Sorry just on here to vent, am sooooo annoyed. DD1 birthday in in Oct and she said she would like High school musical theme. So duely sat down at the computer and searched various sites, logged on to Party Pieces and noticed they had a good selection, so ordered the cake kit, plates, party bags, party pressies etc. When I got to the check out they were going to charge £12 for postage to BFPO, normal UK postage was only £4.

Is it just me or is this ridiculous!!! I know they have extra paperwork to fill in but treble the price!!
Then what really annoyed me is that I realised the company is owned by Kate Middletons mum and dad! With everything that is being done to help soldiers and forces family you would think the Middletons would know better!!!
I wrote them an email, however I'm not sure how much sense it made was so enraged and was trying to juggle dinner and my 1 year old twins as well!!

Hahhaah I'd never buy anything from them based just on the belief that KM needs a frigging job rather than flitting from leaching off her parents to leaching off the tax payer! Grin

Amazon UK is your friend and has HSM party bags - and as long as you spend over £5 does not charge to deliver BFPO.

Since moving to a BFPO address 4 years ago there is not much I don't get via Amazon!

I managed to get round the BFPO charge by putting in the postcode for Runslip, ha ha!!!
