    "These batteries may say they are 1p but they actually add £5 postage to each pack you buy making the batteries more expensive than in shops"

  • Congratulations, the link works correctly.
    However, and please don't take this personally as this is not the 1st thread, and won't be the last advertising this deal.
    But the crafty devils have added a delivery charge of £4.50 per Item!
    I'm afraid some of these Amazon Marketplace traders do try this on.... so be careful out there.

    Total con the post and packaging is per item not per order and makes it more expensive that the shops, unless you know differently?

    AND, I wanted to complain to Amazon for this because there are often hidden charges attached to their items but there is no where to make complaints in customer services. How convenient!

    Yeah, it's not 4.50 delivery per pack.

    I just added 500 packs to the shopping cart, and it's quoting me £122.40 including postage. at 24p a pack, delivered, that's a bargain.

    The problem being the person selling them will, i'd place money on it, cancel any orders like this. Indeed, they'll probably cancel orders for more than one pack.

    including postage:

    1 pack - £4.24
    5 packs - £5.18
    10 packs - £6.37

    So far from unreasonable, postage-wise. It's whether they'd honour orders for more than one pack...
