Which PC hardware shops offer the cheapest delivery charges in the UK? I only want a hub for about £20 so don't want to have to pay £6 - £10 delivery charge.

Thanks.

Try http://www.theoverclockingstore.co.uk/
I know they do FREE delivery on everything. ;)

Not bad but their cheapest hub is £35 so i'd still be better off buying from elsewhere and paying the postage :(

I'll keep looking....

I guess that is why and how they can afford to offer FREE delivery m8. :(

try www.dabs.com their delivery charges increase as the value of the product increases so a small hub should be quite cheap

But with dabs dont you pay a small item 'handling fee' ?? I found maplin.co.uk but their choice of hubs is fairly poor.

I've just been looking at the dabs website and it seems they have changed their delivery prices as follows:

£1.50: Orders £25 or less (excluding VAT)

£3.00: Orders between £25.01 and £100.00 (excluding VAT)

£4.00: Orders between £100.01 and £500.00 (excluding VAT)

£6.00: Orders £500.01 or more

I know this is useless for a hub but just to let you know www.play.com does free delivery on everything and their prices are ,ore than resonable.Sorry I can`t be of any more help though.

I was after an ethernet hub not USB but thanks anyway. Wandered down to maplin and got a 5 port hub, 2 network cards and two bits of cat5 cable all for £20 (reduced from £50).

Bargain or what?? :D
