hi guys, just thought to let u all know of a cheap discount place for snake and other reptile things and where the delivery is only £4.95 regardless of the size or of the amount of items that you order, no doubt some of you wouldve already heard of it but i just thought to share it with you all, the website is: www.primrose-london.co.uk. |

lol, reading is not a part of any london borough hun - check ya maps
trust me, ive lived in reading and its no way near any borough or even within the M25 (which all london boroughs are)
youll get better deals (and cheeper carriage/better advice etc) from bluelizard reptiles, also surrey pet supplies

Sorry you cannot say this, as it is not at all true or factual,
as I know a little specialist reptile shop, 8 mile down the road, to where I live that sell 10 pinkies for cheaper than your website, price of £3.50 a lot cheaper!

And I'm sorry, but you cannot say that it's not true or factual either. They may well be the cheapest around, they did not specify HOW FAR around. All the other places within 10 miles of them may be more expensive, which would make their claim of being the 'cheapest around' accurate and honest. Trading standards would agree with me. If they said the cheapest in the UK or Cheapest in the South, then maybe you could disagree their point.

Again, still depends on point of view. They could be the cheapest around, depending on how far 'around' they mean.

Well I guess they "far around" should only be about 10 miles, as there are other shops close by that are cheaper - research pays off
not to mention u have to pay p&P whereas where I live I drive there which is not far from my girlfriend house, and therefore doesnt cost me any extra in fuel or costs
so in my opinion, by far the most expensive, depending on what area I decide on

At the time of me going through all of this they have their pinkies listed at 2.25 for 10, I'm sorry to pee on your fire, but that's cheaper than your place. So if people live within 8 miles of this shop (as you do with yours) then it is cheaper.
I'm not disputing the entire postage thing, as it's cheaper for me to buy 10 pinks from my local place than it would be from there online when you factor in postage. However if I was to buy in bulk, then even with the postage price it would work out cheaper than my local place.
/edited to add: Just worked out how much cheaper they would be, my local place for my monthly costs only for frozen mice/rats is 66.40. From them INCLUDING delivery is 53.44. That's saving enough to buy a cheap bottle of blended whisky. I call that a win. |

the £3.50 is quoted for the website given, NOT for local stores close by
i said a lot cheaper than your website, 3.50, meaning the website charging 3.50 for 10 pinkies!!!

There's only 1 or 2 complete and utter twats that are like this. Some people just seem to cause arguements in seemingly every single thread aside from the ones they make. Why don't they just piss off with the attitudes and either go elsewhere or chill the feck out. |
