How much would you pay for p&p on meat to your door?
I need to get the price from a courier next week but wonder how much people would be prepared to go to?

Depends £35 is cheap for 1/2 a sheep round here so p&p shouldn't be too much of an issue

usual price seems to be about 8 -10 quid, and free over £100 orders. try looking at:

https://www.sheepdroveshop.com
https://www.higherhacknell.co.uk/
https://www.donaldrussell.com/
https://www.wellhungmeat.com/

For market research. All do good meat, and different delivery options.

We will be sending it in polystyrene boxes packed with ice. The boxes are specialist meat boxes and there are also organ transplant boxes we can get, now i bet they keep things cool!

In which case I would check with Interlink if you are an FSB member or even Parcel Force if you're not. Depending on the volumes you will be sending you can get it down to less than £6 for 24 delivery. But don't forget to factor in the cost of packaging....

Personally as a consumer I tend to look elsewhere if it costs more than £8 to deliver though of course that would also depend on amount ordered. I would also expect free delivery over about £75 or so....
