Post by: Simon Gerrard on October 02, 2012, 05:29:53 pm
We are coming to the end of our contract with 123 Send who we pay £24.99 per month + vat, plus charges.
Anyone got anything better than that, if so details please?

allthough i don't use card machines the price you pay seems good to me i think you would only save a little if you searched but i like the tried and tested you could change and save £5 a month but then have problems you never had before.

Keep an eye on Groupon, there is bound to be a better deal on there at some point.

You can then change over and save yourself a fiver a month.

Sorry Simon, just can't help laughing at the absurdity of the post.

It is a wind up, right?

Would like to go down the machine route but I still can't justify £300 p/a plus charges just to get my money.

after massive research on this subject including numerous visits from terminal sales reps. i came to the conclusion that there all the same price, they just dress it up differently. low rates but minimum charge on transactions, or no minumum but high rates, or low rates on domestic bt high on commercial cards. or initial one off fees that look harmless but end up making up the small percentage you save on tranactions or seams cheap but they have you for 5 years etc.... anyway you get the drift. if your happy and you know it then stick with the devil you know rather than a bird in the bush. ;)  ;D

It's good to keep up to date with these things, I was looking a while back and didn't go for it and since then the options seemed to have widened.

I use a system from Barclays called EPDQ Lite, pc based, just call whoever is paying and enter their details, not ideal if you want to take payment there and then, unless you log on with a laptop in custy's house, after completion of job.

So you tap card details into a mobile phone, how does that go down with customers?
