I think going Amazon is a good move, and in fact, they need to put the Amazon link on their page like before so people know the option is there. It is always better to have more places selling it
Possibly but only for a few new potential customers. I imagine that the online price went to $10 for one only as the $9.99 card is being hit with a commission to sell it. Perhaps Amazon gives them a corporate rate...not sure.
Also, as long as PM staying with regular mail with Canada post, there is no way they can patch their slow shipping,
Disagree 100%. The issue with the slow delivery is their processing time. And I have proven it.
It is hard to beat Amazon Prime one day shipping with reliable tracking
I kind of don't agree with that either. I have an Amazon account and have no idea of where to see any tracking or confirmation of delivery. And I don't appreciate the delivery sitting on my porch in view of any one walking by. And the delivery guy can take a pic of it but can't even do courtesy door bell ring.
I understand not everyone has Amazon account, but many do. Given that PM is going all in with online support/sales/activation, PM's target market is now those who can manage their accounts online, and I expect a big percentage of those have Amazon account
PM should be targeting low income customers as well as seniors. Low income might not even have a credit card and a lot of seniors will not do the online purchase. PM needs to be more well rounded with SIM card availability and perhaps needs a better option to pay at the time of activation.
The line ."Ensure you get a genuine product by only purchasing from Public Mobile" definitely targeting others selling PM sim on the side like CCS. But I guess it also targetting those who are "selling" the friend code with free sim card on eBay.
Perhaps....but why them? I bought mine on Craigslist and they guy was very knowledgeable and helped me decide to come to PM. He answered all of my questions. And that knowledge isn't offered at a store or?? The local contact did it for me!! And for PM that is another customer!!
And without a sale commission for new activation, I doubt CCS , or others sellers, will put in too much effort to sell PM sim card. Yes, CCS still selling it, but just because they have the site setup and they don't mind to put another item there, but the effort for pushing PM to customers is definitely not the same
I imagine that CCS eventually will run out. They are selling off the inventory that he had "pre change" of no retailers. He has tried numerous prices to no avail and seems to have struck it right with $5.
