Has anyone noticed on the web site that the price of an item changes if you change the country your in, I'm working in Nigeria and it said that I was in Kenya, it gave the price in British Pounds with 15% discount and £9.99 delivery, I changed it to the UK and the discount went to 5% and free delivery, are they allowed to do this ?

    Of course they can........they can ask what they heck they want, up to you whether you want it or not! The UK is all offered at 'free delivery' (so it's baked into the time price, nothing is free), so they can offer a different price if then charging for delivery.

    Well isn't it pretty obvious they can structure the pricing how they want for two totally different markets, why worry about it, get on with stuff that means something.

    I believe this infringes your human rights, I think the best course of action is to go protest about it.

    Or you could try actually reading the first post in the thread, radical idea I know!

    Or you could recognise humour...? Equally as radical concept I guess. :roll:

    Because, CRC are never going to be based in a West African country, are they...?

    You see I thought it may be humour, but I looked and I looked and I just couldn't find any.....maybe someone else took it before I read it?

    Or it could by the virus I have has stolen my sense of humour along with my sense of balance (and possibly sense of perspective!)
