    Northern Ireland Postage rates.

    Hi,

    I was about to order a graphics card and mobo from Scan but when I went to check out I was hit with a 30 quid postage cost, I'm guessing cos it's not mainland UK.

    What bothers me about this is that overclockers can deliver the same stuff to my house for 15 quid. Furthermore Royal Mail are even cheaper and i've had graphics cards from ebay cost only 7 quid or so, special delivery next working day.

    So basically, why the hell are youse lot charging so much for delivery to northern ireland?

    I've bought from Overclockers before but I'm not too keen on their service and would rather use Scan, unfortunately being hit with an extra 15-20 quid delivery charge puts me off.

The less you are, the less you express your own life, the more you have, the greater is your alienated life, the greater is the store of your estranged being." Karl Marx

    Do a search, this has been discussed before many times.

    San charge this because they are charged that by CityLink for their next day delivery. They do not, and will not use RoyalMail.
