Actually if you take it to checkout it breaks down like this:

Sub-total =A3245.95 17.50 % =A3288.99=20=20
Total Delivery Charge =A351.06 17.50 % =A360.00=20=20
Total Price =A3297.01 17.50 % =A3348.99

The real CON with Dell is add three to the basket and they TRIPPLE the
deli=
very charge. The trick is to phone and just tell them you're NOT paying
it!=
=20

Oh and whatever you do don't try and have it delivered to an alternative
