Dandys delivered compost
« on: April 19, 2009, 16:30 »
Am I reading this correctly that one bag sealed of 75ltrs multi purpos compost costs £57.00, that is the smae 75ltres that costs approx £3.99 in thegarden centres.  I must be reading it wrong.

I put in postcode PO

This I assume is for the retailer to buy.

If you increase the quantity by one each time to total goes up by either 4 or 5 pounds. It appears that there is a standard delivery charge of £52 no matter what the quantity.

200 costs £1416 - £7.08 each - still dearer than the garden centre, but cheaper than £57!
Did it really tell you to do THAT on the packet?

Didn't think it was for the retailer but you could be right would explain the cost.  As if they get hundreds in they may eventually make a profit.
