Paying £7.50 for prompt delivery of a £3.50 part doesn't strike me as reasonable
Would you rather they had charged you £11 for the part with free delivery? Why do you think the price of the part has any bearing on the cost of shipping? Who do you imagine is the fat cat in this "£7.50 postage scam"? Certainly not the guy who has been out there throughout lock down making less than minimum wage doing final deliveries. Not the sort hub staff on zero hours contracts. Not even the corporations running alternatives to Royal Mail. You are rapidly turning into that twat who went viral on here for moaning about being charged £15 labour for a BB swap.

In a virtual fashion, yes I suppose so.
Paying £7.50 for prompt delivery of a £3.50 part doesn't strike me as reasonable, using comparison to other bike mail order places to define reasonable. Therefore continuing to argue with someone who presents it as the right and proper course of action isn't going to go anywhere useful as our definition of "reasonable" is clearly so far adrift.
