That's because you've 'carted' it with only 1 item!  ..... If you order more items from Restormate it's still the same delivery charge.  Their a B2B supplier so like most others, they're not really intending single items, couple o'quid purchases I guess.

What I would say is that they are lightening fast - noone is quicker in my experience. They use Fastway. I am about 25 miles from Restormate's premises and I placed an order for some Catalyst at 8.30pm on Tuesday night; it arrived at 2pm the next day!

Insecticide cannot be sent through Royal Mail so it has to be sent via a Courier.  In the majority of cases it actually costs us more than £7.50 to send a parcel so, if someone only ordered 1 x 1L of Insecticide and paid for delivery but lived in an 'outlying' area (and believe it or not that includes all of Wales and most of Scotland with our current Couriers!) our gross profit would be less than £1!  Obviously if you have a local supplier you won't incur carriage charges.

Where in this thread have I said I was wanting to buy the product? I only commented that a product was dearer to send than Buy!  Some people jump in too quick with big the roll of the eyes button before reading the whole thread.

Well I'm not speaking for others, but I never for a minute thought you were interested in buying the product.  Just felt you were having a bit of a pointless moan at Restormate. Every supplier I know will charge a standard shipping fee, so getting a single item is never a feasible thing to be doing.  Just didn't feel it warranted the BAD karma you were giving the guys up there, who most people would agree give a cracking service.

What are you getting at? Now I'm bad mouthing Restormate can you point that bit out to me. John replied in the thread and i have not bad mouthed him nor his company. I did however reply to Colin Days post about the eye rolling which I'm sure Colin would take as banter.

People use this forum to discuss issues about products ,suppliers,pricing. If you are going to take offence to a comment about a shipping price then maybe this is the wrong forum for you. Get a grip!
