Systainer.Store Grand Opening - 10% off your order for October

[Cochese]

I’d like to see a pre-cut plywood bottom for the Systainer 2 thru Systainer 4 made from 12mm Baltic Birch.  This could be done on a CNC and would make custom inserts much easier to build.

heck yeah.

Really on the auto moderation for that place down south? SMH

For those checking out the site, we just implemented some discounting that applies when your order 2 or more of the standards Systainer products.  The discount dialog isn't displaying well yet for our site and we will get that straightened out.  The discount should show up at checkout, and of course, our "GrandOpening" 10% discount code is still active till the end of October.   

I've done some research of the various product requests here.  Basically, if there is a Festool specific item, Systainer.store won't be able to source/supply it at this time as we are only an authorized independent dealer for Tanos.  Other Tanos products, like you see in the European catalog, will make their way to the USA in time - stay tuned!  I'll keep working some of the customized options you are requesting as well like the foam and pre-cut wood inserts.

Thanks for the request [member=18283]RobBob[/member].
As for different colors of systainers, that is something I've put on my plan.  It will be a while before I implement that though as it takes larger orders direct from Germany.  What would you say are the top three colors Systainer.Store should stock?

From my point of view as long as you have light gray I'm happy. Maybe a color for a first aid kit would be nice or for some other specialty items, I'd rather see costs stay low.

What I would like is a variety of latch colors and spare parts. It would be super nice to be able to get interior liners. Perhaps you could find a vendor who could make interior foam and there could be a library of designs that could be produced at a reasonable price.

Thank you guys for the continued feedback.

We got the quantity discount system in place now.  Most product pages look OK, though a couple pages have an oddity we are trying to resolve in the code related to the positioning of the add to cart button.  Our next task to improve our site is to add further text/tabs to each product with more description and measurement info.

This weekend I may be able to test cut some plywood insert samples and if so I hope to get the community feedback.

I'm doing some studying of shipping rates for Systainer.store, and now I'm curious about community feedback. 

We aren't at the point of being able to offer free shipping, however I'm looking at something that is more like flat rate shipping.  Right now our site is calculating shipping and passing through the exact shipping cost.  I've got a feeling that flat rate shipping may be more appealing, especially since the Systainer is a bulkier item to ship.  I'd like to get your feedback on if you prefer flat rate shipping or pass through actual shipping cost.  If the flat rate shipping table is set up right, I suspect that for most orders shipping would be cheaper.  My initial pass at the shipping table is below:

Orders up to $50 :: $6.00
$50 to $100        :: $8.00
$100 to $200      :: $10.00
$200 and up      :: $12.00
Special bulky items may still have actual shipping

What do you think?

Those prices seem fair but how many Sys 4’s does it take to equal “bulky”?

 

[peter halle]

A someone who once shipped a bunch of Systainers on a personal level I would offer the advice that you go thru a significant period of time shipping at actual cost versus a flat rate shipping.  Then take that data and look to see what works best for you based on simplicity, etc.  Also look at your pricing based on box dimensions if applicable.  For instance 2 Sys 1 locked together in the same box should be the same size as a single Sys-3 but weighs more than a Sys-3.

Sustainers don't weigh much but the shipping cost really is affected by the volume of the air inside.

Offered respectfully.

Thank you Peter and Michael.  I've not shipped enough multi Systainer orders to have a handle on the many combination of Systainers and shipping.  The volume of air, as you put it Peter, has been the thing on my mind.

For the moment I'll stick with actual shipping costs to gather more data.
