If you are thinking of jumping ship from @tindie to @lectronz then well...
DO IT!
#Lectronz was smaller, but the latest #tindie fiasco has changed that. You can see their own posts of new listings have gone from every few days to many a day. They are getting bigger.
But they do EU IOSS as well.
And they do US tariff as percentage.
And they do postage based on weight.
And they can import products from Tindie.
And, importantly, our last weeks sales match what we would have had with Tindie.
Lots more products listed on #Lectronz now. Ok I think all 25 products now.
I think the @lectronz sales are already catching up to what @tindie sales used to be, in the first week. This is very encouraging that we could drop #tindie totally perhaps.
Andrews & Arnold Ltd are a UK based communications company. We sell internet, telephone, SMS, and make some serious routers (FireBrick). We use a lot of open source, and give back with a lot of open source code and hardware designs on Codeberg. We have many open source PCB designs. These are not sold as consumer products, but assembled PCBs, development boards for hobbyist use. Suggestions and git merge requests on Codeberg always welcome.
Learned something new today: Lectronz is the new Tindie!
Looks promising.
Well, @lectronz win here.
Our first ever IOSS shipment to EU (AUSTRIA), Austrian VAT charged at point of sale and no import VAT to pay for end user.
And all fed in to customs declaration on Royal Mail postage.
@tindie was never that slick.
I have it set up so my staff see a list of orders, one click to print postage and it tells Lectronz the shipment tracking all in one. They then pack, label, and done. Slick fulfilment.
This is interesting. It seems Lectronz can work as a “deemed supplier” in to the EU.
I wondered how this works now.
It seems there is an IOSS number to provide to the courier which presumably stops them asking the recipient for VAT.
I wonder if/how Royal Mail handle that. I’ll have to ask. It would make it a lot easier for EU buyers.
I dread to think what bureaucracy goes on behind the scenes with that!
Interesting quirk on #lectronz
New products show edit and delete
It seems those with sales do not show delete.
Two products do not show delete yet no order I see yet - is someone "ordering" now, I wonder.
Should have products on @lectronz shortly. Getting first one on, and approved, and then will do all the API integration on it. Planning to move all @tindie stuff over, obviously. No idea if we'd ever trust Tindie to re-list on them or not, maybe one day.
The shipping rate stuff on lectronz is way better. I have been able to fine tune USA rates, and I'll be working through more detailed EU shipping rates soon as well.
It allows us to get really close to shipping at cost price
