With all the crazy delivery charges for up here, I would like to recommend a company that treats us the same as the rest of the UK.
Chemist Direct (http://www.chemistdirect.co.uk/) is an online Pharmacy, but sells so much more than just medicines, and at really good prices. For orders under £40 there is a charge of £3.45 regardless of size or weight or postcode. Orders over £40 are FREE, even for up here, and they usually deliver via Royal Mail, so no waiting for couriers who deliver when they feel like it.
I have used them quite a few times, and had great service, but recently I decided to put their claim of delivery regardless of size or weight to the test. I ordered a couple of smaller items plus 15kgs of dog food and 12.75kgs of parrot food. At the checkout, I waited for the usual exclusions to my postcode, but no, I still got the free delivery because my order was over £40. 3 days later my order was delivered by the postman.
So not only were they cheaper for the items I purchased, but they did give me free delivery.
What I also like about this site is the fact they have Live Help Online, where you can just go and chat to someone about a query you have, there and then, without incurring extra phone expenses or waiting for an email response.
I just thought I'd recommend this company, as I am so sick of being treated as a postcode leper.
