Hi guys-don't mean to be stingy or anything but does anyone agree with me that £5.00ish standard delivery charge is alot for post and packaging-i'd be more inclined to buy stuff from them if it were more like £2.00ish.

My 2 shillings

This is a common income tactic with mail order. Some companies have a graduated scale as your purchases increase, regardless of size,wieght or quantity.) They simply can't be bothered assessing the true cost per order, or listing the true wieght of the product ( a few do this.) So they create a very generous ( to them) scale. I try to patronise firms that treat me fairly. When I do make a purchase, for instance anything from WIGGYS ( NO S/H FEES) I also make a photocopy of the M/O and order form. I SEND IT TO THE COMPETITION and explain why they lost my order.

That is a very good idea!!

I will try it-actually i sent a e-mail to them about 8 weeks a ago but never got a response! It had the punch line of your delievery prices are ridiculous-i don't know which delievery company you are using but why not try royal mail!
