Hi,
i had a look at your e-mail again.
I used to work as a shop-manager in Norway you see.
So I get a bit of shock, when I think about a pallet of Glacier Mints.
But, if I get a loan from RBS, then maybe pallets are fine.
But, I was just wondering.
In case I don't get a loan, is it a possibilty for me, to buy boxes of
Fox's products.
Since I have a retail-shop, on the internet, and only sells in 200 gram bags.
(The usual customer buys perhaps 3 or 4 200 gram bags of sweets).
But thank you very much anyway for your reply.
This is the first e-commerce business I set up, so I'm a bit new to
this.
Sorry that I'm sending many e-mails!

Hi,
thank you very much for your e-mail!
I see that you think I live in Norway.
(I've been living here in the UK
since I studied in Sunderland, in 2004).
I see you only export pallets.
But I'm a like a British retailer, and a pallet is a bit much for me, in the
beginning.
I was wondering if I could please have you domestic portifolio, since I'm going
to operate as a British business, from the UK,
with an RBS business bank-account, and I live in the UK,
in the city centre of Liverpool, so I should
be close to other shops that buy from you.
But thank you very much anyway for your e-mail!

Hi,
I have worked as a shop-manager, in one of Norway's
biggest food-shop chains, Rimi, (now owned by ICA).
(I have had to
move to the UK, since I'm
being followed, by something called 'the mafian', in Oslo, in 2003.
The police don't
even want to tell me who they are).
I'm unemployed so I've started an eCommerce-business, (I've studied IT at Oslo University
College, NITH in Oslo, and at the Unversity of Sunderland).
I've heard that
Glacier-mints, are no longer sold in Norway.
That's why I thought I could try and see, if I managed to set up a webshop,
which I've now managed:
I'm going to work
on the design and logo a bit more, etc.
I've only just started, so I only get like one order a day, or every other day.
But, I go to Employment Zones, at Sencia, and David Ellis there, have suggested
to me, that Sencia perhaps could help with founds for marketing etc., in our
last meeting.
So I thought I could check if it's possible for me to order the mints from you?
Like I told Mr. Ellis, I've just bought the sweets in the normal shops in Liverpool now, since I just wanted to test, if I could
set up these shops.
And the shop is now working very well, and I have bought the packaging that is
the right for the products, and I send customs-declaration-forms and invoces,
with every order, which I ship on the same day, as the order arrives, since I
have a letter-box, for franked mail, (the customers pay with PayPal, and they
have a service, that prints 'stamps').
The goods are being sent, by air-mail, to Norway,
and also to the rest of Europe.
I send them as 'small packages', up to 2 kg.
And the
toll-barriere in Norway,
is at 200 kroner, (around £20).
I sell the Glacier-mints for 19.90, that's around £2.
And freight is 59
kroner, that's around £6 for up to 2 kilos.
The goods then arrive in Norway/Europe, in about two days time.
The Glacier Mints
then cost about the same, (around £3 including freight), as they did in Norway earlier,
when one could buy them in the shops.
I was wondering
how much it would cost me, to buy from you at Fox.
How many boxes
have I got to order, to get them delivered, or sent by post?
And what are the
prices for the different products you produce.
I'm interested in expanding, and would also be interested in stocking you other
sweets, after a while.
But I thought I'd try to start with the Glacier-sweets, since many people in Norway, miss
the Glacier Mints, (I've read on the internet).
They were being sold in Norway,
as 'Isbre Mint'.
And I remember
them, from when I lived in Norway.
I think it's a very good product, that cleans one's throat etc., after eating
dinner etc.
And they also
taste good, so they were eaten as sweets as well, in Norway.
So I would hope very much, that it's possible for me, to buy these sweets from
you.
And I hope it's
ok, that I sell them on the internet, to Norway,
from here in the UK.
Thank you very much in advance for any reply!
