P&P costs on dive goods

I placed an order with a reputable UK company for dive material. Upon ordering the estimate for P&P was £34.90. OK it was a lot but I got the package today to see the actual cost was £16.15. Is it me or the £18.75 surcharge for packaging is a bit of exageration?

Upon ordering it said it was an estimate but nevertheless that was the value debited.

I feel quite annoyed about this, am I being stupid or is this a way off?

I emailed them back with my concerns and will see what the reply will be.

I know with ebay it's a well known practice to make their money but I wasn't expecting this with a well know store. The sad bit, is that with practices like this I would avoid a repeat order. A quick buck made but no return business...
