Free hamper?

Was looking to buy an Italian hamper, and came across this site where several of the hampers are showing up as price zero. That can't be right can it? Is it worth ordering one just to see if it actually turns up? Assuming it's a mistake, are they obliged to sell at the listed price?

Have had confirmation email and have order number would be nice ..........

bollockbrain · 30/11/2008 20:36

ok thanks for that NCb

lisad123 · 30/11/2008 20:43

i have done it too, but doubt it will turn up.

chloemegjess · 30/11/2008 20:44

mmmm, tempting. Can't decide if to do it or not! I assume if all goes wrong then they still can't' take more money from paypal? And they should refund postage if nothing is delivered?

bollockbrain · 30/11/2008 20:46

right i have done it, with 7.17 postage. via paypal same as you lot. now i await the 'mistake' call tommo morning!! What do you reckon are the chances this goes the same way as the bed, sunglasses etc!

NCbirdy · 30/11/2008 20:46

That is my understanding CMJ. You have to send money to the seller from paypal, I don't think they can take it IYSWIM

NCbirdy · 30/11/2008 20:48

BB, possibly, I always think that, as long as you don't loose any money, it is worth a go. You may get a nice surprise, if not, nothingl lost!

Lilyloo · 30/11/2008 20:49

I am sure they will just cancel orders tom when they realise same as glasses and bed but they may not notice.
Email says they dispatch some items direct and some from their suppliers so this could slip through unnoticed just have to see!

Ohforfoxsake · 30/11/2008 20:55

Thanks for that Stinkymonkey

will see if it turns up!

Lilyloo · 30/11/2008 20:56

thanks Stinky hope you get one anyway!!

SameAsYou · 30/11/2008 21:00

I have had an e-mail saying despatched successfully and a unique reference number - will see if it turns up!!!

Lastyearsmodel · 30/11/2008 21:06

£0 items disappeared... they seem to have realised their mistake. Bugger.

NCbirdy · 30/11/2008 21:19

They are all listed at proper prices.

bollockbrain · 30/11/2008 21:23

arse we had best expect an email or call then, watch this space, unless we are lucky ienough to be honoured them at that price.

stinkymonkey · 30/11/2008 21:24

I didn't order one, was dithering too much. Keep us posted if you did.

ooh mines £99.98 doubt i am getting that for £7.17 however only about 10 ordered on here so they may honour it !!

flowerybeanbag · 30/11/2008 21:40

Isn't it the case that if they go ahead and take the money they are accepting our offer to buy the goods for that price? They've taken my money....

This'll make up for not getting the sunglasses. Although I would have preferred the sunglasses to a basket full of posh pasta sauce

LilySwalLoosHerTurkeyBaster · 30/11/2008 21:41

Guess we will find out tom as should be dispatched then ........

NCbirdy · 30/11/2008 22:04

I am not sure really, have you had dispatch messages or just order confirmation?

I think that an order confirmation is not enough, I am not sure what happens about the money though. I suppose it doesn't matter if they take your money as long as they get it back it is probably not binding....

LilySwalLoosHerTurkeyBaster · 30/11/2008 22:11

I only had order confirmation should imagine dispatch comes tom , bookings made Sat / Sun are doen the next working day so it says on my email!

NCbirdy · 30/11/2008 22:15

SAY said she had a delivery message so I wondered if anyone else had. You are right though, it usually is after the weekend!

SameAsYou · 30/11/2008 22:19

Apologies I probably should not have said despatched - I got this

bollockbrain · 30/11/2008 22:20

i got something like that at the end of the payment on the site, but no email. Have had a paypal receipt though, but nothing from the people themselves.

LilySwalLoosHerTurkeyBaster · 30/11/2008 22:34

I got something else was in my spam from them explaining their dispatch procedure!
