Amazon not the cheapest

I went on to the Amazon site looking for a Dymo Tape Labeller and found the Dymo Omega at £13.99 (or thereabouts), and lower down on the page it offered this with a pack of Black tapes and Blue tapes at a total of £19.99 approx.
However, when it came to the final checkout I found that each item would come from a separate supplier, incurring three delivery charges!
One item cost £2.15 plus about £4.25 postage. The final total was over £29.
I went to a Ryman Stationers store in Leicester and bought the same Dymo Omega for £8.99 plus a tape for £3.39.
No reliance should be placed on the above.

    How much would it have cost if you had picked it up from Amazon?

    so the purpose of your thread was tell everyone, you found something cheaper at another retailer..................genius

    Where does it say amazon is always the cheapest anyway??
    Everyones opinion is the most important.....no wonder nothing is ever agreed on.

    My free Pensioner's Bus Pass would not get me as far as Amazon - wherever they might be!
