IDEAL WORLD (a shopping channel)

Options
Hi,

Just to make you aware of this.  I buy ZCHUZH, the tan accelarator from here.  Watch this shopping channel like a hawk.  The postage was £1.99, I don't mind that.  Then next minute the postage is £3.99.  I am not aware of HERMES doubling their charges, so the shopping channel want's watching.

    I positively discourage Mrs O from watching such channels
    I don't care about your first world problems; I have enough of my own!

    Their P&P charges can vary almost from day to day - inc sometimes when it is free and sometimes when it is capped for the day.

    Because it is handy to have it delivered I use their compost -  the price of this moves around a bit as does the P&P on it  -  I have always found it cheapest to buy when the P&P is free even if the item is a couple of quid more expensive at the time

    I dont see where posrage is £1.99 nor £3.99, I see £2.99 mentioned and its the same price all the way to the checkout.

    @ previous, no sorry the postage is £3.99.  What is it with this forum, where we can't walk the length of ourself without some busybody trying to correct you.

    Well if they say they see it at £2.99 - then that's what they see it at. They aren't a busybody correcting you - they are telling you what they see. The usual response might be 'Oh how do you see that?' or 'Where's that - can I take a look'? Not everyone is out to prove everyone wrong. Get off your high horse for a bit and see that people have gone out of their way to have a look since you were making a complaint - and couldn't find what you were claiming. Use the forum as a discussion tool and you'll learn lots of new stuff - shout everyone down for making a comment - and you won't be making any friends.

    Hello?  Why are you speaking for another member?  I don't know how to post pictures of product, but the one I was speaking about was the home and away one.  It is £3.99 postage.  A few days ago is was half that.  I was just posting a warning.

    You sound the friendly type. You didn't specify an exact product - you gave a channel - a name - and a cost. We looked. That's what we saw. Again you could have said 'Oh what size was that? I can see that you're right the single bottle is £2.99 but I was meaning the home and away one', and the discussion could have gone on.

    But I suppose you don't see that. You just seem to want to attack everyone and everything.
