content: Thanks for the 10% offer!But... I looked at your website and didn't find one item where the price wasn't 'POA'. Sorry to say that if I were in the market, and particularly if I had a wodge to spend and wasn't yet sure what I was going to buy, I wouldn't waste my time phoning up for every item that might take my fancy. IME, 'POA' usually means 'so expensive we're afraid to say', or 'it will vary depending on how much we think we can talk you out of'. Perhaps if you could put some actual hard prices on there you might get more sales, particularly of the drive-by sort.

content: Can you reevaluate your shipping prices? 51 gbp for ds1054z shipped to Denmark using economy - 2gbp cheaper using the express shipping method.

content: Quote from: MarkBRR on March 19, 2015, 03:44:49 pmHi,I’ve had a chat with our shipping department this morning about the prices and it seems that sometimes Express can be cheaper than Economy – it’s all to do with the particular courier and the weight and dimensions of the item.For Europe, Express items are transported by plane, whereas Economy ones go out on a truck. Items which are small and light tend to go by Express as the couriers like to maximise the load that’s put on the plane. Small /lightweight items are useful for filling in gaps on the pallet - it’s in the couriers’ interest to fill up these smaller spaces on the pallet, which is why they make the price cheaper. The DS1054Z obviously fulfils their criteria as one of these items.The DS1054Zs have a 13 week lead time at the moment. You can buy, but we’re not expecting delivery until around 15th June unfortunately.
