Postage on these batteries is ridiculous!
I went to look at ordering one of each battery type …
it was over $30 for postage, which is more than the product

$16.55 shipping to Perth, making the total $26.50.

Personally I'd prefer to rock past an Officeworks and grab their $19.95 40-packs.

Shipping (to VIC) is almost 150% of the product being sold.
Very bad deal.

Note that these are SUPER (ie Carbon-Zinc) batteries which may be okay for low drain applications (clock, remote controls etc) but definitely wouldn't fair too well in high drain devices (eg digital cameras, camera flashes etc)

I noticed all your "bargains" are for topbuy

Do you work for them?
If so, please let them know that more than one item can fit in a box - combined shipping isn't a difficult concept (… and it might help their business).
Unless this is an eBay setup where low product prices are countered by extreme shipping fees.
