From: John on 21 Sep 2009 13:49 Looking on Amazon for Canon ink for my iP4500, I usually pay �47 for the set of five. I spotted a company called Memory Megastore selling genuine Canon very cheap, so I filled my basket with two of each, came to �60, saving �34, nice, that is until I spotted the delivery charge, wait for it, �40. Say no more. John

Say no more. There really should be some law against that sort of thing. Postage/delivery/shipping, whatever they call it, should *always* be at no more than cost. I mean, what sort of business are these people in? If they don't make money on their product then they don't have a business! Justin. -- Justin C, by the sea.

I'd say it's a good way to spot a firm you really don't want to do business with because it's evidence that they're basically a bunch of lying weasels.

Yes, absolutely, and it happens far too often for my liking. -- Andy Hewitt <http://web.me.com/andrewhewitt1/> |
