Don't know about the UK, Dinkar, as I haven't done business with them, but I
have had that experience with a seller or two right HERE in the U.S. of A.
Some (most, in fact) are honest, and are very close to actual shipping costs.
Others seem to want to sneak in an extra dollar or two for themselves.....
My standard advice: ASK LOTS OF QUESTIONS! And read those ads as if you were
the buyer's attorney!
