DJWa Posted April 8, 2017 Report Posted April 8, 2017 What i mean is we are even now paying a levy for goods from our neighbour that supposedly have our intrests at heart . and they would pay the same for it if they bought it from you couriors cant do it for free something the size of a basket and roughly 400 miles £13 to £17 is cheap it would cost you around £65 to get a bird up to you from southern england

It shouldn't matter if you have an AB or IV postcode. Do you think it is acceptable that the Highlands get ripped off but not acceptable in Aberdeenshire is that what you are inferring?

peter pandy Posted April 8, 2017 Report Posted April 8, 2017 I thought I would take a look at your basket purchase and to be perfectly honest the price reflected the quality of the product "cheap and nasty". One only gets what one pays for.I have a Loxley 10 bird = over 50 years old. 2 Shepherd 16 bird = over 30 years old and will never have to buy a basket again as they are still in good nick.
