    May I PLEASE have a little rant???


    While I do understand that any website can charge whatever they wish for shipping, this website is a .ie website with an Irish contact number.

    I was ordering a set of wall decals (stickers!) for my daughters bedroom, the 3 packs come to a grand total of 26.94, and with shipping, its 80.24 (58.70 for shipping 3 packets of STICKERS!!!!). I phoned them on their Irish phone number, got a lady in England who explained that shipping is done from the Netherlands. On their shipping information, the most expensive is 27.90 for framed pictures!

    Like I said, I know they can charge what they want, but its EXTREMELY misleading and frustating, even the fact that their shipping costs are incorrect!!

    Thank GOD I didnt just proceed to checkout via paypal without noticing.

    Im off now to buy local, rant over, thanks for listening! GGRRRRRR

    Try this crowd: http://www.decowall.co.uk/

    I've bought from them before and their shipping prices are very reasonable!

    This really bugs me as well. The worst offender is Amazon. While they have websites for every other European language displayed euro pricing they don't have it on their English website (because it is a redirect to their UK website where all prices are in GBP). I contacted them about it and they said they have a currency converter on their English site but that doesn't really tell me exactly how much it will cost because they still deduct the amount in in sterling and that gets converted at my own credit card company's exchange rate, not the coversion rate. If every other website including Play.com can display euro prices on their English site it is such a massive fail that Amazon cannot.

    Why not just buy stuff from one of the non UK amazon sites.

    I order stuff from .de .fr and .co.uk all the time using the same account.

    If it makes you feel any better amazon.nl also redirects to amazon.co.uk also.
