Just a quick heads up for everyone, the Pendraken site will be offline for a couple of hours tonight while Matt does the updates for the price increase, so grab your last minute purchases now before they go up!

Already done Leon, as I'm afraid that Nik and anyone else that bought By Fire and Sword at the "reduced" price were. According to my calculations £35 plus 10% P&P comes to £38.50, I just bought it from the same website at the non-reduced price of £38.50 and the P&P came to, oh yeah baby, nothing, zero, ziltch. Strange that, maybe I'm just cynical but  WTF??

This appears to be the Amazon school of pricecutting. I've noticed that, when buying books from the Big A, Amazon quote a higher price with zero p & p, while the Book Depository (one of their subsidiaries) quotes a lower price, but with p & p that makes it up to Amazon's full price. Hmmmm.  :-\ :-\ :-\

I had the same thing with mole traps for the fields last year.

"SAVE, SAVE, SAVE.....Less than half price !!".....and when I investigated/started to order some (absolute bargain, I thought).....Well blow me down....Instead of paying 'nothing' for the postage..which I had apparently done previously....The p&p had rocketed to the extent that they was no true difference in price.

I'm sure someone posted that this was a way that the seller could pay less in commission to Amazon.
