Actually prices shown and not ring for latest prices and knocking a pound or a penny off imo is not a bargain in a sale if the item is costing over £50. Also don’t do what chain Reaction does and show a nice reasonable price then when you click on it it’s either for some weird component size or xxxl/xxxs size and the rest is normal price.

I had to buy this ‘specialist’ product from this shop as I couldn’t find it elsewhere

Snigger 🙂

MF – they do that sometimes if they have to get them in from different places with different costs. Amazon do it a lot because a lot of (most of?) the stuff they sell is not actually sold by them but by other retailers who go through Amazon.

Although if it were me running the shop I’d charge a flat rate and my costs would average out over time – saves annoying the customer that way.

It was just a wine-making kit actually, but I thought I’d tease 🙂

But yes – I agree there may be reasons for it, but it was the whole experience that was poor and they should be making it easy for purchases to be made, not putting people off. If I wasn’t buying it as a present or had I been able to find that particular kit elsewhere, I wouldn’t have bought it from there.
