e-commerce physically based in UK to offer Royal mail rates and courier rates.
Homes in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland, Northern Ireland and Isle of Man are normally only offered one rate. This results in much higher costs to THESE AREAS or being refused any delivery at all. Around 69% on line dealers do not offer delivery by Royal Mail, which is the same to anywhere.
A Postcode Penalty survey found 63% of online retailers charge extra delivery for certain parts of the UK and 34% said delivery would take longer for those who live on islands. Royal Mail charges the same no matter where you are located.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We cannot accept your petition as you seem to be asking the e-commerce companies to change their postage costs rather than asking the UK Government or Parliament to take action.
