are you sure it's free?? what does sold at live weight mean?? I wanna get some but scared they will charge me.

I tried ordering 5 of these. When I got to the checkout I got this message:



Std Delivery charges £6.95, orders over £100 delivery Free [font=Verdana, Arial]Goods ordered Value = £0.00[/font][font=Verdana, Arial]Delivery Charge = £6.95[/font]

The minimum order is £ 0.10




So you can't order just the lobsters. You have to order something else that costs at least 10p. Having said that, still maybe a good deal if you're having a dinner party.

Looks like you are killing the local economy, by getting these for free (if its a mis-pricing). If it was Tesco, ASDA or any other big chain I wouldn't think twise though....

just a thought (I know, posted something about a free projector earlier, but been adviced that the company is rather good, so I thought again... mmmh - morals kicking in I guess!)

I've used Martins before and they are a small co operative. I seem to remember that I didn't get a price until after they had weighed the lobsters for me, although it was last year so I may be remembering wrongly.

you are right, soolin. That is what selling by live weight means - they catch the lobsters, weigh them and then charge you according to the weight. I've bought from them too and that is exactly what happens.

These lobsters aren't free!
