Buyer's note : sent with payment and order

Options
This buyer's note takes the biscuit
"Buyer's note: Hi Is it possible to have a reduction of postage costs as both can be sent in the same envelope. Also could you please leave by front door in enclosed front porch if item does not fit through letter box.

The first I have often, why do buyers ask the question of postage costs after paying and not before ? the second part I am speechless, am I Father Christmas ?

    If I notice double orders I do try and refund part (not all!) of the overcharged postage even if not asked  and send together. The same tracking (if applicable) can be used against 2 different sales. It is annoying though, but as most of y items are BIN with immediate payment it is not uncommon.

    I would respond before sending the item out, stating you have no control over the postman and what he will do. You could then offer the reduction in costs by sending together if you wish to do so. Get everything straight with the buyer before sending the item out in the first instance.
