Done it..went with argos have already had e-mail confirming purchase and they will deliver within postal days of release Dec 8th! did'nt even have to pre-order FANTASTIC THANK YOU x

Happy to help. I've had some good tips from this thread myself - just about to use the Hawkins Bazaar free postage code

I love this thread, there are some fab websites mentioned that I didn't know about before.

I've also had trouble with Amazon in the past and now I will only use them if I can't find the book elsewhere at a reasonable price. They should be sorry as I spent a fortune with them and only went looking for other sources of books after they messed me around several times.

Not mentioned before but I have found to be good:
Crocus for garden related stuff and cut flowers;
HQ Hair for cosmetics, smellies and generally indulgent stuff;
Beauty Sleuth like HQ Hair but smaller range and cheaper.

A big thank you to DingaLongCow for the link to Bibliophiles. I particularly love the list of titles that you can choose from when registering, I was so tempted to be The Dowager Duchess Bran. Do you think they get many princesses and sheriffs?

Um I would triple the amazon - great any time but for big orders and Christmas

I love this site for kids e-niko \link{HTTP://www.e-niko.co.uk}

Also love for furniture Aspace \link{http://www.aspaceuk.com} but I am waiting for the sales

These are lovely indoor playhouses win green \link{http://www.wingreen.co.uk}

if you keep check on their website they have free delivery days every now and again.

lulasapphire have 15% off if you type in Prima Baby at checkout - fab toys, baby & mum stuff, blankets, clothes - all very cool stuff.

cornflakekid - lulasapphire is an absolutely gorgeous site, thanks for telling us about it. I wasn't going to get my baby daughter much for Christmas since she'll be so little but have seen some lovely things on that website

i know its advertised on mn all the time, but i think kiddicare is a great site with super fast delivery!

Am loving this thread... have found some lovely websites ... thanks guys

no discounts i'm afraid but have a look at thatcuteage.com for some lovely and unusual present ideas for little ones.

Has anyone else used the FP7 free delivery code for Hawkins Bazaar, because it doesnt seem to be working for me. Has the code changed?

Posted this in another thread, but thought I would bump it on here. It has codes for loads of places.

has anyone used the £10 off when you spend £50 at m&s online... am buying at the moment and can't find anywhere to put the promotional code?

Cannot STAND amazon now they have all the second hand sellers mixed in

don't use them any more

Here's the ones i have used this year, and had no problems with

Mail order Express - love this lot, great for toys and never any problems

Amazon
Play.com
Toys R Us
Choicesdirect. com
ARGOS

The worst so far has to be Woolies. I posted on another thread about their Big Red Book. More like Big Red waste of paper. I wanted 18 things, and all except one was "not yet availiable".

£10 off when you spend £50 at m&s isn't working!

but you can get free delivery if you spend over £30 using promo code PCAHHZT

10% off all orders (excludes postage)

Would NOT recommend Blooming marvellous (Blooming rubbish more like). Ordered things on their website. Today an envelope is stuffed through our letterbox with one item and a casual note saying the rest of your order is not available. Well why let me order it then and let me think that at least one area is sorted? They must know at the "till" whether the item is in stock or not. Not using them again .

Have done 4 amazon orders so far and all orders arrived within a week . Also Marks and Spencer have been very speedy and items are well packed. Fat Face were very quick to deliver too.

My Amazon orders have been fine so far all arrived when they said they would and I have a DVD on pre-order that I hope their will be no problems with.

Boots on the other hand have been a complete nightmare, firstly the delivery was late, then I got an item I shouldn't have got and had an item missing from my order and then I had to trail all the way down to the post office to return the item (I don't drive and the item was pretty big). They then told me that they wouldn't pay for express delivery even though it was their fault so I would have to wait up to 5 working days for the item (no guaranteed delivery date) I argued and argued this with every manager I could and they bstill refused to pay the extra £5 to get it to me. So I waited for the parcel and again it didn't turn up so I rang the manager again and got told for some reason the re-order hadn't gone through and they would do it again so again it would arrive at some point within the next 5 days. Ofcourse I was out when it turned up and the depot was 40 miles away in Tunbridge Wells

At least after many many many calls to Boots they put 15000 points on my Boots card as an apology but I will never ever use them again.

cornetjo - this might be a bit late but the correct Hawkins code is FP7911. I've just used it. You put in the code and on the next page you get the option to pick a postal service and you choose free delivery. It just worked for me.
