I buy loadsastuff from Amazon....

I find the shipping charges on larger items to be most reasonable.

In fact, in my experience it is cheaper to get a larger item (shipped from Germany) than a book or CD shipped from Amazon in the UK.

Buckingham Stock Pot with Stainless Steel Lid 26 cm, 11.8 L

Sold by: Amazon EU S.a.r.L. £19.14


Item(s) Subtotal: £19.14
Postage & Packing: £2.22

It came in a huge great box!

How long ago was this ? Have you ordered something from Amazon recently ? Because the item from the link above says, when I added it to my cart:

We're sorry. This item can't be shipped to your selected destination. You may either change the shipping address or delete the item from your order by changing its quantity to 0 and clicking the update button below


I also looked on Amazon.de out of curiosity, could not find anything other than the half that pot:
http://www.amazon.de/Buckingham-Tiefe-K ... UTF8&psc=1

Same story, the item cannot be shipped to my current location, only in German instead of English :) How do you manage to order ? :?:

P.S. Found another pot that was sold by Amazon.de instead of other sellers, this one, http://www.amazon.de/Fissler-Stielkasse ... B0002TSDNU , added that to my cart to test it and the "Verpackung & Versand" (Postage and packaging came to: EUR 12,26. It's a total mistery how you ordered yours, much bigger item with less than 3 quid postage :o

That was the link in my order history....

But when I bought it (I collected it from the post office on Tuesday), it was delivered by Amazon.co.uk (and as you can see was £5 more expensive).

So I guess in reality Amazon added £5 then charged me £2 postage. Overall it is still a bargain...

I have discovered that you need to search the Amazon listings carefully - sometimes you can find the same item at widely different prices...

To describe the country as stupid is itself Stupid. It is not due to any thing on the part of Cyprus, let alone Stupidity, that we pay high shipping costs.

Sign anyway.

When ELAM takes control, people like you will be arrested. If you want to go to the 'trnc', go there and don't come back. :wink:

Nobody could be more greedy than the one who would buy stolen goods and property taken from refugees just because it is cheaper. You are the lowest of the low.

Yes, there is nothing worst than cheap people like yourself. You would sell your mother to save a euro.
