21178 Minecraft The Fox Lodge House, Animal Toys,Birthday Gifts for Boys and Girls age 8 plus Years Old, with Drowned Zombie Figure Minecraft Lego

Sorry that didn’t work

Minecraft Lego fox reduced
to £11.99

My cash back has changed to pennies too.

Odd as I ordered Wednesday morning and used PayPal. DH ordered Wednesday night and used his debit card. His are coming this afternoon. I've heard nothing about mine.

Do be careful though. About half of the people I know who wear earrings would react terribly to cheap earrings like this.

My vans parcel is put for delivery, so fingers crossed!!!

@snowmanshoes thank you will check both out

Thank you! The cheese advent calendar I wanted was not included in the '20% off selected advent calendars' on their site so very pleased to still get a discount 😎

I see Thrift has 50% off with code AUTUMN50 - they already have a sale on so there may be some bargains to be had.

Also, here's a Matalan code if anyone can use it

@Thorilicious I don't have Facebook so will just send them back via courier. Hopefully it's not too much of a ball ache.

@blusteryshowersaway interesting you mentioned PayPal as my credit card order was delivered but I've heard nothing at all about the PayPal order I placed the same evening.

Heads up for those who have ordered vans as gifts:

The packaging tells you exactly what is inside! Size and everything

DAD20 gives another 20% off the already discounted Paddy and Scott's coffee which was recommended last year.

Cheers @PissedOffNeighbour22 I remember trying on many pairs as a teen back in the 90s, loved them!
I’ll have to take DS to a physical shop to try some on - kicking myself again as I could have done it this morning when we were in town but his and his brothers whinging had me focused on getting them joggers in primark and nothing else!

@blusteryshowersaway i also ordered Wednesday morning (only a jacket) and paid via PayPal. Got a confirmation email right away as I think I was early on the bandwagon but nothing since. Just gone onto chat to query it and got this response so there is hope!

“About your friend who already have their parcels, that's most probably because the item was available and in stock in our depot in the UK and probably your parcel will be coming from our warehouse in the EU.”

@PissedOffNeighbour22 what size/shoes did you get? If they are the right size and design I wouldn’t mind buying them off you if you haven’t already returned!

Was someone looking for hamper kits? The Works have several different sizes of baskets with shredded paper and cellophane, and some empty crates too.

@PissedOffNeighbour22 I’ve previously returned Vans I bought for dh. I arranged the courier pick up through the Vans site and it was very straightforward. Refund arrived quickly and they even refunded my postage which I had not expected.

I ended up ordering a pair of Vans and two t-shirts using the 30% off. I couldn’t get it to work on the sale clothes. I am sad at not getting the 50% having seen it at check out several times before the website crashed but it’s still a bargain 🤷‍♀️.

Can’t remember if mentioned already and not sure if account specific…
anyone who doesn’t have John Lewis app already, I had an email for £10 off my first JL app purchase.
The code in my rewards was MYJLAPP so seems generic.
didn’t mention a minimum spend.

I used it to buy some £40 Lego my dd randomly asked for. They have a Lego deal on at the moment on a £60 spend I think, so could be a good discount in there

A big thank you for the Van's codes I was able to get some shoes I've always wanted but at full price I wouldn't be able to afford/justify.

Has anybodys order that has come to day just got part? On tracking it says processing for all items and money is still pending. So not sure if half is cancelled like others or will be delivered later as these came next day.

Dd anyone pay via Klarna for vans? I had confirmation pretty quickly, then about 5 hours an email about payment being taken but literally nothing since?!?!

*did

Joining as about time I started planning

I did. Ordered Weds night, confirmation straight away, then half order was cancelled yesterday morning.

Nothing further until earlier today when I had both an updated Klarna payment schedule (reducing it due to the half cancelled) and dispatch email for the half that did get cancelled.

All seems quite efficient.

the half that didn't* get cancelled

Bold fail! 🤦‍♀️🤣

I've only had one pair of Vans arrive today - sadly don't like them!
Presume the others are en route as haven't had an email to say that they're cancelled.

Argos have 20% off Chad valley range with code CV20

also applies to already discounted items- eg this gears set which is reduced to £4.50, bringing it down to £3.60 with the code

Thank you I made a big order so this helped a lot!
