Just passing the time, after getting an email from Big Chill, a US appliance company. I 'ordered' - pretend - four retro items, in buttercup yellow: fridge, electric oven, induction hob, dishwasher. Total cost of hardware, $9677. Delivery - as if I live in the US - $1175. Not forgetting state tax $282.23. A grand total of $11,137.23. You pay more, if you don't want the appliance left on the kerb! I have many customers buying 4/5 appliances, and if they expect free delivery, which is available. So, whilst I still believe postage at the Q can be over the top, comparatively, it's peanuts. Well done the Q, putting the customer first, as per!
