The Kiddicare Sale is now on - some real bargains, just got a swimsuit with floats in for DS1, was £19.99 now 99p!

dandelionsRflowers · 30/06/2014 10:39

Lucysmam Kalixa is the link, it will make more sense than I did earlier! The free card offer ends today.

Might be worth a look in Poundworld for anyone with loom band fans, they had watch kits and packs of 12 charms as well as bags upon bags of bands when I nipped in this morning. I picked up a watch kit for each of my girls but am debating going back for a few more to stash in my present drawer.

Whoever was asking about dive sticks and the like, Poundland (green one) have had packs of three in lately along with inflatables and the like Smile

Ty for the link dandelions, will get on with that when I get home (just on the bus) Smile

WisemansBridge · 30/06/2014 11:05

Thank you for all the info regarding argos, will try them today and see if they'll let me have it for the reserved price.

ValiumQueen · 30/06/2014 11:09

All the swim suit things are out of stock. What a bargain!

So pissed off with Asda! I order the Elsa Frozen dress on 21st June. Chased them yesterday to see when it would be delivered and just got an email saying due to demand they can no longer fulfil the order. They were happy to have my money for 10 days though!! Angry Not impressed!

MayhemMostDays · 30/06/2014 11:44

I just had exactly the same letmegooglethat Angry Angry Angry Angry Angry

I originally ordered a 5-6 for dd2 and a 7-8 for dd1.

5-6 was too big so returned and reordered a 3-4 but now they haven't got it Angry

So poor dd2 still hasn't got an Elsa dress while dd1 has.

Not good enough Asda!!!!

MayhemMostDays · 30/06/2014 13:02

I emailed Asda but they just replied with another email confirming the order has been cancelled Angry

shocking customer service Angry

HaveYouHeardOfGoogle · 30/06/2014 13:17

It really is awful customer service. Why take so many orders if you couldn't fulfil them? Can they take the money and wait that long before letting customers know?

MayhemMostDays · 30/06/2014 13:29

Apparently so! Bastards.

I've tweeted them as well. Probably to no avail.

IsaJess · 30/06/2014 14:50

Same thing happened to me :-(
I am so relieved that my daughter didn't know I'd ordered her an Elsa dress.... I'm really frustrated - I ordered on 21st June too.
:-( :-( :-(

KEGirlOnFire · 30/06/2014 15:08

I had the same problem when the set of 4 Frozen Characters came out at ASDA. They emailed me after 48 hours to say the item was out of stock. As it turns out, it wasn't, they just couldn't deliver it to the store by the timeframe they said they could.

I only found that out by reordering it and had it delivered to home without any problems.

Hope that you get the dresses eventually...

PintOfWine · 30/06/2014 15:51

If any of you are near a TK Maxx, I just found a few tubs of Estelle & Thild Face Cream (Rose Otto) at mine selling for 9.99! They sell for 47 at John Lewis

JerseySpud · 30/06/2014 16:00

I had the same with the frozen figures as well, right for YoungestSpuds birthday :(

glenthebattleostrich · 30/06/2014 16:07

My John Lewis wrapping paper arrived.

Also got happy land post office for £6, happy land circus for £7.50 and a talking doll for £6.

The clearance is definitely worth a look.

Also picked up the sylvanian families house. It is fantastic. DD is going to love it so thanks for that.

KEGirlOnFire · 30/06/2014 16:11

I know Jersey, it was really bad. Luckily they arrived in time for DD's birthday but I ended up ordering whatever I could then because I didn't trust them, so now DD has 3 Anna Dolls and 1 Elsa doll. Hmm

JerseySpud · 30/06/2014 17:25

I think we need to start thinking of a name for the next thread don't we Reastie?

Reastie · 30/06/2014 18:45

Yup, I haven't got a thread title lined up yet [disorganised]

YaMasYaDaWithAWigOn · 30/06/2014 18:53

Maybe the title should have something to do with Sylvanian Families or about those ridiculously hard to get hold of Elsa dresses.

JerseySpud · 30/06/2014 19:01

Rocking around the Sylvanian Families Christmas Tree wearing my Frozen Elsa dress?

MayhemMostDays · 30/06/2014 19:20

not wearing my Elsa dress would be more appropriate Angry

No response from Asda on twitter either dispite a couple of us on here re tweeting our complaints. Thanks forSmile that!

Mipe · 30/06/2014 19:21

Does anyone have a free delivery code for the Book People? I only want a £3 book and the postage is £2.95 :).

JerseySpud · 30/06/2014 19:30

JerseySpud · 30/06/2014 19:31
