Hi All,

I looked at a leading retailer for some Peco N gauge rail joiners ( 3 packs) i went to the checkout to find the postage is £5.00 for them

Think i'll be soldering brass strips to the rail ends at that postage cost

Hi Adamrules,

Must be a glitch on the checkout. Normal p&p there is £4.00 for UK and £5.00 for overseas.

There's a note in the shipping charges which says, "Where an order is for just one or two small items, postage may be reduced to £2.00."

Maybe they think you're a damn Yankee Nick.

I remember making a note of thier charges a couple of years ago 'cos then it was only £2.50.

Whilst I have a flat-rack shipping charge, in this case I would have charged a pound for the Jiffy bag and the large-letter postage.

Osborns have a £2.00 shipping charge for small items, Stockton Modeller are £2.50.
I always get mine from Ebay where the postage is usually much less. e.g. item 170331010097 postage 1.10
