    Miscalculation?

    I have this in my basket and i have calculated it up myself but there is an extra couple of quid according to the calculations on the site. What is wrong?

    I make the total order (using excel) to be - £469.20

    Their calculation is correct. You add up all the prices excluding VAT then add delivery to make a total.

    Now work out VAT on the above total.

    Add the first total and VAt together gives the answer on the site.

    As malfunction noted you must add VAT to the delivery cost.

    So total worked out as £471.25725 so £471.26

    Edit the difference between yours and the correct is the VAT on the £11.74 delivery ie £2.0445
