Saturday delivery also incurs an extra charge and there's usually another to the sender for delivery in the parts of London where there's a congestion charge. Large companies sending out dozens or even hundreds, of parcels per week, can probably dictate terms to some extent, too. You're lucky! A number of companies will simply not deliver to the Highlands of Scotland, or will charge an excessive ammount. This is now becomming apparent in one television advert for a vacuum cleaner that states that the offer is not available to the Highlands of Scotland. Come Independance, and the boot will be on the other foot!!! We are hardly a UNITED Kingdom. Phil Northern Highlands of Scotland As far as I recall we've only sent one parcel to the Highlands and that was to Inverness but we've sent quite a few to lowland Scotland. I simply can't remember whether or not we paid an excess for the Inverness one. But most couriers state that there will be an excess charge for the Highlands and Islands, so I'm not sure how we're lucky? I know that one company we were talking to in London for a customer who wanted mature trees in large quantities told us it would be £700 to deliver them, because they had to come down here and return, just for us. Alternative arrangements were made! Fuel costs are the curse of couriers and therefore their customers. -- Sacha South Devon |
