Hidden costs

My flabber is ghasted. I have previously bought compost on line from a certain company. A ton of mushroom compost was good value,a ton of top soil was also good value.

So I wanted to give them my custom for some multi purpose compost and some JI No3. Prices looked good so I order and go to the checkout. Delivery cost almost £180!!!!

Phoned local garden centre-delivery cost £10
