    This is a real bug bearer of mine. As Soolin says above, by Royal Mail the charges are exactly the same. Many many times I have won auctions which state Postage via 1st class Royal Mail. Sellers have the cheek to try and increase charges after they realise you are located in NI!! :mad:

    loethecat, i don't blame you for been annoyed

    the buyer emailed me and asked if there would be any extra charges, i wasn't sure as i've never sent an item there yet. i would have been annoyed if there was extra as it is part of the uk.
