    How on earth do they come up with £2.99 for delivery? Sorry but I get in a lather about things like this...

    Royal Mail website brings up the following (and bear in mind that a padded envelope should cost just a few pence on top):

    Your pricing results for a UK delivery, weighing 200.0 gram are...

    Service Delivery Compensation Tracking Price
    First Class stamps* Delivery Aim 1 Day - - £0.84
    Recorded (Signed For) First Class stamps* Delivery Aim 1 Day - Yes £1.52
    Second Class stamps* Delivery Aim 3 Days - - £0.62
    Recorded (Signed For) Second Class stamps* Delivery Aim 3 Days - Yes £1.30
    Special Delivery 9.00am Guaranteed next working day - Yes £10.50
    Special Delivery Next Day Guaranteed by noon next working day - Yes £4.50
    Standard Parcels Delivery Aim 3 Days - - £3.85

    So a nice mark-up of at least £1.49 on top of the £1.50 they should really be charging (say 20p for packaging plus £1.30 for the recorded version of the second class service they almost certainly use). Why can't they just be honest and say 'try our soap half price' or whatever?

    I wash my hands of this offer.
