to think I should be able to buy a cup for my daughter without having to spend £20 first

Because it's an 'add on' item?

Seriously? I added another cup to the item so the checkout button came up, went to click through and it said we'll save your add on item for later. NO, I want it now you twats, the whole reason I am here is to buy that that has not said its an add on item until very recently as only added it to basket a few days a go to serve as a reminded to fetch it today.

Me either!! Basically wanted to buy a drinking cup. Only to be told basically could not buy it as a standalone item, I need to buy £20 worth of stuff and add it to my order that way.

Why? I really don't see the point?

It's this one.

It genuinely didn't say that about 2-3 days ago when I put it in basket!

pumpkinsweetie · 20/02/2013 12:12

Jeez, you have to spend £20 to buy a cup!! Blimey ive always shopped with Amazon, this must be a new thing.

What a rip off. Better off getting it from tesco, in the link above.

Branleuse · 20/02/2013 12:15

amazon are cunts. Shop locally

Wheresmycaffeinedrip · 20/02/2013 12:16

Go to tesco and get one. Silly to spending on postage rhan item
Is worth anyway. And spending £20 to get something u can get in a supermarket is ridiculous. Since when did that kick I I've used amazon a few times and never had to?

hellhasnofurylikeahungrywoman · 20/02/2013 12:16

Kiddicare £1.97

mrsyattering · 20/02/2013 12:20

Kiddiecare sell them for £1.80

BlackAffronted · 20/02/2013 12:20

Ive tried to buy 3 things recently, that have said this :( Really going off Amazon now ... I dont want to spend an extra £20 to get 1 item I want! There is no other way of buying it from them either!

Branleuse · 20/02/2013 12:21

You could try a different sort of cup??

pluCaChange · 20/02/2013 12:25

The new add-on programme.

Viviennemary · 20/02/2013 12:28

It's because these items are so low in price it wouldn't be worth sending them post free. Because the postage might be more than the item is worth. I think this is fair enough. It is irritating for you if you want the cup and can't get it anywhere else.

CarpeJugulum · 20/02/2013 12:29

This amazon seller has it.

ratspeaker · 20/02/2013 12:29

You can but them through Amazon, you just have to go to a different seller.
They've provided a link at the right hand side of the page although the price and p&p will be not as cheap
