Who has had the most unreasonable postal charge?

[Tragedies]

I bid Hollister, £20 to send a single shirt.

Bloody hell, does it get chauffer driven to your door?

£12 for express delivery of a pair of football socks and shorts. And Nike the fuckers can't even guarantee they'll arrive in time.

Look on the bright side at least you don't have to go to the dark place. £20 well spent!

Wow. Im guessing it wasnt international postage or anything? Even to send to australia it would have been cheaper.

I sent my Sil who lives in Oz a pair of boots. Cost £16 and took 4 days.

I thought standard delivery at Hollister was £10 and next day was £20 for UK?

It cost me £40 for Ikea to deliver a sofa years ago.

Do you live in the Highlands and Islands OP?

They have very high postal charges for deliveries

No, Salmon I live in a large city!

How do they justify this exactly?

And (cos I'm nosy like) how much was the actual shirt?

I thought this said "post natal discharge" upon first glance Nope, only standard £3.95's here!

Zara Home is £14.99 UK standard postage under £150!

I was going to say Zara home too. They wanted £19.99 to deliver a duvet set last year

Also, an eBay seller wanted £14.99 to deliver a cow onesie that only cost a tenner in the first place

£50 for Fuckwit Village to deliver a table. I ended up driving there to pick it up.

Also shipped a particular pair of flip flops from America for DH when we first got together. The postman arrived on his doorstep with them and a £27 customs charge thus making them the most expensive flip flops in the history of the world ever.

It's a big fat con. They are making even more money off you, calling it 'postage'.

Oh, and I forgot the £175 to deliver a playhouse for DD2 from some online garden shed company

I could've hire a van, bought fuel and collected it myself for about £60.

I bought a $10 Christmas decoration to send to my sister. It was a polystyrene bauble about 4 inches in diameter, wrapped in red wool and with white buttons on it. It weighed practically nothing. I wanted to send it early November. Canada Post couldn't guarantee that the $7 it would cost by regular mail would get it to the UK.

The next best option? $70!!

I paid $7. It took a week.

Freddie - you've just reminded me of when we were quoted somewhere in the region of £175 to have a shed delivered, and that didn't even include putting it up.

No, this didn't include putting it up either.

And there was an additional charge for a floor

£18 for next day delivery from Arriva Trains my own fault though

I participated in a secret santa on another forum, my Australian secret santa had to pay aus$18 postage on a gift the size of my palm. I was

I posted a parcel of Christmas gifts to my parents in continental Europe yesterday. Came out feeling like I'd been mugged, £36.85 lighter. I've sent myself abroad for less! I wonder if you can book parcels a seat on Ryanair...
