Amazon Haul

[PearlsPearl]

It's currently 60% off, and then extra discounts like a further 10% off over £50, free delivery etc. I've had one order already and it's all just shein/temu quality but most of it was absolutely fine.

Would love to hear what things people have ordered that have been a success?

My first order wins:

-packing cubes
-little jewellery boxes
-initial make up bags
-halloween decorations
-diamond art supplies
-acrylic cotton buds holder
-skipping rope
-notebooks
-christmas ribbon
-fridge magnets
-ACOTAR cushion cover

Oh no! Nightmare. Hope it gets sorted. Annoying though as it means you need to go out and do a top up stuffer shop. (Try saying that with no teeth in!)

Yeah I wouldn't have minded if it was my other Hauls but why this one?!? I have got to go IRL shopping which is chaos!

It's typical isn't it? I've ordered stuff recently from vinted. The things that aren't terribly important always turn up. The really important ones always go missing or arrive smashed.

The date for my delivery has now moved for a 5th time. Apparently I can ask for a refund if its not here by Wednesday. Looking at my order, most of it was for a Christmas market I did last week. A lot of the rest was for the school Christmas charity appeal which also ended earlier this week. I suppose if it does arrive, I can put it all away for next year.

I've made a note to myself to order nowt from Haul next year on Black Friday as its not likely to be here on time.

My order was due on the 16th then today and is now showing as delayed with no expected delivery date.
Unfortunately it had a few present add-ons and stocking fillers for two people and so Christmas is going to look uneven. I'm not rushing out to replace it though because it then what do I do if the stuff eventually arrives?
I'm not ordering from them again though. It's far too unreliable.

I had great success with the stocking fillers from Haul, but the best thing by far were the giant laundry sacks that I used to wrap the biggest presents (we switched to fabric bags for family gifts).

I got the green and the silver (which is an actual shiny silver) and they looked and worked great. They worked out at pennies each when the 80% off deal was on.

The sewing kits and packs of embroidery thread were a massive hit with dd- she’s already making friendship bracelets with the thread and deciding what materials to buy so she can make things. The mini monoculars were also well received

Great tip! I've stuck a couple of green and red ones in my basket to put away for next year. Contemplating wether they could be personalised in some way like Santa Sacks

Bit hits here were allll the stickers, frog and cat post it notes and a black cross body bag (the mobile phone sized one) DD absolutely loves it and it worked out at about 85p! Also book light and those thumb book holder thingies. Oh, and millions of strips of coloured paper for making those 3D stars. Cost pennies, and will keep her occupied for years!

For me, I've loved all the tissue paper, gift bags and Christmas stickers as it's made wrapping a joy. I also snaffled some candle moulds which have been great as I make candles for a living and it's been so much cheaper than elsewhere. Also loved the little crochet items (like positive potatoes etc) Washi tape, socks, tea towels, bookmarks, stencils, ribbon (beautiful white ribbon with snowflakes on; about 100 metres for less than a quid!) Sun catchers, potato peelers, hooks for the kitchen, hook things for hanging stuff on the back of car seats, pin badges, bookends, magnets, notebooks, origami paper, felt and other craft stuff and keyrings. Amazing, really.

Ah yes, tissue paper and paper christmas stickers were great. Paper sweet bags too. Although we used fabric bags for family gifts, kids declared they still wanted to be able to unwrap 🙄😅so I roughly wrapped in tissue with a sticker to close, then into the fabric bag. Stocking presents into paper sweet bags with a sticker. Still ended up with only a handful of paper for recycling rather than half a bin load. Much, much quicker too.

The other thing that was great for wrapping were these woven baskets for hampers. They are showing as £4.50ish at the moment, but they kept randomly going down in price to £1-1.50 ish, and then 60%-80% off. They are a really good size and also have the cellophane and ribbon with them. My mum nicked everyone’s baskets to use to organise her bathroom cupboard 😂amzn.eu/d/88CLh34

I took a load of hats, gloves, scarves and socks to a homeless hostel yesterday - purchased on haul for about £13 during one of their offers. The hostel manager was so grateful for them, so I think I'll keep ordering bits whenever there's a good offer.

My other best buys have been ribbon for wrapping, notebooks, my 8-pence jewellery boxes and some little fold up shopping bags in various designs.

Amazon Haul have a 50% off offer today

Brilliant thankyou x

You also get an extra 20% off if you spend over - I think it was £30 or £40 - I got £45 worth of stuff for £19. It was all things I needed and had been waiting patiently for an offer to come along.

So I got a goose head phone holder, an in car phone holder, a waterproof shower phone holder, padded ski socks, loads of different sizes of clip top bags (I use loads of these for crafts and jewellery making) I also got plant supports for the garden, cycling shorts for under my dresses in summer, stickers, wonderweb, pillbox, suncatchers (i have really enjoyed hanging different ones of these in my windows dependent on the season) Also post it notes, 50 mini ducks, a cross body bag that is apparently leather - I bought a few of the fabric ones which went down well at Christmas so thought this was worth a punt. Finally, loads of cable tidy clips and some of those shoes you wear to clean your floors. They were only 60p so if they are crap, I'll just clean the car with them. Most of what I bought had really good reviews though.

Anyway, the 50% off is on until 25 March I think (selected items)

I'm not getting 50% off when I go to checkout. Just free shipping and £2.03 discount for spending over £15. So my basket of £25.33 becomes £18.31? Is there a minimum spend?

No, but it is only selected items and not on everything. You need to click on the 'click here' button at the top of the home page and scroll through the 50% off items.

Why couldn't it be 50% off all ?

Mmmm - it doesn't say that in the Ts & Cs.
Not much good to me as it doesn't include what i want.
