      Wow at those delivery charges I think I will forget it thanks, I looked at a small snack size box of crisps the 10p ones, total price was 7.61gbp which I thought was good and was ready to place the order, but wait for it 76.21gbp postage and packing a total of $132 I wouldn't mind if they were the proper packets but these are the mini snack bags 14g

      That's outrageous!! Think I'll give that a wide berth.

      I just did an experimental short list of a few goodies and they give you the choice between DHL who are hellish expensive and Royal Mail. DHL were £55 and RM were £8, that was up to 2kg. Give it another go Kate.

      It wouldnt give me the option to choose ROyal Mail when I went to the ordering screen, I filled everything out and then it only came back with DHL, I wonder if it is because it was a box of crisps and it's an awkward shape

      It may have been that it was calculated as being more than 2kg perhaps ? As soon as I went over 2kg I only had the choice of DHL.

      I have no idea how much a box of crisps weighs, but even so, can't afford it which is a shame, I will have to stick to the British Shop here.
