Hows this for a rip off

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,

I was on  the  Antics online  site.

Ohh, never used them before. I tend to use Hattons or some of the ebay shops and indapentant sellers.

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.

Could  be  the case  Poliss   try  again  as   cant  find  anyone  selling  them  online  not  asking for  the  earth  just a  few  bits of  metal   for track  alignment   dont  rely  on  them for  contact.

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
