Impressive!<br /><br />They confirmed my understanding, which is that the 71p is the entire price you should have to pay. No shipping cost, nothing extra. The agent I spoke to followed up with an email:<br /><br /><i>Hi Stephen,<br /><br />As per our earlier conversation, I would recommend the customer call us with the order number, so we can investigate this further.<br /><br />We can be contacted by Freephone directly by clicking the Contact Us option in the right-hand column of our Kindle Support pages at:<br /><br />http://www.amazon.co.uk/kindlesupport<br /><br />When you visit our website and select Contact Us, click on the "Phone" tab, enter your number, and we’ll call you right back.</i>Stephen Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05280419153030490653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249939222074893010.post-68618098985195277012011-02-07T16:41:15.570+00:002011-02-07T16:41:15.570+00:00I'm still trying to find out what that 'sh...I'm still trying to find out what that 'shipping charge' is all about, as the product page clearly states that the price includes VAT and whispernet delivery.

My plan was to release THE BOX as a free download but Amazon have removed that option. I dithered for a while and then added a second story to make it more worthwhile... I'll check the settings in case something needs to be altered or unticked.Stephen Gallagherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05280419153030490653noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1249939222074893010.post-16757124590607781812011-02-01T20:54:33.129+00:002011-02-01T20:54:33.129+00:0071p in the UK seems like a bargain, until the some...71p in the UK seems like a bargain, until the somewhat unlikely 'shipping charge' of £3.99 appears. I am scratching my head at that one. I hope the publication flies, though. This is the sort of book and price (excluding that shipping rip off) that would entice me into considering getting a Kindle.Silver Moss Jewelleryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01052033740968557885noreply@blogger.com
