  • I have now added this thread to the NI board index for popular topics, should you need to find it again for reference.
  • one for the red list https://www.halfords.com - they charge £4.99 delivery and then add £14.99 extra for Northern Ireland. Needless to say I didn't bother to buy the item and won't be shopping there either.

    Hi tried ordering from the new asda electricals site (via asda.com) – took my details and money then got a phone call a while later to say they couldn’t deliver to NI (even though there’s an asda store a mile away from me). Then discovered that asda electricals is run by a firm called miller brothers based in doncaster – so did the same thing on their website – took all my delivery details, took payment from my credit card – then got an email later to say my order had been cancelled. I don’t mind paying a few pounds extra for delivery but to have your details and money taken and then to be told they can’t deliver is scandalous, especially from a global operator such as asda/walmart. Definitely one for the red list
  • I ordered a TV stand for my brother form empiredirect.co.uk (not to be confused with the cataloque EMPIRE)
    It stated delivery was £5.99. Even after I entered all details including address. I made the payment with my debit card and was told delivery would be within 5-7days due to it bein NI (instead of 3-5 days for UK). This was fine.:rolleyes:
    Over a wk later I recieved a phone call telling me there was an error with a 'pop up' on the website. The delivery charge for NI, would cost an extra......................:mad: £50. :mad: Do u believe that? From £5.99 to £55.99. Needless to say I cancelled the order. :eek:
  • I emailed ebayer asking them why charge us extra £15 on top of £4.99 when the free develiry was on if they can use royal mail and they just said that have no plans to lower the price. So I will buy from dabs before ebuyer.

    Can you add this one to the Green list. No extra charge but delivery might be a day or two longer. Choose the cheapest del. at check out as the higher ones will not make any differance to the del. time.

    Ordered a LCD TV stand on Tuesday and it arrived Friday
    Never argue with an idiot. They bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

    my DH recently bought from ebuyer when the google checkout £10 offer was on, by going through google checkout though there was no surcharge, so a sneaky way past it if youre interested.

    Don't think google check out affects it as I ordered about a year ago and got no surcharge even though it is mentioned on the site.

    Ive posted a few updates to the website from this thread, it was long overdue, ill try an do this more frequently
    I used to have a signature with links to the League Tables for good/bad shipping charges for Northern Ireland. But I have since learnt that this is against site rules - so they are no longer here! PM me if you need them

    http://thecookskitchen.com/ needs to be added to the red list.

    If you live in England or Scotland then delivery of a glass beaker for a cafetiere will cost £4.95.

    If you're in Northern Ireland that jumps to £18.50. Bizarrely, you could have it delivered to the Czech Republic for less (£18).

    In case anyone's wondering what brought me to that site in particular, I need a replacement beaker for my 1.3l cafetiere with keep-warm feature, so it has to be 12cm in diameter in order to fit the heated base.

    Think I'll keep looking.
