daveh Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 [mod]The two threads - "Free deliveries to Shetland?" to "Companies who deliver to Shetland & Courier Agents" have been merged at this point on 14/03/2009.[/mod] Could Shetlink members perhaps post to this thread details of companies who do not charge for deliveries to the islands? Also, perhaps, state what sort of products they deal in.I have already noted the names John Lewis and ebuyer.com but thought it might be worthwhile to have such a source of information available in one place. Apologies if such a list has been compiled in the past but, when I move to Shetland in early April, it would be of much assistance to me. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JustMe Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 I have just looked at e-buyer and they charge a massive £12.99 + 36p a kilo for deliveries to Shetland which counts as Scottish offshore which is why they did not get my order which went to Amazon despite the product being £6 dearer from Amazon. Already said this elsewhere but a warning about people who ship from the Channel Islands as Play.com do. Imports over £18 can leave you as the buyer and therefore the importer liable to both vat and customs duty. Something to be aware of before placing a big order.

shetlandcars Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Ebuyer does quote extra shipping to scottish island on their website, however as long as you're not ordering a massive item and you pick 3 day delivery it is at no extra charge, although it isn't free as a test I tried to order a 17"tft and it didnt charge extra - however a 37" plasma they wouldnt ship to anything other than mainland. So small electrical items seem ok for the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VR665 Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Made several orders with eBuyer over last few weeks, from monitor to small parts, leads etc. Selected 5 day super saver (free) and it automatically changes to 3 day and charges approx. £6, always arrives on time thanks to City Link.

Spinner72 Posted March 26, 2008 Report Share Posted March 26, 2008 I buy almost all my "goodies" from Bigpockets now, and have done for some time. They charge no extra for delivery here, are lighning fast (Citylink-WDA) and they always have a stock of Free Delivery items, so if you add one of them to your order, delivery is free, even if the free delivery item is a £5.99 set of speakers you can sell for a tenner on Ebay. (some amazing bargains on there too just now, check out the Bag o Crap ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
