As I posted some time ago, I'm thoroughly confused about 'real' wood flooring. Prices in the sheds and local showrooms seem to vary wildly for what looks to be the same thing. So I thought I'd use Ebay.
Now if a particular flooring had a BIN of, say, 29.99 a square metre, that's what you'd expect to pay? Via PayPal, obviously.
But no. That price is for cash pound notes handed over to the delivery driver. Credit cards have a surcharge, as does a debit card. PayPal not accepted. Delivery charge excessive too. And they sell it by the box, not square metre.
Would you hand over cash to a delivery driver bringing you goods from a firm you didn't know - and with no chance of examining it all for damage?
So what I thought was going to cost approx 900 quid turns out to be nearer
1100 delivered and paid for by credit card.
