Looking at get a shed load of second hand CD's from Zovestocks on Amazon and to my astonishment they're charging P&P per CD and not as a job lot. for the 30 plus Cd's i'm looking at getting they want nearly £40 delivery, tried emailing them but to no avail.

Anyone else had this and know a way around it?

I use them a lot, and it seems like they make their money on the postage... £0.01 for a cd, and £1.26 postage.

If you are looking at 1p CDs, then I think 40quid postage is fair enough!

i emailed them about the same, and asking where 1 cd was a while back and got this response:

Hello,

Thank you for your email.

With regard to your enquiry, after feedback from our customers we have
recently changed our despatch policy when customers order more than one item
from us and now each item is packaged and shipped as an individual parcel to
ensure that they fit through a standard letter box. This should help to

are sorry if you are experiencing a delay in receiving one of the packages,
but please be assured they have all been despatched together and the
remaining items should be with you shortly.

We would be very grateful if you could contact us if the balance of your
order does not arrive within 15 days from the date the order was placed,
however to reiterate we are confident it will arrive shortly.

Many thanks,

Customer Services

EDIT: I just had to search my gmail to find that and it was quite scary how many orders have made!!!!

I can see why thy do it. I just think if they'd advertised as £1.30 a CD with free P&P I'd feel like I wasn't getting ripped off. Oh well, no way round it so never mind.

still reckon it may be worth re sending an email to them though as if you are buying 40+ they could box this up and probably ship for a fiver?

They're also on play.com - free P&P there

I've just bought a few DVDs from them, and wasn't charged postage (they ship them all seprately too for some odd reason)

It might be free shipping but prices are more expensive on play. CD's I had on Amazon were £1.30 with P&P but they're £1.74 on Play, cheeky blighters! Why not just have a fixed price.

Zoverstocks is Music Magpie, this is what they do with all the CDs. I bought a load off them last month, about 30 CDs and they all turned up in separate huffy bags over the course of a week. Just one thing I've learnt though is they have a system in place on Amazon were they undercut the cheapest seller by 1p, something to hear in mind if you'd prefer to buy off a smaller outlet who may need the sales more.
