post box cest moi.thumbnail Postal Strike over

The Postal Strike is over and boy are we glad!

To make sure all our customers received their goods on time from www.polo-shirts.co.uk  we used a courier delivery service for all orders during the disruption. Now the strike is over we will be going back to our normal service of sending packages under 1 kilo by royal mail.

Q. There is a postal surcharge for delivering to my address (PA24 xxx). I live in mainland Argyll just 50 minutes drive from Glasgow Airport. Why am I charged £10 for delivery?

A. Our courier company charges us extra for crossing a body of water. So if you live in the Scilly Isles, Isle of Wight, Isle of Man etc…we are charged over 3 times as much to send you your clothes.

At present our system charges you based on the first two letters of your postcode.

We do understand that people who live, for example, in the Paisley (PA) postcode area are on the UK mainland but other parts of the PA postcode are such as Islay & Jura.

If you do live in one of our flagged postcodes we send your goods by Royal Mail. Royal Mail can charge up to £14 for a 20 kilo parcel. We only charge £10 regardless of how many garments you buy and regardless of the weight of the goods.

We hoping to improve our postal code recognition system very shortly so that if you do live on the mainland you will only be charged our standard postage rate of £5.00.
