But, and it's a big but, the postage is £2.20 per net. (£4.40 for 3)

So does that mean it's £7.40 including postage for three nets?  Maths is not my strongest subject. ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::) ::)

Doesn't sound so bad if that is correct, and that's what I worked it out to, but the seller posted this........

 Q: Hi dippychick, I want to buy 4 nets, can you let me know if you will supply 6 for the price of 4? and give me the total cost including postage. Thanks Phil 18-Jun-07
A:   Hi Phil sure for every 2 you buy @ £1.50 per net you'll get a 3rd for free. So 6 nets will cost you £18.80. Sorry but the postage is too tight to discount. regards Mark

Personally I think the sellers maths is wrong, but that's what put me off.

Am I doing this right:

He says postage for 3 nets is £4.40.  Therefore 6 nets should be £8.80
Buy 2 get one free at £1.50 each makes it £1 each.  Therefore 6 nets = £6.00
£6.00 + £8.80 = £14.80

Yes????

for every 2 you buy @ £1.50 per net you'll get a 3rd for free.

So - 6 nets for the price of 4 = £6.00

However, it looks like no discount on postage, which is £2.20 x 6 = £13.20

making a grand total of £18.20

or just above £3.00 per roll

I ordered 6 (4+2) and the postage came to £8.80.  Total £14.80.

 Asbean, did you order four and automatically get the other two free?

I typed in 3, and the price AND Postage was calculated for all 3, meaning the price was 3 x 1.50, plus 3 x 2.20, which came to £11.10 for 3, so I didn't proceed.

Post by: asbean on June 18, 2007, 22:54:03

I ordered four, and put in the message box that I expected 2 free ones as per advert.

Title: Re: Garden netting
Post by: gruesome on June 18, 2007, 23:08:35

for every 2 you buy you get 1 free postage for 3 nets is £4.40 so if you want 6 nets just order 4 and you'll get 2 free plus 2 lots of £4.40 postage. Makes sense to me ........ i think  :)

Mine have arrived too. Looks good value, and quite strong compared to the nets the OH bought from Poundland a while back. No stretchinesss or going out of shape from what I have seen so far.


Oh and B****y HUGE.

Might order a few more to make a fruit cage for next year.
