Hey, I admitted I got his email off of here and he said he was talking to someone else the night before who had also mentioned MN. Last time I told supplier that I was going to mention them on here, I got a 20% discount.

Lets see. I have paid. And if I DON'T get before Xmas will be very annoyed as I spoke to him yesterday and he promised that I was on the next mail out. The first 200 went to trade? apparently.

I bought dies from your mate Jimmy onlt the other day & I have them here - so delivery was very prompt. Having said that - no one has replied to my email asking for a price & I spoke to a girl yesterday who hadn't a clue !

Can't think of spring cards until after Xmas
My Xmas Doo is on Tues

He'll give mumsnetters 20% off as well he said.

I told him about MN- I found his site and couldn't believe the prices so posted on MN about it. Then I told him about it and I do believe that he's had loads of orders from Mners so I hope he advertises as he is good on delivery and price

Pixiefish - I assume that 20% is the same 20% as the loyalty discount & us MNers don't get a double discount

Lets face it. He doesn't need to. We have done it for him.

Shrewd businessman. He ain't about to pay whatever it is as he knows he is on here already.

Just one thing I would like to add.

when speaking to him on the phone, I said Hi it's xxxxx xxxx from the MN site that you have posted on. Immediately he said 'one of my employees may have done that, can I help you?'

Like I said shrewd, but helpful

I should imagine so Whizzz- can't see him giving 40% lol.

Anyway he did say that the MN discount was forever so may be worth remembering if he ever stops the 20% he has on his homepage.

I posted initially on here as i couldn't believe his prices- he's cheaper than second hand on ebay. I told YG about him- we both tried him out and when we knew he was genuine and good we passed the details on so that no one has to pay more than he charges for dies.

I ordered from them and got my dies really quickly...although one was no longer available and it was replaced with a die that I will never ever use. I would have preferred a phonecall to say the die was out of stock and to choose one I wanted, rather than them choose one. Now I have the added expense of returning the die and selecting another.

It maybe a good idea to add a note to your orders that dies should not be replaced without first contacting you...IYKWIM???

Awww JM!!! I have that one! Must admit, I haven't used it much ..yet...it is one of my newer ones though.

I have a pic if you want to see what I've done with it. But if you send it back and decide you do ever need any cut, you know who to shout for!
