Beware "Special Offers" that aren't that special

I've been looking at some "special offers" out there, including one I found for the Keeley Compressor for £169-ish with "free delivery", what they only tell you in tiny print is that you have to add VAT. Sellers to the retail market are supposed to include VAT in all their pricing, but some don't bother for some reason. You might think this is to dupe the unwary into thinking their prices are lower than they are, or maybe to get better hits through search engines and comparison sites, I couldn't possibly comment. When VAT is added, and if you bother to read your credit card bill, your "special offer" price suddenly jumps to £195, not £169. Given that we sell the same pedal for £189 with Royal Mail Special Delivery and VAT included as our REGULAR price, and all our pedal prices already include delivery and VAT, we would strongly advise you to read the small print (and it is often quite small) very carefully before jumping at "bargains" that may not be what they first appear. Caveat emptor.
