Generic Zirtek hayfever tablets - 49p for 30!!!!

Wow - these were cheap at 1.99 for 30 when I bought them last week, but are now 49p a box!!!

I've just bought 3 boxes for next year. The postage is a little dear, but 90 tablets with postage comes in at just over £6 - still very cheap!

    Postage is a rip-off on this site! The more you want to spend the higher they charge for postage!! Most companies offer cheaper postage with higher spending!!! 20 Packs with first class recorded delivery of £94 + 9.80(tablets) = 103.80!!!!!

    Surely this is a mistake? They were previously offering free p&p on 30 tabs when they were charging £1.99??
    I spelt my username wrongly on purpose, by the way!

    Didn't they sell these recently in Aldi?
  • Just phoned up the shop on 0870 950 9666 and paid over the phone. :)

    They charged £5 postage for 10 packs so looks like it's just an error on the site.
  • do you have to spend a certain amount ?
    i keep getting 'In order to perform checkout your order subtotal must exceed the minimum defined value' when i try to order one box

    I've just queried the postage with the company as it seems there is a glitch.
