Very childish response Johnny to a serious enquiry.Truth here is that Ive just stated what a lot of people are secretly thinking but are to polite to say,even the people who bought your book already.Im not suggesting that people should be renumerated for their work and efforts,I did think your book was slightly overpriced but that didnt bother me too much but I think your postage adds insult to injury and is clearly extravagant. Ive bought some of Darcies books and the postage was only £2 p&p so either somethings going on here or the post office is shafting you.I asked you initally for a price for Northern Ireland and Southern Ireland to see what was cheapest as I could somebody from the south to buy it for me.You only sent me a price for Southern Ireland which was £14.

Postage to Ulster is UK rate, so why would he give you the price for that? It's already stated. Postage to Eire is a pain in the arse, expensive and unreliable, and charged at the same rate as most other foreign countries when posting from the UK. £6 is about bang on for the book considering it's weight and that quite rightly JB wants it signing for to keep the scammers at bay. Postage is charged by weight ............... now ask yourself again why books by other authors are cheaper to post. Sounds much like you were trying to find the cheapest post price, fair enough, but to come on and accuse JB of ripping you with post charges is naughty, and you now look like a skint fool. It's easy enough to check postage prices, go to the Royal Mail site and check yourself. Polite? You must be joking, if lads think someone is having their pants down they soon say, so don't be cracking on everyone else is thinking Johnny is ripping them off. Am surprised there are any books left to be honest, there won't be for long. P+S, I think we had the same customer service training ........ Link to post Share on other sites

The postage to Northern Ireland is therefore £6.00...Got it so far ???? I will lower the postage cost to Southern Ireland to £12 from £14 as a good will gesture Just remember fellas its me that has to do the packing with just the help of my family...Its me that has to stand in the post office for 2 hrs a time to get them sent. That's after spending three years writing the book...Then sorting out the self publishing side of things....Oh and not forgetting i work full time too... So please stop the moaning as i ain't got the time or the inclination for it....Grow up for F---k sake. If you cant afford the book I'm sorry..But you get what you pay for so nothing foolish in that lads...When you get the book compare its size and quality to the rest of the books you have on the subject ...Not to mention the content of the book which is ....Well you tell me fellas, come on...
