We sincerely apologise for any inconvenience or confusion that might have arisen out of our pricing policy in the Republic of Ireland. The prices offered in mainland Britain reflect the much greater population density and lower mailing costs and we are able to pass these savings directly on to those customers. The discounts offered in the Republic of Ireland remain incredibly competitive and we are very keen that customers in the Republic of Ireland are not disadvantaged by not being offered our mail order service at all.
