Early day motion tabled by primary sponsor Drew Hendry (Scottish National Party), on Tuesday, 21 November 2017, in the House of Commons. It is signed by 19 members in total.
DELIVERY CHARGES
That this House recognises that people living in the rural areas of the UK, particularly in the Highlands and Islands, regularly have to pay extortionate delivery charges for goods and products ordered over the internet; expresses its concerns that consumers in the Highlands and Islands are paying, on average, £14.23 more for deliveries; notes that charges such as these cannot be justified, and as a result consumers in the Highlands and Islands, and other rural areas, are being unfairly discriminated against by online sellers due to their place of residence; and supports calls for retailers to end excessive delivery surcharges and to offer delivery by Royal mail where this is the cheaper option.
