Mixed the first 2 bales so decided to get more, looking around on Google

More than £10 cheaper than Elixir
I wont even mention LBS price

You're mixing your sizes:

Harrod single brick = £3.95 makes 9 ltrs
Elixir single brick" = £3.18 makes 10 ltrs

Harrod single bale = £8.95 makes 70 ltrs
Elixir don't sell single bales. Cheapest is a 3 bale pack which works
out at £6.66 a bale.

Harrods offer a 5 brick pack for £15.75. Elixir offer a 5 brick pack
for £5.48.

Or did you mean to say that Elixir are cheaper than Harrod?

Granted Harrod have a standard £4.95 postage charge while Elixir's
varies. For very small quantities, Elixir's is cheaper. For medium
amounts, Harrod's is cheaper but for bulk, when Elixir becomes free
p&p, you'd still be paying Harrod's standard charge.
