    @ previous, who is "we"?  Gracias mucho for confirming.  
    The member above that looked and myself. Do you need assistance in counting?

    The P&P for your actual product was £5.99 last year. So now it's cheaper than it was.

    Companies can charge whatever they want whenever they want - you choose whether or not to buy at the terms offered. Prices change often. Nothing stays constant forever. Contracts with couriers get updated. Promotions get applied. Costs rise. If you're not happy to pay the postage costs, you'll have to get your spray tan somewhere else.

    Right, that's it everybody, this forum can be closed down.  Yes, it can because......

    I'm curious where your £1.99 delivery costs come from.
    I've looked on the website at Postage & Packaging and it says:

    Ideal World UK

    Postage & Packaging costs are displayed on individual product pages and updates automatically within your basket as you continue shopping. Costs are based on the item amount before any applicable discount or deduction has been subtracted. The following is a breakdown of Ideal World Postage & Packaging costs (UK only):

    • Single item under £25.00 £4.99
    • Single item £25.00 and over £5.99
    Please note: delivery prices may vary on large and heavy items; please see individual product page for pricing.


    although there are different sections e.g. fashion & beauty.

    Fashion & Beauty

    Save money with our Multi-line Postage & Packaging offer when you buy two or more items from across our Fashion & Beauty range.

    • Single item £4.99
    • Two item £5.98
    • Three items or more £6.99

    I appreciate you are trying to warn people not to fall foul of varying delivery costs associated with this company but I think people are just trying to understand the issue on postage costs.

    I can see the product you buy has (currently) a postage charge of £3.99 but I can't work out how that fits in with Ideal World's information on delivery charges - which don't seem to mention £3.99 anywhere.

    Whenever I buy online I always check the delivery costs so I would be very confused,

    Right 

    Have you calmed down yet ?

    I was just stating what I saw.

    Maybe the delivery was reduced for x amount of time.

    Hi.  your starting to sound like me with "right" Thats what I say.

    Was calm when I wrote it and calm now.

    It started as an unremarkable post about tan and you came on and tried to split hairs.

    Can we just write stuff without folk sticking their hooter in?

    That's not how public forums work.

    It was a post about postage & packaging costs and most people were trying to understand.

    The delivery charge can be £2.99:


    or then again, it can be £3.99. It appears to depend on the item in question.
