    Standard practise for the shopping channels I believe.
    Bid TV and Pricedrop TV charge astronomical prices for postage and £1.50 a minute for the calls. I guess that's how the recoup some of their money when the prices go lower than they wanted.

    I guess it's not bad if you've got the money to spend on the postage. Probably cheaper to buy one from a garden centre mind you.

    No worries :beer:

  • No, I ordered just one cherry tree, which came to 6 99. I bought a tree from Homebase and it was 9 99 which is the standard price, but they are even pricier in a lot of garden centres
