@ScarierThanBoo thanks for the title. Hope your slappers keep you lovely and warm and cushion your feet through the winter Xmas Grin

Oh bottoms , I only ordered one smashed grapes as a gift , January is too late and we don’t drink wine , so I’ve emailed to ask for a refund . I know groupon got in trouble a while back issuing gift vouchers instead of refunds when they couldn’t fulfil orders . I do feel for them but it will be fairly useless for us come the new year .

Any WHSmith discount codes please?

PenguinTattoo · 07/12/2022 16:18

Paperchase have some items 50% off and they are still included in the everything 3 for 2 offer. I got some 3 packs of decorations originally £12 each for £12 total!

TheCrow · 07/12/2022 16:28

Another smashed grapes cancellation here, I don't mind so much as it was only an add-on gift for my brother but I'll be a bit miffed if I have to pay postage twice for the same thing. Especially when you think how many £3.99 postage charges they now have sat in their account not being used 😅

My dd would like some red hi-top Converse shoes. She's a junior size 2 - any tips on getting them cheaper?

VelvetThunder · 07/12/2022 16:41

Those with Disney+, I just had an email which included a 35% discount code for shopDisney. I won't use my code if anyone would like to try and make use of it?

Needtostartover · 07/12/2022 16:41

I’ve just replied to the Smashed Grapes email from the other day requesting a refund and happy to return the voucher to them. Would hate to think of this causing them financial problems.

paintyhands · 07/12/2022 16:57

I don’t see a Neom code when I spin the wheel and on the email it says the code is %%voucher%% which clearly isn’t the code. Can anyone help? It was for the oils / pod.

IndigoTinsel · 07/12/2022 16:57

I've also requested a refund for my two smashed grapes orders. I feel sorry they've over stretched but not happy that one minute they say they will deliver, the next they aren't and now I need to find two replacement gifts and unfortunately it won't be such a bargain as these were going to be. I don't see why they should get to keep my £7.98 of delivery fees when they haven't delivered! I have said if I don't hear from them in 14 days I will be claiming through my credit card. I'm not interested in their gift card for January really. I could give it to the recipient but it doesnt feel the same as giving a present. Very disappointing.

MadeForThis · 07/12/2022 17:11

I know people are disappointed about Smashed Grapes. But the original tasting kit contained the equivalent of one bottle of wine. With the £30 voucher can you order more than one bottle? Even if you have to pay for delivery again.

Doesn't help with presents but could work out a bargain.

Mine hasn't been delivered or cancelled yet.

LateNightTalking · 07/12/2022 17:16

@PenguinTattoo that's a good spot, but the £4 postage puts me off!

WhatICallMyUsername · 07/12/2022 17:19

My concern with SG is the tasting kit plus postage will cost more than the £30 come January and I end up laying more out. Think I might ask for a refund as I also think it's a bit cheeky not to give people the option to cancel and just issue vouchers

How do you get the discount codes please? I have disney plus but don't ever receive money off codes

CornishGem1975 · 07/12/2022 17:24

They come to your registered email @LemonFrosting Do you get the emails that say 'What's new on Disney' because it was on the bottom of that today

Did anyone order the christmas cards from Photobox. Mum has had hers (she ordered after me) which came by Amazon delivery a couple of days after ordering. I had a dispatch notification on 1st with a tracking link to Evri but neither of my sets have even reached Evri yet it seems. Good job they are only the cards for the neighbours but might be next christmas now 😂

I've just had exactly the same issue, on the same date dec 1st! I contacted Photobox on chat and they are reprinting and resending.

Laney79 · 07/12/2022 17:26

Sorry that response was for @Justhereforthechristmasthreads

I would be really grateful for the code if its still available please?

mumonthehill · 07/12/2022 17:29

Smashed grapes order also cancelled which is a huge shame.

CornishGem1975 · 07/12/2022 17:29

Also I won't be using the discount code for Disney Shop either is anyone has any use for it.

VelvetThunder · 07/12/2022 17:32

@Amipreg1 have pm'd you the code, hopefully it works.

Thelifeofawife · 07/12/2022 17:34

I had 2 smashed grapes orders - 1 for me and 1 for my dad. I’ve received one email saying it won’t be sent, but the other email account says despatched so I am hoping that one still comes.

I’m really annoyed by my recent Nike order though. Nike were no problem but they use DPD, who decided to leave my parcel at a local supermarket for me to collect! What’s the point in online shopping/home delivery if you have to leave the house anyway. I didn’t know until it was too late and now they have sent my order back to Nike. I had used Black Friday discounts for that order so I’m not happy!

VelvetThunder · 07/12/2022 17:35

@LemonFrosting yeah as @CornishGem1975 said, it came in an email about what's new on Disney and the code was under all of this.

Hi! Can anyone recommend any weaning gifts? Baby will be 6 months old around Christmas

sittingonacornflake · 07/12/2022 17:45

I'm slightly concerned that smashed grapes are in financial difficulty and they've issued vouchers that they won't be able to honour.

Primark baby weaning stuff from Stacy (something or another) is by far the best weaning stuff I have found and unlike most weaning stuff it won't break the bank !
