Noticed that HMV states free postage on all items. Before they went to Jersey, or Guernsey, or wherever, you used to be able to get 7" for £1.99 or even less. If you paid the postage on several 7" items, the price of the singles negated the postage costs. And if you bought 10 or 20 items, postage was not a factor. All 7" singles now are £2.99 with free postage. It doesn`t take a genius to work it out that 10 items would cost you £29.99, 10 items at the old price of £1.99 would cost £19.99 plus the postage which was either £3.95 or £5. The trouble is when you go to the store in your local shops you find that prices are £1.99 or even cheaper for the same item. And if you are a student you also get your 10% off.
Seems for some reason, 7" are not on the free postage list. Also, you do not get any bargain price 7" any more. I wonder why they have got it in for the 7"? :o
