I wanted to order a new Peak Design Leash, the new version. I found that Camera World had them in stock at £34.95 plus P&P. I put in my postcode, was told I was a special delivery Highlands and Islands, told it would be 3-4 days not next day, and £14.99 to deliver.
I cancelled the order and sent them an email to tell them what I thought of this excessive charge. As usual they blamed their courier DPD. Which, as I pointed out to them was odd, since DPD delivered to me last week for £4.99...they had no answer to that.
I ended up ordering it from FotoSense with £3.99 Royal Mail first class delivery, or free postage if I was happy to wait 3-5 days. I should also point out that Park Camera's would have delivered it without any additional location related charges but won't have them in stock until Thursday and I wanted it before then if possible.
