having used Firstcall Photographic in the past, I was quite surprised to see you quoting their postage at £14... a big jump I thought... So, I'm not sure where you are but it seems that the 'Standard' rate for delivery to most of the UK is a lot less at £7.99, which is a bit more in keeping with other sites. But as others say, it's always worth shopping around. To quote from Firstcall's site: Courier Service Courier Companies Delivery by DPD, Citylink or UK Mail Domestic deliveries UK Mainland There is a standard delivery charge of £7.99 including VAT per order, levied on all orders placed. UK Highlands and Islands For remote UK postcodes, the standard delivery charge is £14.95 including VAT per order. Channel Islands Our delivery charge for the Channel Islands is £15.00 excluding VAT per order. Terry S |

Hi Guys. I'm in Stornoway, Isle of Lewis. Royal Mail and Parcelforce treat all areas of the UK exactly the same, but none the less some companies double (or more) charges to the Islands. It's a practice currently under scrutiny in the Scottish Parliament. So yes, Firstcall quoted me £14 for delivery. I declined. Argos Direct won't deliver at all (was looking at a printer), and next time your browsing E-bay, try keeping an eye out for the vendors who specify they won't send to Highlands and Islands.
Luckily, there are plenty of enlightened companies (Ag, Morco et al) I am very happy to use. Cheers!! |
