About half of my Prime stuff doesn't arrive next day as promised but haven't thought about complaining? I live in NE Scotland tho so maybe that's why!

Yes, we don't often complain to amazon but dh was cross that the email said guaranteed delivery rather than estimated. Usually if we order in the run up to six o clock then stuff gets couriered by DPD who are very good. Our order is with city link though who don't start their extended delivery period until next week so we waited in all day for nothing.

My watch is also missing but is with royal mail so nothing new there...

Just checked my order history and half the stuff didn't arrive the next day, none of it urgent though plus I signed up to amazon family so get 3 months or prime free (just need to remember to cancel it!)

I went on a reccy to Tesco this morning to put the Kindle Fire vs Kindle Fire HD debate to rest in my head, I decided that I like the normal Fire enough and ordered it as soon as I got home... I need sedating, or my interwebs need to be taken away Blush

How much was the Galaxy last time Slightly? I've had a quick look, quite like the beret but not sure if I like it enough to buy it.

Morning!

I think the galaxy went for about £79 last time, whatkungfuthat.

Taggie, I want the pig wheelie too, but dh still says no Sad

Was hoping for some better Kipling bags today but nothing I like there, so I guess I've saved some money!

Morning all. I went to tesco yesterday and had a look at the Lego brick master sets and Lego ideas book, so tempted by that bundle later on. Has anyone had the brick masters before, are they worth it? I'm thinking of getting them for future presents as we know lots of small boys :)

There's some coffee offers I may get a bit later on and I am toying with getting a laminator. Otherwise it should be a cheapish day.

DHs mate is a postman and said there are crates and crates of mostly amazon stuff waiting to be sorted (and this is a small town post office, imagine theres even more in bigger ones).
I've got a few bits through so far. Completely random order.

That's weird, I have found the delivery service to be great. I have a free trial of prime just now, everything has come when I was told it would. Except the ice watch but I was told there was a delay in dispatching. Maybe it's because I have spent so much money!

I have had everything except Friday's purchases now, so can't complain about that, with it being the super saver delivery Smile

I am really disappointed this year, last year they had many bigger items but they seem to be few this year. I I have only seen a couple of tvs, playstations and phones. Everything else is shoes, toys etc that have been repeated everyday. I was hoping for a kitchen aid!

Brick master books are incredibly good value. A lot of playing as you can usually make at least 5 different models.
