    Ah i thought u meant online shopping like tesco!!!!

    Well to answer your question, i use jungle.com alot, because they dont have ridiculous delivery charges.

    I bought my monitor, some software, some dvds and some periprherals.

    The prices are decent, eg you might see something £1 cheaper elswhere if you really look hard, but on my last order the delivery was about 2.50 which is grand.

    Even the monitor was only about £7, when you consider dabs and scan chage about £20 that puts it into perspective.

    example

    Goods Value £X
    VAT £X
    Carriage inc VAT £ 2.49
    Order value £X

    on an item of software, delivered via post.

    I do have a feeling i'm getting screwed by the currency exchange. I'm not saying its justified, but it is my gut feeling!

    I think a euro counts to about 60 pence english.

    But usually you still get stuff reasonabley priced, compared to what u pay in Ireland even taking that into consideration.

    I can only advise shop around.

    As for the other items balls, jerseys etc, Ive never tried to buy them, though i find amazon.co.uk have loads of stuff, and they are ok to buy from. Delivery again was reasonable.

    Xterminator, when was the last time you bought at jungle?

    The reason I'm asking is that I stopped getting stuff there when they introduced that flat delivery charge to ireland - if they've dropped that again I might go back (and just stick to dabs for the big things where paying £24 for delivery is cheap)
