    Isle of Man shipping

    I asked this about 2 years ago and was told there were no plans to change things at that time, however, I was wondering:-

    Is there likely to be any agreement between scan and their carriers to reduce shipping costs to the Isle of Man? The cost of P/P makes buying scan prohibative for almost all of my purchases... Which makes me cry as I would far rather deal with scan than anyone else. Plus you are missing out on all my impulsive today only buys! Every time I dump something random in the basket and then find that the £16+ minimum shipping charge suddenly makes it less good value I can vouch for this being true for a number of people on the Island also. So, any chance?

    You could arrange your own courier to pickup, if its cheaper.
    Alternatively you could get together and make one order between you and share the p&p.

    Have you signed up for the Hexus free carriage offer?

    If you haven't, they discount standard carriage (£6.99) off the order for you, regardless of where you are based.

    You need to be an active member of the Hexus forums to qualify though

    ! I did not know this is the case. That may in some cases make a reasonable difference. Thx
