When the BBC want some vacuum expertise.
I’ll keep this short as many people find maths tedious..Imagine we buy a Sebo vacuum cleaner for £300 and would like to make 10% clear on it so we want £330.
If you visit us and pay cash you can buy it for £330..If you visit us and pay with a card it might cost you £335 because the card company costs about £5 to process a face-to-face payment..If you buy it online from us, PayPal or Nochex charges about 3.3% to process your payment and we have to pay to send it to you.
So the £330 vacuum cleaner now costs maybe £349.Still quite decent..
If we used Google Shopping, Pricerunner, Genie, Quidco, Topcashback or any number of intermediaries, they might cost £10-15 to send you through to buy, so that vacuum might be £365 now..
If we sell it to you on Amazon, we need 20% off the top to cover their fees and onerous policies.(or perhaps a Mercedes) to drive, and groceries from Waitrose or Ocado.
The same rationale brings you to the decision to buy a Sebo vacuum cleaner.. (If you happen to be a Kia-driving, Android-using, Aldi shopper, please don’t send us angry grams – we are referring to general demographics here.).Which Sebo Vacuum to Buy for Your Cleaner?.
Now we look at the question of which Sebo vacuum cleaner to buy.If you go somewhere like John Lewis you will be presented with the usual very limited domestic range and given lots of flimflam by salespeople who will sell you a half-decent vacuum cleaner with the best of intentions.. That’s all very nice but it’s only half the story.
