Finally some good news! Shopping online is about to get much easier thanks to a ban on 'drip pricing'.

- MARTYN JAMES

This is when businesses quote a price to lure you in, then add on additional, unavoidable fees that you can't opt out of. As a result, what you are charged out at the checkout can be much higher.

Drip pricing is a big deal The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) found that these unavoidable fees cost us all £2.2 billion every year. The charges affect over half of all entertainment and hospitality transactions and nearly three quarters of transport and communication charges.
