What you needing as you could get it sent to Emma's in Dundee and pick it up from my house up north if that helps you .
I think some companies are now dropping the charges but  others not .we're close enough to the oil capital of Europe for this not to happen .
Drives me mad too I try to get from a company that don't add extra charges .

Well i do too but i missed it on this one the the exclusions didn't say highlands but i missed a tiny wright up in the corner off the add  :doh:.
Ive found most companies have done away with it now or changed to couriers that dont charge extra but there are plenty that still do !
i mean they dont charge extra to go to landsend and the roads are terrible there  :confused1:

Emma used to live in in an many years ago but had a paisley postcode so was ok getting things posted.
I think both the UK and Scottish governments are looking into this problem but who knows if they can do anything about it .
So annoying.
:furious:

I wonder if it's due to the drivers of the delivery vehicles having to be extra alert because of the wild haggis's and Stornaway black puddings roaming about on the roads
