    It's only just over a pound. Just buy some perm markers or something or blank cd's?

    It's pennies...

    Just think, if you spend an extra 1.12 you are saving around £5 on postage.

    Why dont you just buy a USB stick or something? That alone will take it over the amount you need to spend and still cost less than the postage.

    Buy some blank DVDs, they're on sale this week (TO, bottom list) and I'm sure you'll find them useful sometime in the future.

    Its £20 EXCLUDING VAT

    If its 'only' £1.12, you won't mind spending it then

    Its a minimum guideline.

    Personally you should try and make every order a fair bit above £20 EXC VAT...trying to get less that £20 or 2p above it is taking the pee tbh.
    Please do not message me about Scan Free shipping, I no longer work for HEXUS.net

    I didn't mean to start this so everyone could have a go at me, it was a quick question. I didn't need flaming or trolling.

    Acksaw,


    Please note if the order is under £20 Ex Vat then its likely that either the order shall be cancellled and an email sent, if you prefer we can add the delivery charge onto the order.

    my thoughts exactly.

    But a cheap pair of gaming headphones, a spindle of DVD's, a cheap keyboard and mouse, some SATA cables, a floppy drive with a card reader in it, and get your's AND Scan's money's worth. You just KNOW that someone you know will need one or all of those things in the coming year.

    It's what I do....but a pile of stuff that someone will want soon. I've had more sub £8 headphones from Scan than I can imagine, and I only have one pair left.Ditto cheap laser mice........ and keyboards.
