I can't decide if postage prices have gone up or if I am just getting meaner! So is it my imagination?
For me it's always been a case of looking at the overall cost of items including P&P as I return little. Therefore perhaps it's just because there are less bargain buys around that I'm noticing the P&P more but so many of them seem to be around the £5 now and I just don't remember that?
Considering the size of QVC they are profiteering big time on this. Forget what we pay as individuals at the post office - I have a courier contract and there are significant savings buying in bulk. QVC's must be very low both courier and Royal Mail. They also have economy of scale savings on the rest of their packaging costs ie boxes and staff costs.
