Hi.
I am currently in the process of starting a jewellery range of silver and lampwork glass. We will be selling to trade for approx 60 - 70 pounds and retail at about 120 for a necklace. Does anyone know if trade buyers would expect the jewellery to come packaged in a decent box etc or would they provide their own? When we sell direct to the customer we will be using wooden boxes that cost us about £9. This is fine when trading at full price but at trade it is quite a big margin of the price. Would it be rude to give trade the option of the items coming with/without packaging and charging the extra £9 if they want it? Thanks for any help, Nial.
