Title: Would people be Interested in a UK weed supplier?
Post by: icon2007 on May 05, 2012, 02:21 pm
Hi,

you may have seen me about on the forums and may know I am in the process of setting up a Cannabis Import business...

although my original plan was to sell to friends etc I am now wondering if it would be worth it to sell on SR?

would people be interested in this service and if so would you be more willing to buy grams etc or buy ounces?

I personally would want to sell in ounces as it is easier for me to package etc


and also what prices would you see reasonable for ounces and per gram? like what would maximum be you would pay?


If the feedback is good I would start selling at the end of August :)

Grams AND ounces!

Seriously, you'll sell both.

People have been looking for a reasonably priced UK weed supplier for ages. Right now all our choices are really expensive.

Depending on the quality of bud, highest I'd be willing to pay is £8-9 a gram

But if it's regular, like £6-7 max a gram.

I would never go over £10 a gram that price you might aswell go and buy it off the streets lol.. I think I will consider it to be honest and most probably will do it actually...

what kind of prices would you pay for ounces? would £280 be too much considering thats charging £10 a gram?

Way too much, you gotta give the discount for bulk buy

But yeah dude I'd definitely hit you up if you had reasonable prices. What weed do you have? Also you willing to do a few free 0.5g samples so people can review the product?

Do G's 1/2 oz and oz 280 is too much per oz, if you wack up some 0.5 samples then sure, no need for them to be free but cheap enough to cover all postage have a small amount over.

yeah I was thinking £280 would be way too much but then I dont want to eat up too much into my profits either bro...

I dont have any weed yet but Iv talked to a lot of different suppliers etc from europe to canada so the weed would always be different etc...

and yeah course! I will offer free 0.5-1gram samples to build my feedback etc but I will be starting in august when Im back from holiday

could you tell me some prices you guys would be comfortable paying for ounces wise?

I wouldn't pay higher than £210 for a full oz

You could do a price scale like

1-3grams - £9 each
3-10 grams -£8.75 each
10-20 grams - £8.50 each
20-27 grams - £8 each
28 grams+ - £7.50 each

2 ounces - £7 each
4 ounces+ -£6.50 each

That way you incentivise people to buy bigger orders but you also make a killing off the small orders

OP would you be buying your stock on SR? or from a source IRL?

actually that price is not bad at all! thanks for the feedback guys! considering its so positive I will keep everyone updated! is there any strains that you guys particularly want to see? I can get some grade Burmese kush but because of exams at the moment I wont be importing yet etc... but yeah would strains like Burmese kush interest you?

OP would you be buying your stock on SR? or from a source IRL?

I have spoken to some wholesalers on SR but more time my stock would be from outside sources... would buying from SR be a problem?

Not really its just from outside sources there is less dependency of you awaiting for stock to arrive and also lower prices :)

yeah I see your point problem is with outside sources although the price would be cheaper the risk is a lot more plus no proven track record etc but the sellers I have spoken to on SR have made me some amazing offers and they also have a track record etc but I think I will have a mix of things to spice things up :) going to cost a lot to get started up though like buying stock etc and vaccum sealers etc

yeah but dont skimp! vacuum machines, investing time in packing methods etc.

and if you can find a decent source then your set, the amount of grows that are happening in the UK is ridiculous. If anything grow yourself , alot more upfront cost and risk but the profit you will be making will most definitely be worth it.

Yeah a vacuum sealer/label printer/quality envelopes are a must.

Slick dude I'll write your name down then throw you a PM in August to get a review of your product up and stuff. Burmese kush sounds beast btw

Fuck dude, I hope you realise potentially just how many orders you might get!

It's a full time thing. If you're offering the prices we stated here earlier, that'd make you the best UK weed vendor.

You'll honestly get a shitload of orders dude, you might have to go stealth within a month!

Also running this from a house with anti-weed parents, haha.. Man, I hope it works out for you. Im assuming they don't even go in your room. Otherwise how are you going to explain the weed smell/huge pile of envelopes/bulk amount of stamps/constant trips to the post box?
