What's going on? before I added the monitor it was £15 for delivery, but now that I've added the monitor it went up to £54.45! Have I missed something or is this just plain crazy?

csmager · 11 Apr 2006 at 18:48

It's big and heavy?

Explicit · 11 Apr 2006 at 18:49

Are you having that delivered to a cave or the mainland?

eatmuchpie · 11 Apr 2006 at 18:51

But I had another monitor in the basket before (the Hyundai ImageQuest N91S 19" LCD Monitor for £165 + vat (the same price)) and the price of shipping was only £15.

EDIT: It's to mainland UK. I even tried using a different browser to check if it was some messed up cookies.

KizZ · 11 Apr 2006 at 18:54

Maybe you should call the shop?

bbreezeuk · 11 Apr 2006 at 18:55

tell em to shove it and buy from someone else, thats a rip off imo

Solouko · 11 Apr 2006 at 18:58

wow... that's a bit.... wow...

but to be hinist... if something is big and heavy and will need a whole van to deliver it, anyone would have to put their delivery prices up o_O you could just do it in 2 orders.. remove one this at a time untill you get it back down to £15 then order the other thingseperatly

then you'll only pay about £25~£30 delivery, it'll save you some money...

but you could always order what you wanted from somone else... but only OCUK do the really good stuff, i know i've looked arround, and after hours of fruitlessly serching for somone cheeper i've turned into an OCUK fanboy

Zefan · 11 Apr 2006 at 19:00

This'll be closed in a minute as shop stuff isn't meant to be discussed. Try sending a webnote and see what they say.

exacly

eatmuchpie · 11 Apr 2006 at 19:08

Now this is truly bizarre. I removed the Samsung SM-913N 19" LCD Monitor and the shipping returned to £15. I then added a different monitor (the Hyundai ImageQuest N91S 19" LCD Monitor for £165 + vat (the same price)) and the shipping was still £15. I then added 3 more of this monitor to the basket, and the shipping was still £15! So it can't be that it is taking up too much space.

Any ideas? Anyone else tried this to confirm?

EDIT: OK, I'll just send a webnote instead.

Beans on toast Dave · 11 Apr 2006 at 19:10

maybe it has to be shipped from somewhere else?

Vegeta · 11 Apr 2006 at 19:11

OcUK shipping is a bit rubbish like, want to order one thing it'll set you back £8 at least so thats why I buy things when once at a time from other places, but thats ridiculous.

Werewolf · 11 Apr 2006 at 19:40

Where are you based/getting it shipped to?

I've just tried with the case/cpu/monitor and it only comes to £12

bbreezeuk · 11 Apr 2006 at 19:59

he said UK mainland so it shouldnt make a difference

Jokester · 11 Apr 2006 at 20:06

Are you sure you haven't mouse wheeled one of the options by mistake?

I'm always doing that.

kinggost · 11 Apr 2006 at 22:11

Traducer · 11 Apr 2006 at 23:00

Check where you have asked for that to be delivered to lol.

eatmuchpie · 11 Apr 2006 at 23:13

I am certain that I have entered the details correctly. Definately to mainland UK. I have tried it on 3 different browsers (to see if it is a cookie problem):
