    A local timber merchant near me has a sale on at the moment, a good time to buy, but not at those delivery prices, a website error no doubt.

      The VAT doesn't add up either. The total including VAT should have been £98.64.

      If they gave a £6.85 discount for bulk then the totals are correct. I think they want you to collect the goods so put a ridiculous delivery charge on it.
