Change to Pricing on Custom Orders

[JeffNNN]

Fair enough. Always been amazed by the ease with which you did this.

[Duckman]

 I think that this is perfectly reasonable  and its good that you will still allow us to customise an order.  There are a couple of manufacturers out there that will do this ( in other scales) and they charge a "custom pack" price.

No problems with that, might teach me to count!

This is a little worrying as I believe your a maths teacher. ( readers from across the pond please note the correct spelling of the numerical subject has an S on the end )

Leon, This is only right and fair. I must also say how absolutely great you are to be so accommodating.

Because of your quality and service I keep looking for ways to use your figures.

No worries from me on this one.  

Its right and proper that fiddly orders are charged a bit extra to cover the extra costs involved.

Shame you spelled 'your' wrong.   

Sorry, 'Ducky'  ...Couldn't resist that.

Primary (Lower) these days!
You're right, counting is a weak-point, the amount of units that end up short is incredible, mostly as I paint late at night when the brain isn't on!!!

Thanks for the replies, good to see everyone's OK with this.

What's "whatnot"?

Whatnot would be leccy-tricity and gas to run the machines! 

On the upside, I can see that it's better for Pendraken Incorporated Inc to sensibly price these orders. On the downside, you may be "legitimising" the system, so those who wouldn't normally ask for bespoke may now do so. 

There may be a few people who decide to try some custom orders, but for the sake of a few £'s here and there I think most folk prefer to buy full packs and have some spares laying around.

Will prices on 'bits' still be ad-hoc ("can I get an extra turret for a CHurchill IV please", etc)?

Yep, those would be covered by this bit:

Other items/packs will be priced in a similar manner, basically around a 20% premium on top of the usual price.

So we can still supply them as normal, but there'd be a small price premium on it.

It seems perfectly reasonable - many companies won't or can't split packs. Either due to the effort or that they get full packs from their third party caster.

I bought a load of half packs at the start of the year, and thought it was a bit cheeky to ask. But Leon was absolutely fine. If it would have cost me 50p more a pack, I'd have been happy, and in some cases would have bought a full pack to have a few extras.

[Kassad]

No problem! 

[ronan]

No problem!

Very reasonable approach and thanks for informing people. I for one would always be prepared to pay extra for those times when I am looking for flexibility beyond standard packs.

Keep up the great work

[Genom]

To be fair the one time I did ask for a custom stuff, I didn't even know how much it cost until I picked it up at the show and paid for it.  I just trusted that I wasn't going to get ripped off given who I was dealing with.

Readers in the English-speaking world note that your and you're are two different animals, especially before kicking Americans while they're down (as in recent lessons in the built-in effects of democracy).
