Is Royal Mail the preferred shipping method in the UK?

Looking at shipping methods currently.
I presume most sellers use RM, is this the case?
How many of you have had lost deliveries with tracked and non tracked services?
Does anyone prefer other options DPD, UPS, DHL etc
Particularly thinking these maybe preferable if customers want bulkier orders and also thinking that the tracking with dpd and its 1hr delivery window seems like it would be good to avoid delays and disputes. What do you think?

Most sellers on LB within the UK use Royal Mail for deliveries, usually they also have a price for postage ($5) and are received within 1 - 3 days with first class. Not too sure about other countries though delivery to other countries though and bulk orders in assuming could still be quite good through Royal Mail, not too certain on the other deliver companies though.

I presume it is normal to use a recorded service so as to allay fears of unscrupulous buyers scamming by saying delivery failed?

Some sellers use recorded delivery and give a tracking number to their customers so the seller can check if the buyer has received it and if they buyer has said that they haven’t then they have a backup to show that they have, but it also protects the buyers. Some sellers have separate postage options though, one where the buyer does get the tracking number, which costs more and one where they don’t.

I like Dpd but accept what methods vendors have here , it is what it is

Have you received items with dpd here? Are there any particular down points known to using a courier service like them over RM?

Srfcsean 9.5/10

No not from here all threw national post services , personally couriers in general are better than national post service, in saying that never had any problems yet with either my experience is courier is safer and securer in my opinion. Get it sent to local shop wen out for delivery that helps me

Preferred packaging styles

Preferred packaging styles

Hey lb crew. I'm a noob to the whole Internet side of the UK market and was always hesitant about getting involved with the DW side of thing?, but now after I recently found lb I feel I might have the right avenue to start sharing a few batches of very high grade 'Artisan' products I produce with the UK community.?

So my question?
I am looking into packaging currently and unsure which route to go with the various products?‍♂️ so looking for some buyer feedback.

1. How do you Prefer your flower to be packaged? Foil bags, poptop plastic tubs, glass jars, tuna tin style or something else?
2. How do you prefer your concentrates to be packaged? Slick sheet squares in foil bags, polystyrene jars with silicon inserts, glass jars or something else?
3. How do you want oil vape cart storage tubes to be packaged?
4. How would you like edible capsules/sweets to be packaged?

Thanks in advanced for any responses???❤

I’d personally prefer flower to be packaged in foil bags, pop tops or vacuum sealed. I’d love if I could get concentrates in glass jars, that would be a great addition for storing it, as well foil bags and parchment paper as they are a good combo. Not too sure about storing vape carts or edibles though, but they could both be good in foil bags I guess. Hope this helps <3

On this subject can any UK guys recommend any good stealth smell proof packaging suppliers? I've been looking at topshelfpackaging.co.uk so far but range seems limited and labeling is too generic.

how does visibility work?

I've been wondering about this. What settings do most people advise using?
