Ziggy's Warehouse

Freight Rate Review

Ziggy’s Warehouse online store has a freight calculation module that calculates freight for anywhere in Australia. That is quite complex given we stock everything from 200 gram Winnie the Pooh Stickers Sets in our Stickers and Stationery section, to 16kg 3 piece Trolley Luggage sets in our Luggage section.

I’d like to offer free shipping on orders over $150. I’d also like to offer a flat rate shipping method on orders below $150. But may be harder to work out. What do you all think? Comment below (comments will remain private and invisible other users) or you can email.

Brand identity

It’s an interesting challenge to work out the Ziggy’s brand identity.

We started as

Ziggy’s Warehouse : the gizmo, gift & gadget superstore

Great positioning for category leadership, but what about the toys or exercise equipment? Those are significant parts of the business. And I can’t see how we’ll stretch luggage into those 3 g’s. What happens if we start selling suppliments?

Ziggy’s also runs warehouse sales and retail clearances, so it’s got a closeout business. Closeouts is a strange business to stay in. Sometimes we have lots of inventory at great prices, other times we’re stuck without a thing to sell.

Ziggy’s Online Store

The coffee, red bull, and jolt cola has been flowing as Ziggy’s online store is being constructed. It should be ready for testing next week. Feel free to explore but it may not be up continously until we announce it.

How exciting! We’re deciding how to launch it.

Father’s Day? We can’t ship in time.

Opening Sale? Not cool enough.

Spring Carnival? Now that’s more like it.

Oh for you Northern Hemisphere readers, yes we are located in Australia, so spring is tomorrow.
