Thread 6 - the one with the long shit

[Reastie]

Thanks @shash1982 for the thread title!

If you have a referral link for a website, do post it on this thread

See post 2 for some (hopefully) useful links.

Present tracking apps might be of interest eg Santas bag, gift list.

Here are some useful websites:

Amazon free delivery tool here

Aliexpress www.aliexpress.com here . Useful tips here from sorryiasked: Aliexpress is a Chinese site that sells everything! Assume all branded stuff is fake. I personally wouldn't buy baby toys or electronics from there as I don't have faith in the product safety. But for fan merchandise, dolls clothes, "lego", household items etc it's great. Check the size guide on clothes and lower your expectations!
Use a seller who has a 4.5 star rating or higher.

You can pay via PayPal and there is an excellent tracking system, but be aware express postage is usually 2-3 weeks and standard postage up to 2-3 months.

Bargainmax here

Camelcamelcamel is a brilliant site that tracks prices on amazon here

Lisa angel sale is popular when on, apparently arrive nicely packaged too here

Magazine subscription offers here and here

Netpricedirect has discount toys and party bits here although be aware reviews of the site is mixed

Toys for a pound here

Any additional websites or recommendations to add - just let me know . I should add something about Ali express maybe as we’ve had that before…will get my brain thinking about what other sites/products have been popular.

Thanks so much @Reastie - and thanks to the PP for the Paw Patrol track bargain at Smyths.

Has anyone seen any bargain Octonauts anywhere? I've looked on Vinted but there aren't many actual bargains at the moment.

Does anyone have a hotel chocolat code they could pm me please. Need a present for a friend and the previous £12 off £50 spend must have been used. Thanks

Thanks for the new thread. @Reastie is there any chance you could add a quick sentence explaining how to do clicky links into the beginning post of the next one please?

I’ve only recently joined the threads this year so sorry if has already been mentioned but Amazon prime day sale is this Tuesday and Wednesday.

There was a generic code on the last thread XMAS-DML22

Clearance on Sho bottles. The 500ml are patterned and £9.99. Nice gift

@Jedstre codes attached. Does say 10th oct to 13th nov so probably not live yet

Oh my god last year I was desperate for octonauts and couldn't find anything anywhere!!! Now that I've seen it in the shops, son is no longer interested, typical 🙄

The Entertainer and Smyths sell Octonauts toys. Amazon too

Thanks but not working. Same code @imnottoofussed has posted to start tomorrow so I’ll try and hope it’s not a once only use.

The Winter box from Superdrug doesn't seem to be working in NI. Very frustrating

Lakeland codes if anyone can use 😀

Thanks to everyone who gave dairy free choc coin advice- my sister got some in Tesco today for me!

Thanks for the new thread @Reastie

I’ve contacted customer services for clarification- it’s getting v frustrating and will no doubt be blamed on brexit 🙄

Does anyone know if Robert Dyas regularly do discount codes? I can get 5% student discount but the thing I’d like to buy is £160 and I was hoping for at least 10%! Thanks.

I've just picked these up from Smiggle, £8.50 instead of £26

Decent sized pack too, they're similar to bingo dabbers but thicker pen body. My son has been using these at school.

@tellmewhenthelangshiplandscoz thanks for that feedback - I am going to order later so will measure properly as it was the moccasin style I want too.

I've contacted too. They say that aerosols and flammable can't be shipped to NI. But I ordered other items and they were going to deliver those which are similar items.

Sorry that should have been to @Christmasmcchristmasface

Gabbys dollshouse on Amazon has dropped to £71.63 from £79.99, a bit of a saving

Very strange I ordered from ROI and it was accepted

I know I’ve had similar before - I can’t understand why it can’t be collected from store

Thanks for the oodie discount code. DD has just confirmed she doesn't want a sleep tee so I'm happy to be able to get one for £35. I've been eyeing them up for ages. I'm going to do it.
Also caved on the Superdrug skincare set. I'm so weak.

Thread 6 already!! It’s going to be a record year!! I collected my hobbycraft order of posca pens which ds will be delighted with.
slowly picking things up and using these threads really helps for ideas as well as bargains!
