Please could I check whether it's possible to see what's in a box before opening it, or if it's possible to re-seal a box? Some seem to have things like Christmas cards in them which I would't want to gift...they seem nice and good value though-thank you for sharing!

You can't reseal the boxes once open, but once they arrive the outside has an obvious pattern so you can check the box with the same pattern on the website to see what's inside!

@MayaTheBusyBee I ordered a similar one last year. Wasn't very impressed. You don't get 24 decorated ducks. Some doors have the woolly hat, or sunglasses that didn't fit. Just a bit misleading.
Hope they've improved them this year.

John Lewis have a sale on, up to 50% off which includes toys and games. I've just ordered a 9ft paddling pool and an inflatable rainbow sprinkler for £40! My girls will be very happy with these!

On the back of this. There are loads of Tonie characters in 3 for £40 in the sale and offer tab.

I ordered from Frasers 17th August but standard delivery.. 2 items came really fast and I'm still waiting for 2 - typically the bits I really wanted 😞 Delivery for me was said to be by Friday 23rd August. Customer service is awful I've emailed no reply. Live chat says its stuck at the warehouse and they will chase and get back to me but then no response. Same with Game (I know they are the same group) 1 thing from my order has arrived and no updates since. Be interesting to see of anyone else is having issues!

My game order is all undelivered and says being personalised? Looked today and everything is out of stock bar one item. Can't see any way to cancel as paying 4.99 postage on one thing now. 😒 website is awful and sends you in endless loop of FAQ.
Never ordering from game again online.

Love these threads 😁 soda stream has an offer on the Terra machine atm. It comes with a gas cylinder, 4 syrups and 2 bottles, reduced from £143.95 down to £69.99. I've just ordered one for my impossible to buy for 6 year old!

Unfortunately the GAME website had issues when everyone placed orders and the website still isnt working properly, it seems that GAME don't have a record of anything due to website issues and no one will be receiving their orders.

I'm not sure what happens next, I paid via paypal and I cant do anything until 20th September to reclaim the money, other people have said contacting GAME is useless as they refuse to cancel and refund, and then threaten to not refund if you raise a dispute through paypal/bank.

There's 3 for 2 on selected Argento sale, including birthstone pendants which are already down to €5 each 3 for 2 Argento sale

That's shocking!!

I've received a refund from game, unfortunately as they had managed to send one crappy item (£2), they didn't refund p&p! Means I ended up paying £7 for something I would never have ordered on it's own, that is currently available on Amazon delivered for £4 😡 Won't be using them again!

Lisamari99 · 10/09/2024 10:24

the argento website shows prices in euro, how do I get it in £? can't see anywhere to change it!

I received an invitation this morning to join the Amazon Shopper Panel. I have been on a waiting list since the Christmas Threads last year 😂. If anyone else joined the waiting list look out for an email.

Honestly it is brilliant get straight on it! I save all my money earned each year to use at Christmas time. It's brilliant to get loads of parcels and know they are all totally free for minimal effort!

Managed to get an absolute bargain today in M&S. Picked up 2 baking bottle gifts (Colin the Caterpillar Brownies & Percy Pig Blondies) to stash away for Christmas. Supposed to be £8 each but scanned at 80p each!!

Those look fab!

Where in M&S were they? The food:baking isle?

Ilovepugs2017 · 10/09/2024 11:14

has anyone used printerval.com before? Some items I’d like to order are on there but not sure whether to order as never used them before!

They were actually on a separate little shelf near the flowers at the front. Along with some gold medals and other gift type things.

The dates are good too (June/ July 25)

@phoebebunny thanks!!

If you press beside the wishlist button the currency options come up. I only know this because I've clicked it accidentally trying to go to my wishlist!

munchbunch12 · 10/09/2024 11:53

Thanks for the heads up @phoebebunny . Were they marked as reduced on the shelf, or still showing full price? There are some in the m&s near me, but they're just with the normal choice and sweets and the shelf edge still shows £8.

I'm also a fan of Amazon shopping panel. I only have the surveys but have been on the receipt waitlist for what feels like years!

Me, dont do it! I am still waiting for a refund on a tshirt they never sent.

I am absolutely incensed about Game. Does anyone have a number to call? I constantly get disconnected from the chat and they have ignored my emails. I am owed £43 plus pp and fuming.
