Wise move George.
42p is peanuts even if there is a couple of quid for carriage.
As a slight aside, please may I stir things up?
It is Christmas after all.
(NOTE: I am NOT talking about George here)
Why oh why do so many people moan and whinge about a few quid for carriage?
I know some places are expensive, so I put those ridiculous ones to one side.
But most charge 4 or 5 quid delivery (usually free over X pounds/dollars/goats whatever).
Whats the problem?
You have to pay some bloke to hunt down your products from a bin in a warehouse.
Someone has to confirm that the item has been packed and enter it into the stock database.
Someone else has to pretend to check it and then stick it in a packet.
In many cases it goes by a next-day Carrier and has to be signed for.
Or, often in UK, by recorded delivery (signed for) which will cost a quid plus the price of a Jiffy bag.
Suppliers are not charities.
And, in many cases, if the product is a bit sicky, they will replace it FOC with FREE carriage.
Examples: Rapid, RS Components, Farnell and CPC and probably dozens of others.
And I guess these same people wonder why Microchip (and others) have mostly stopped FREE samples to the General Public.
At this time of year, it beggars belief that Scrooge is alive and kicking....
PS. I don't hear anyone moaning about Amazon 'partners' who advertise stupidly cheap headline prices then charge stupid amounts per item and not per order....
now that's a rip off!
PPS. Notice I have whinged about Amazon and not Ebay for a change.
Happy Christmas to tout le monde in Toutes le Monde. (Apologies for pidgin)
