MSP Michael Russell is calling for an end to unfair delivery charges faced by online shoppers in Argyll and Bute. Citzens’ Advice Scotland (CAS) research has revealed many postcodes across the country are surcharged by more than 30-50 per cent.
Mr Russell, supporting fellow MSP Richard Lochhead’s fair delivery charges campaign, has condemned the charges which CAS dub ‘the postcode penalty’.
Mr Russell, the MSP for Argyll and Bute, said: ‘It is extremely unfair that some of the most loyal online shoppers in Argyll and Bute and across rural Scotland are the ones facing location discrimination and have to pay a postcode penalty to get their items delivered this Christmas.
