Spend a few quid more and get free postage ?
few quid more? you mean £20 more, no thanks i don't need!
nearly £10 postage for 2 hose barb, what a joke!
No Joke - just a sad fact of postal life.
These are heavy expensive items that need to be sent out via insured courier - which is £7.95 (+VAT).
If you would rather pay less and have them sent out via non-guaranteed and non-insured royal mail then this can be arranged if you call the office - it will still be about £4.00 (+VAT) though for Royal Mail with the size and weight of these parts.
As far as I know nowhere else sells these items.
