@OhRex
Speak to your bank about doing a chargeback for the amount.
I've had horrendous issues with Ultimate Outdoors. I returned several items via their designated courier and they're claiming there were less items in the box. Sent them proof of return etc as requested andover 3 weeks later I've still heard nothing, no refund, and they're not responding to emails. Spoke to my bank and the bank have done the chargeback thing and put the money straight back in my account.

Lindt website has the lindor tins and maxi balls reduced to £10 and others as well thats 1/3 off. Free delivery if spend over £50 and if you go via topcashback it's 10% cashback

Plot twist: my Smashed Grapes box, which was allegedly delivered to the North of England on Thursday, has just arrived to the house. So good luck to the rest of you with dodgy tracking.

MincePiesSparklyEyesAndNaturalHighs · 10/12/2022 09:53

There's a vivienne westwood outlet at bicester which has a selection of jewellery. You could ring them before travelling to confirm which pieces are in stock. There may be other outlet stores dotted around

Luckycatt · 10/12/2022 09:53

@PinkPanther27 thanks for that info about chargeback. I will try that next time!

I've had a nightmare with Superdrug - returned an item and they said they hadn't received it. It was a really expensive item (£100+) so I really needed the refund. I had tracking info, thankfully, but then Superdrug said they'd lost it in the warehouse and would have to find it to check the contents as it was high value. It was going on for 6 weeks, everyone from Superdrug telling me a different thing, no telephone service anymore.

Eventually I went through a free complaints service called Resolver and my refund was in my account within 24 hours. I'd totally recommend them to anyone who's getting nowhere with customer services for any company.

Somebody on the previous thread mentioned some lovely personalised snow globes from Snapfish at 50%, is there a specific code as i can only seem to get 30%

Thanks guys for those suggestions.

sycamorescrumptious · 10/12/2022 10:02

One of my smashed grapes orders has arrived!! And at my own house!

I ordered a charcuterie and a cheese tasting box - charcuterie has just arrived and got a voucher for the cheese one.

Does sound like a bad mix of letting the discount run far beyond when it should and the postal chaos leaving them in a complete mess I think

Yalz · 10/12/2022 10:19

The Green and Blacks wouldn’t reduce in my Amazon basket, but the Milk Shake Hair Milk (hope this is the right thing) is down to £7.99.

Justhereforthechristmasthreads · 10/12/2022 10:27

My free photobox christmas cards are finally with Evri maybe they will make it in time for this Christmas after all 😂

Apart from needing to go to an actual ableworld store for ny grandads socks (I refuse to pay £6.95 postage for one item!) i actually think I am done!

WaitWhatOh · 10/12/2022 10:30

thanks for the Vivienne Westwood info. I think I'll share the cheaper (but not cheap!) places with her and let her justify her Christmas money spending on it! The mad thing is my other half runs a jewellers and he would cry if we bought such cheap metals for that much !! LOL!

risefromyourgrave · 10/12/2022 10:34

Does anyone know if Firebox do discount codes please? I’m after an eye massager, but it’s £80!

OhRex · 10/12/2022 10:40

Thanks @PinkPanther27 i’ll call them now!

Sisisimone · 10/12/2022 10:45

Thanks for the G&B. One more ticked off the list. Only a couple to go now

Hardpillow · 10/12/2022 10:49

Thank you for the Disney puzzle book link.

If anyone is a member of company shop, our local has the MnS snow globe gins at two for £10.

shash1982 · 10/12/2022 10:55

@WaitWhatOh I ordered a vivienne westwood necklace from one of the bargain sites a few threads ago.
It never arrived, it wasn't due to royal mail, the company just cancelled the order.

FuckoffeeBeforeCoffee · 10/12/2022 11:02

Any recommendations for a gift for an almost 7 year old boy, please? About £10.

I'd bought him something but the present I've bought for his sister looks much more impressive so I need something else.

He's dinosaur mad. Or football. I'm not sure what else.

AnotherOne4 · 10/12/2022 11:08

Thanks for the Green & Blacks bargain. Was going to go for the Lindt, but they've sold out. G&B make a great alternative, plus they look more fancy!

lemonsmum · 10/12/2022 11:09

Im on a mission to complete this weekend.
Does anyone know at john Lewis is the reduce price online the price you pay at store before I travel there tomorrow?
I'm after cheaper jelly cats random/xmas as for an 18 year old who collects them. John Lewis seem to have a few discounted out of stock online but available in store.

Wolfcub · 10/12/2022 11:17

My love Malbec smashed grapes order arrived. Six small glass sized pouches of different malbecs and some snacks.

selina25 · 10/12/2022 11:18

well done, royal mail have sent me a map and a photo of my order being delivered to a lady in New Maldon, nowhere near me in the Peak district.
No response from sg either

AnotherOne4 · 10/12/2022 11:19

Just seen the same Green & Blacks is also £6.00 on the Tesco website

paintyhands · 10/12/2022 11:26

2 for £10 Papergang
boxes on Ohhdeer if anyone needs a stocking filler. I’ve ordered two along with the mystery Secret Santa gift (£5) with code HELLODEERXMAS for £15.95 delivered.

funnycactus · 10/12/2022 11:30
