Charity Christmas Cards NAS

Paull

I don't know about anyone else, but personally I find it borderline deceit that you go to buy charity christmas cards online and you cannot even find out anywhere on the page or entire site any details about how much percentage wise actually goes to the charity, even here in the NAS shop, come to think about it what percentage of any profit from any product sold by NAS goes to the charity ?

My logic is that not seeing the percentage means it is being hidden, which means it is being hidden for a reason, the only reason can be that they don't want you to see it, and the only reason they don't want you to see it is because it's so low that it will put you off buying and the only reason it is so low is because the majority of the money is being syphoned off elsewhere - such as into other companies - no doubt with shareholders who are also involved with those charities.

  • I find it very hard to accept that people actually buy charity cards without knowing what percentage of the price they are buying at is going direct to the charity and even more harder to accept that charities have the gall not to display such information on the sales page.. it's like they are saying 'if you buy these cards for £3.95 then some of the money (although we are not going to tell you how much) will go to charity', and the person buying is saying 'I am going to buy these cards for £3.95 because some of the money, (although I don't know exactly how much and I am not even going to question how much either because I really don't care) will go to charity'

    I just wondered...if colour printing on card is so expensive then how come I can get a pack of 40 Christmas cards at several places in the high street for £1...also I have worked in printing, I know the costs, even the best cards only cost pennies each to produce.

    I can't see the logic in not being transparent unless there is something to hide.

    Intenseworld - not everything - but almost everything these days, the press, the police, charities, businesses, polticians - time after time all we see is corruption.
