The two numbers use different VAT bases
The inspected delivery page presents the threshold as over £50 excluding VAT or £60 including VAT. Those are paired bases, not two unrelated promotions. Below it, the displayed delivery pair is £4.95 excluding or £5.94 including VAT. Read the selected transaction consistently before deciding that a paper order reaches the free-delivery condition.
Do not combine another seller’s order
The Navigator and Steinbeis one-carton inclusive observations total £56.38. That is below the displayed £60 inclusive threshold. Adding the £4.19 Viking ream gives £60.57 across our comparison, but it does not make the Paperstone order exceed its threshold:the Viking purchase belongs to a different retailer.
Keep the exact boundary unresolved
The source uses “over” and “under” wording. An exact £60 boundary is therefore not automatically resolved by this simplified table. We do not manufacture an equality rule or subtract unknown discounts from an assumed threshold. Confirm the actual basket and checkout terms, including any product exclusions or extra charges, when the boundary matters.
Check postcode and timing separately
The page describes next-working-day service for most products and lists hard-to-reach postcode exceptions. That is an expected service with conditions, not our arrival guarantee. No address or postcode is collected here. Enter the actual inclusive delivery charge only after confirming your order’s destination, cut-off, stock and terms.
A purchase case to keep explicit
At £56.38 for the two selected Paperstone cartons, the observed below-threshold inclusive delivery figure would produce £62.32 if it genuinely applies to the current transaction. This is conditional arithmetic, not a checkout observation. At an exact threshold or after discounts, request the final delivery result instead of extrapolating.
