Idea re: expensive ebuyer postage

in N. Ireland
Hi folks
Like many others, I've been very annoyed about UK computer company delivery prices for Northern Ireland customers, like ebuyer and therir 20 quid minimum delivery charge... Might it be an idea to group together and place orders en masse between several people, splitting the postage cost and thereby making it more reasonable? I don't actually need to order anything at the moment, the thought just occurred to me. Obviously, this would be more suitable for people based in Belfast, as items wouldn't need to be reposted. I'd be interested in hearing anyone's thoughts about this.
Thanks,
Andrew

That's fine if you can get a good price elsewhere, but some things are just so much cheaper on ebuyer than in other places, especially compared to local shops.

Scan used to be dear for delivery, and then they were reasonable, and now they are woeful again
