The suppliers website said £40 mainland delivery but when I got the quote back it was £150. Asked why and it was the old chestnut of being in the Highlands. Went back and said to them who's your courier and how much would it be to get it to their Aberdeen depot and we'd collect them from there. Got the response back that it was so and so and it would be £40 to their Aberdeen depot. I then asked can you ask them why they charge £110 extra to deliver to an address less than 1/2 mile away from them and attached a picture taken from my desk where you could see the depot as clear as day! Needless to say we got the delivery to our door for £40.]
