Delivery charges.

Please forgive me if I have a moan. I want to treat myself to a nice new plant: for me, that means spending a fiver, I'm not rich. If I can't buy locally I have to add a delivery surcharge taking my order up by between £8 and £20. But I am not, as you might think, in Western Australia, I'm in the Isle of Wight. If I stand on a hill I can see Portsmouth, it isn't very far. So it's £25 for one 9cm potted plant. Thank you. I feel a little better for a grumble.

I am on the Island as well.All the big couriers come here at no extra cost so I don't see why companies can't use them.
Royal Mail and Parcelforce are also the same cost as the mainland.

I contacted the supplier and asked the simple question why the charge was so high for the supply of 4 small plants. They said they would contact me back , but never did, so they never got the order from me
