I just realise I haven’t even looked at what’s in the hamper before buying it🤣

Happyinheels · 11/10/2022 18:13

Can't believe in that short space of what, 20 minutes? that I've missed the hamper again 😭🤣
Although thank you for the whiskey link and the gin link - grabbed those!

Adelais · 11/10/2022 18:14

I managed to order the HC hamper this morning and it says it’s been dispatched so hoping I do get it. I’m not even sure who it’s for yet!

VeruccaSalty · 11/10/2022 18:15

Argh missed hamper too, I also got an email from WH Smith saying orders where being cancelled but an email from post office saying delivery on Thursday.

I was a little annoyed on Sunday because I had just done a WHSmith order but using 10% off blue light discount. It’s being honoured but my blue light discount now no longer works.
Very strange.
Thanks for the hotel chocolat deal though, 🙏 mine looks to be being honoured.

WH Smith have also suspended the BLC temporarily to do with the Pokemon thing

I did go and look but I can’t find what the amazing deal is on the cards

im assuming that there’s was a Pokemon forum sharing the codes and getting as excited as we were 😂😂

Same and I got 2🤣

I need to get it all out and designate to people as I’m building a huge stash.

I've had my HC order from this morning cancelled too! A bit gutted that it was back on again this afternoon when they've cancelled mine!

SpicyNikNak · 11/10/2022 18:30

I'm late to the party this year given it's thread 6 already!

For those with teens who like sports wear Bo and Tee have their £30 sets offer on at the moment. Their stuff is lovely quality and always a hit with my teen DD

They are playing silly buggers for sure!

I saw it at 7am but didn't order as I'm allergic to chocolate and couldn't think of anyone I'd give it to.

As an aside, I noticed that it's totally weight was only 500g or thereabouts. Surely that isn't worth full price in anyone's world. 500g of chocolate does not constitute a 'Large Hamper'

Annoyed on everyone's behalf. Total pisstake.

Adelais · 11/10/2022 18:39

I’ve just seen on a Facebook group for deals that lots of people had their HC orders cancelled in the last hour so it’s looking like we won’t be getting them sadly. Mine still says it’s been dispatched.

Someaddedsugar · 11/10/2022 18:40

I'm just asking Amazon about it on their live chat now as it seems odd that the deal went out twice.

Happyinheels · 11/10/2022 18:41

Deal of the day for Prime Members: Edinburgh Gin Apple and Spice Gin Liqueur, 50cl amzn.eu/d/9iTwIIv

Edinburgh gin is on offer. This is the spiced apple one. £10.99 instead of £16.50

Happyinheels · 11/10/2022 18:45

Edinburgh Gin Elderflower Gin Liqueur, 50cl amzn.eu/d/bPSO4PZ

And this is the elderflower one (my DD favourite) at £12.99 instead of £16.50. Every penny counts right?!

Also curious.

They do I have this one at 25% off, on an early Prime deal

Deal of the day for Prime Members: Hotel Chocolat: The Intensely Dark Collection, 0.71 kg amzn.eu/d/fX6c59L

Someaddedsugar · 11/10/2022 19:08

@TwinkleChristmas they said the item itself had been cancelled and didn't reference the price despite me saying that I was told the order was cancelled due to the price. The customer service agent then said to let them know when it's back in stock and they'll honour the price - surely they should honour the price for everyone if that's the case! I'm guessing when it goes back online it will have a different item code so they don't have to give the additional money off.

I didn't spot the total weight being 500g as a PP has said!

Maybe they will honour the price for people who complain… hopefully it will be back in stock asap.

I must of missed the weight comment. Il look for it.

Someaddedsugar · 11/10/2022 19:16

When you check the description it says weight 0.58kg - I do still think for £15 it's a bargain as HC is always on the pricey side for the weight/size.

polmnlj · 11/10/2022 19:17

I didn't order HC hamper because I didn't know who to give it. I have two reduced price hampers from HC already. But now I know to whom I would have given them. Too late though.

Dreamingofwalden · 11/10/2022 19:19

Another can cancelled WHSmiths order. Mainly kids books for stockings and a Lego Lotus Evija for my husband. Ironically the only items I have received a dispatch notice on are the Pokemon Encyclopaedia and sticker book. We shall see if they turn up! I hate their website so won’t bother reordering. 🙄

RegeJeanPageMeOnMyCellphone · 11/10/2022 19:34

Anyone looking to spend a bit on Lego - today is double VIP points plus you get a free VIP spooky set (rumour is that these are out of stock but if you contact customer services they’re offering a choice of replacement set).
If you spend over £40 on Ninjago you get a free 30593 Lloyd Suit Mech set.

If your order is over £80 you get 40529 children’s amusement park set.
Over £120 you get 40566 Ray the Castaway.
Over £170 you get 40484 Santa's Front Yard.

As far as I know, these offers stack so if you spend the qualifying amounts you could get all of the free sets.

Eggmcmuffin · 11/10/2022 19:39

Is there any way to set an alert on amazon to notify me if the HC hamper or burts bees crackers come up again?
