    Aria insist they can't mail orders of >£50 via Royal Mail as the insurance doesn't run that high. However they manage to charge £6.95 + VAT for Citylink deliveries that other firms get for £3.99 or less. If they'd only sort out shipping I'd order more often many under £50 also incur the excessive courier charge.

    BTW that keychain LED flashlight is seriously bright! I got it for 1p on Special the day I ordered memory.

    I think you're wrong about them making a profit on the postage - they get their profit from selling you tat that doesn't work properly, then messing you about so much with returns that eventually you give up and put your losses down to experience!

    Of course that's my own personal opinion - and the reason I have stopped using them, no matter how cheap their prices appear.

    The old adage that "you get what you pay for" really does hold true.

    Just been to the website and there ARE some great bargains.
    A 512k pocket USB flash drive for £19.50

    and a 1MB for £39.95. I paid £40 for a 512k at Maplins recently!

    When checking prices, click links as i have found that the 1Mb shows £42.96 ex VAT on the 'othe products you might be intersted in', when you click the link it shows £46.94 INC VAT!

    The 2Gb version is only £93.94 inc VAT
