I priced 13A plugs for a poster a few days ago and they were charging prices like £11.
I seriously think it is a typo on their website. Especially as they had one plug for 0.87p

 

[plugwash]

I notice that in the case of both backboxes and the 13A plugs, the overpriced products "Delivered by our approved supplier" aka "dropshipped" while the reasonablly priced products are products that screwfix hold in their own warehouses.

I would guess that for dropshipped products they calculate the price using a formula along the lines of "suppliers price" + "suppliers shipping charge" + "markup" with the result being that low-value dropshipped products end up very overpriced.

Seems strange not to carry them as a stock item. I would imagine there to be a fairly high demand for these sorts of things on a regular basis.

 

[plugwash]

They have dryline boxes that they stock in their own warehouses, just not that particular brand.

10 for £26 .
Pain if you want one though

 

[plugwash]

Still more than double the price of the appleby ones.

I asked screwfix about the high price and according to screwfix, the BG and appleby ones,

"The two items have different specifications and suitabilities. Therefore, this is reflected in the price: "

really !!

"The two items have different specifications and suitabilities. Therefore, this is reflected in the price: "

I think I might be asking for 'education' about these 'suitabilities' (and specifications)!

Kind Regards, John
