It seems that this was not the best place to ask for help. I am a newbie and it looks like Amy has a lot of friends around here.
I'll take that as a lesson.
Thanks again.
Not sure why you would jump to that conclusion, I'm also from the UK. You could just as easily benefit from the change in currency. In fact a dollar refund now would give you a profit compared the value of the Euro in November. Either way - if you're buying batteries again in USD then there's no real difference.I'm pretty sure the majority think everyone resides in the US on this forum, I have also lost money on orders with refunds, our currency isn't USD believe it or not worldwide, but we have to pay in USD at the time of purchase and this is calculated against local currency exchange rate at the time. My refund was processed six weeks later for the exact same amount in USD but due to a poor rate from USD/GBP at the time i received £150 less than I paid out. As for the OP's original post, like everyone here, when you place an order they ask for your address to calculate a shipping cost with the shipper.
She has friends for a reason - coming back to you after 2 weeks with an apology for getting the shipping cost wrong is nothing compared to what you will get from some sellers. You'll be best off buying from a "reputable" seller in Europe I think.It seems that this was not the best place to ask for help. I am a newbie and it looks like Amy has a lot of friends around here.

I agree, you could get more back but in my case and it would seem with the other guy's it hasn't panned out like that.Not sure why you would jump to that conclusion, I'm also from the UK.

everyone that lives on an island knows that shipping is VERY expensive...and in many cases shippers will not deliver to that address.Thank you all for the answers.
But I paid for shipping to an island.If she told me she didn't ship to an island I wouldn't have placed the order. If I cancel the order now I will lose money because of someone else's mistake.
you knew full well that direct shipping to the islands is next to impossible when you made the order...Thank you all for the answers.

I think thats the main point and why people are jumping on him. Living on an island, these situations are the norm and not rare and he is making it out like Amy did something wrong.you knew full well that direct shipping to the islands is next to impossible when you made the order...
same goes for canary islands...
either use forwarder in malaga or gibraltar or cancel
