I personally think £7.50 is extremely fair and would be willing to pay more  ;)

It is annoying when you order something of small  value and size, and the postage is more than the item itself !

I bought a mop from someone in Malvern, and the thing weighed like 3oz, and cost me £7.00 in p+p.

Never again, lesson learnt.

Before you buy, find out the postage charge.
If it is too expensive, don't buy it - go elsewhere.
It's as simple as that. If you don't like the deal, go elsewhere.
The postage charge should be relevant to the weight size of the item, so how can you ask how reasonable a postage charge is ?

You can't do that when your pole clamp is broken and you can only get it from the people who make it!

It's  a bit like a customer moaning because you charge them £20 for 20 minutes work cleaning  their poxy windows isn't it. They're so frigging ignorant you just want to batter them. I mean how narrow minded can people get?

How can you be bored?  I thought you worked 25 hours a day, never sat in laybys and earned wads of cash thanks to having  a van packed full of gizmos, heaters etc.?

I think its annoying when you get overcharged on postage. I had an issue with Ro-man about this. They charged me about £7.50 for one little connector which arrived in an ordinary envelope (OK so slightly padded) that they sell in our post office for about 25p. With an ordinary stamp on it.

I actually have never used them since. So they didn't do themself any favours.

I gave up on RO-man years ago when they never answered the phone.
