Bit of a rant about having to pay for delivery
Comments

I wonder why they don't just put an extra £40 on their prices, and then boast free delivery.:heartpulsSpoiling my two baby girls with love - it's free and it's fun!:heartpuls
I'm not very good at succinct. Why say something in 10 words when 100 will do?

I see what you mean, I would be annoyed if I had to spend an extra 40 quid on compulsory delivery. Stupid H&S rubbish.
The OP did not have to pay anything. He chose to buy from there, nobody forced him.I wonder why they don't just put an extra £40 on their prices, and then boast free delivery.
Because the headline price would be £40 more, and people are stupid enough to use that as a point of comparison as opposed to the true cost.Gone ... or have I?0 -

Really!! I think I might email them and ask if I place an order in store can I pick it up from there. If they say yes then I'll complain about being told we couldn't and had to pay £37.50.If At First You Don't Succeed, Call It Version 1.0

But if its impossible to buy for less than £137.50 Then that should be the price its advertised at.“Careful. We don't want to learn from this.”0

LOL, I agree i would have been a bit annoyed if i also have to spend that much extra.Jan Wins: .0 -
This is another example of health and safety being used inappropriately to justify something. It seems today if a company doesn't want to agree to something they hide behind either the data protection act or the health and safety legislation.0

I think its case of the store trying to make the item look cheap only well you take the over cost is the true value. I think they use H&S as a excuse much like companies also do sometimes (but not always) with data protection when it suits them0

£37.50 is a bit extreme, I would have gone elsewhere.
If I had been given that excuse, I would definitely go elsewhere, biggest load of rubbish I have heard!0
