TRADEME COURIER COSTS

Linda from Henderson

Lately when I have used Trademe's own couriers' quote, I have found that often the price they quote for the buyer to pay, has increased by several dollars even when the item is sold within a few days after being listed.
This unfair practise leaves the seller paying the extra costs.
An recent example . A family member sold a clothes drying rack for $15, and the courier, Aramex, charged an extra $4.50 over the quoted price. Where is this extra cost going I wonder? Petrol has gone down lately, not up.
I think Trademe need to do a bit of spot checking.

Some Choice News!

Kia pai from Sharing the Good Stuff

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.

Thanks to people like Alan Baldick, who’s made it his mission to protect the monarch, his neighbours still get to enjoy these beautiful butterflies in their own backyards.

Thinking about planting something to invite more butterflies, bees, and birds into your garden?

Thanks for your mahi, Alan! We hope this brings a smile!
