great news avalonian!
also amazing because my maths is pretty bad but it looked like you were really over charged! hope you hardly had to pay anything at all!
The original charge was more than the cost of the deck and the shipping added together. They charged me £67.46 and it should have been £7.95. They sent a three page letter waffling on about what Vat is paid on, how it's also due on shipping, and on second hand goods, how the handling charge is still due, but didn't manage to explain how they managed to over charge by such a huge amount.
No sign of an apology for any inconvenience either, but I wasn't really expecting one - they are a government department after all.
