So how do we get free shipping from SRS? Do we have to call up and tell them, or is there an option on the website? I'm just going to go and order the DA* cap / hood so I can say it's in near perfect condition as those are the only two spots with any marks.

There is a comments box in the online ordering process where you can enter your PU user name and ask for free postage. They will then discount the order.

...or not, as happened to me, but I really couldn't be bothered to quibble over a couple of quid.

I normally use the phone - georaphical numbers are included as free calls on my phone plan - so it's easy that way for me. Never had any problem

Me too! I am not sure if they always read the comments box. If postage is substantial enough to bother about it is probably wise to place the order by phone. I have always received free postage when I have spoken to a living person at SRS.

I am sure if you put pentaxuser in the code box you get 10% off

The discount [ free postage ] was applied .

I have always received free postage when mentioning PU in the comments box.

I would expect them to refund the postage retrospectively if they miss your comment.

I have also always had fee postage by just putting my Pentax username in the comments box.

“Pentax User ID: my username

I don’t recall adding anything else.

I haven't tried using PayPal for SRS yet, but usually there is a facility for sending a comment with a PayPal payment too. You may have to click something to bring it up.
