I guess Teesside is classed as the back of beyond - it reckoned postage was going to be £6.95 plus Vat, because apparently Royal Mail don't deliver to us. Guess someones been leaking my reputation!!

I can't see postage mentioned as £2.99 anywhere. It is mentioned has £6.95 + VAT.

When it told me that postage would be £6.95, it also said that the Royal Mail option wasn't available for this item. This was for the MP3 player, costing about £11 (plus the postage).

Ditto Stumpy, also was going to go for the MP3 player, but was put of by the £6.95 postage.

Seems a bit off to me - can't see any reason why they couldn't bung it in a padded envelope - shouldn't cost them any more than a pound to post. A bloody cheek.

I bought one off ebay around a year ago....It was sent form Hong Kong and came in a presentation type box which was about 6 inches by 4 inches by 3 inches (6"x4"x3") about the same size as 5 DVD boxes stacked (couldn't think of anything to decribe it). it cost me over £36.00 and I noticed the MP3 player is cheaper even when postage is added, than what it was previously.

It does suck big time though on what they are charging for postage for it and they are obviously making back their profit on the postage.....however, it will be next day delivery and I recently returned a faulty PDA (Expansys offer on the Mio 168) which cost me £6.55 for next day delivery
