Title: How do Eurocarparts make a profit?
Post by: Field Marshal Dr. Opti on 05 November 2013, 13:16:18
Arrived this morning........Free delivery.
Three large boxes delivered by UPS, which contain 3x5 litres of concentrated (minus 15 degrees) screenwash ...plus another pair of wipers for the Omega. :y

Total cost £15.23. Profit margins must be slim at Eurocarparts.  :y

They were so cheap at £1.25 and £1.50, and work so well, that I invested in a spare pair. :y :y

I reckon that the postage would come to £15 on it's own.

Not with the volume they send out Mr Opti, probably only paying a couple of pounds per box for first pkg and less for the extra pkgs as same address  :y
