For the AliBaba invoice, I'd prefer we wait until work resumes in China tomorrow, so that the 'latest price' and the actual Local Freight Fee, including the mode of payment is gotten.

Thanks.

Dear Mr Biz,

I want to buy this watch but I will use my card to pay directly :

lockheed55:



Pls products 4 and 5 should be USED ITEMS NOT NEW (the lowest price of the used products 4 and 5). One is 15.99usd the other 6.21usd . Try to adjust accordingly as you include product 6 tomorrow. Thanks

BizBloke:


Hi JuneDraza,

That's fine, although I doubt your card will go through because they only accept cards domiciled in their local currency.

Cheers.

junedraza:


OK. In that case, please give me your invoice. I will make payment before afternoon today.

BizBloke:
[size=15pt]GOT A PROBLEM WITH $5/ITEM SERVICE CHARGE? PAY $3 INSTEAD!!![/size]
Yes, that's for real.

From tonight, whenever you buy [size=13pt]5 - 49 items, you automatically pay $3/item Service Charge[/size] instead of the previous $5/item Service Charge.

That's [size=13pt]40% OFF![/size] We charge you less but we don't serve you less because true service is why we're here.

I know you must be asking, 'BizBloke, what happens if I buy 50 items and above or a Flat Rate product or a product in the FRaM category?'

I won't tell you that tonight but in a separate post tomorrow, I'll reveal to you some changes you should be expecting in/from Specuit Cargo in Quarter 2 (April - June) of this year. You'll be wow'd!

P.S: This is still on beta test and based on feedback from you, we'll keep improving on it.

Good night.

BizBloke:


Alright, Donj2005.

Thanks.

BizBloke:
DjayBaba,

The seller claims your product has arrived Specuit Cargo (China). I've to call Specuit Cargo (China) to verify this because the tracking number doesn't tally with what she told us; if it's been received, it will be dispatched to Lagos, Nigeria today.

Cheers.

donj2005:


Payment done please confirm

djaybaba:


Bizbloke

Hoping to receive it b4 easter.
