Heavy item to the Highlands - I've asked for more postage - okay?

I've just sold a heavy (5+ kg) item on ebay. It was originally collection only then I had a request for a postage option so I weighed it and worked out it would be £6.50 with a courier so included that in the listing. The buyer is not the person who asked for the quote in the first place but lives in the Highlands so a courier would be nearly £16 - item sold for £13.50 + £6.50 postage.

Royal Mail classes the Highlands as mainland Britain so would actually be cheaper at £10.34 so I've contacted the buyer and asked them to pay the extra due to their location increasing the cost - is that okay do you think or am I going to get negative feedback?

Meh :(

I think whats pissed me off is the fact that the price for international postage was already up when I bid. there was a US price and an international price.
