The last one seems the most sensible to me. If an item costs less than a fiver chances are its also pretty small and lightweight. So the postage should be realative

Pah, rubbish! What about a bag of sand? or even a huge box of feathers? Or a hot air balloon (complete with hot air).

You've been riding your new bike again haven't you? I can tell cos the adrenaline's obviously still surging round your system.

...and they arrived next day in perfect nick (shame Mrs forgot to tell me!) and they were in a good sized padded envelope. Yes, it was all of 47p. I'm glad Professor didn't charge me £3.03 to pack the envelope and walk it to the post box.

Incidentally I'm using the tiger ears & tail at the moment and they do provoke a reaction. Some people laugh. Others don't....

I'm asuming that was aimed at the good Dr for ripping into my post.

Amazing the after affects of a good ride. I'm sure it keeps us all younger too.

A company like hein gericke is probably doing multiple parcels a day and it 's not possible for them to do this. They also have to advertise a price that will probably represent a large majority of items they send where on some they will make some but this is then swallowed by the items that cost more to send. It's not possible for someone with a catalogue to weigh everything in it and work out an individual price on each item and charge on that basis.

They also have to pay somebody to find the item in their warehouse, check it, pack it etc.

That's a lot more to it then just putting it into an envelope and posting.

Personally i would not worry about the postage as this is advertised and something you already know about but i would be ****ed off about the change of price in the product.

Yes but I don't really see this P&P thing to be the real issue here. This is a complete derail.




What's more concerning, as I've already pointed out, is that they have tried to charge Clanger more than was said in the catalogue, and without stating before putting the transaction through.

P&P is what it is, some people will think it's steep, some wont, it's besides the point, they have it cleared indicated in the catalogue - take it or leave it.
