 | Delivery costsI have a problem with one of my orders. It costs £459.95 But there is an additional cost of £5.95 for delivery. Without the cost of the delivery i would need only 23 greens but with the delivery 24 greens. I don't really want to waste a green on just £5.95 and i don't really want to buy anything else with the remainder (£14) as i would rather save that for another order Is there any way i could just pay for the delivery myself. I think this is an issue that needs looking at as i feel there can be an alternative. Anyone agree? Any remarks,comments or advice guys?

 | Why you asking us when only Freebiejeebies can answer this?

| I sent a support ticket and they said reimbursing with your own money is illegal. I would fish out something to buy for £15 - as long as it doesn't incure another delivery charge. As above we can't give you a definitive answer, your answer lies within FJs support. |

 | I asked ages ago if I could pay a little towards either something I needed or the postage (can't remember which now) and the answer was no, because that would take FJ into the pyramid scheme zone. They can't accept any form of payment for anything. Wait for FJ to say officially though, things sometimes change...

| Unfortunatley FJ can't do that since It would classify as a Ponzi pyramid scheme whicha are illegal in the UK. I'm very annoying since CoD 6 is a few over £40 and so is the hardened edition (£65) Woulda fitted in nicley with 2/3 greens. I'm just going to buy something extra or wait till the price has gone down on Amazon. |

| As others have said, we can't and don't accept payments from our customers under any circumstances. This is due to UK laws and we won't make any exceptions. Your only options are to try to find it for the same price on another site that does not charge delivery (price must include reclaimable VAT), or to choose another item to add to the order to make use of the extra referral. |

 | Sorry to go off topic but isn't this was lockerz does with their SHOP? You buy things using ptz earned for free but have to pay for shipping/excess cost. Is it because Lockerz store their items themselves.

| Is LOCKERZ UK or US thought, not sure about laws relating to pyramid schemes in US. EDIT:- Nope illegal in US as well, so I guess it does something to un-class itself.

| Just to clarify, we are not a pyramid scheme and even if we did accept payments from our customers for circumstances described in the OP or for postage, we still wouldn't be one. We simply wish to keep the divide as straight forward as possible and maintain this key difference. |
