Just bought some Rabbit Skin Glue over the internet. Arrived this morning and the invoice states £4.15 for Packaging.
Sheeesh! thats a lot for dumping a 1kg into a small cardboard box.

I see,so the fact that my only local Art shop did not have any in stock and only sold 250kg packs when they do have it in stock... I shouldn't buy it online?

Or he could have sewn the rabbit skins together instead of glueing them.

Not the packaging,just says the total price less vat so that amounts to £11.48 plus P&P of £1.50. Can I hit them with this for not displaying packaging price?

You could have telephoned Tiranti and aked about all their charges. Or waited for stock to go into your Art shop - or find another - or ask for a special order ... of course you might have had to pay more for smaller quanitites or special orders ...

HAHA! Silly Owain!
Seriously, I could have done him a deal on rabbit skins so that he could have made his own glue.

Presumably you agreed beforehand to the total price for the items, the cardboard box/stuffing, the labelling and the carriage?
Try it.

Do you have any idea how much it costs to send 1kg by post? And once it goes over 1Kg which no doubt your package was it gets rediculous.
Perhaps it was a misguided tax fiddle. As long as you only paid the amount you knew and agreed to pay who cares if they gave it to you FREE and charged you £12.98 postage
Of course if they over-charged you then give them a call and I'm sure they'll refund the difference.
£4.15 is a very reasonable and fair price for 1Kg.- Vote on answer

which specifies the £1.50 packing charge and the applicable delivery charge.

Well, red is their corporate colour.
1kg is =A33.08. There seems to be an anomoly between 1.001 and 1.25kg (=A34.30) but after that's it's 70p/250g up to 2kg. Then =A31.82 for an additional 2kg (taking us to 4kg). After that it's =A32.80/2kg extra, still a lower rate/kg that the first kg.MBQ

Fairly standard practice. Especially from Ebay. People can't add these days so think they're getting a bargain.

Yes, lots less than a gallon of fuel, say 40 miles worth. Where I live it's 50 miles round trip to the nearest, well, anything much. I happily pay =C2=A34.15 not to get the car out.
