Current discount codes for on-line shopping, ladies!!!

[Branster]

Following on from an earlier thread 'ELC-discount codes???' I thought it'll be good to share with everyone the codes i happen to have for various on-line shopping sites. I will also include the ones from the above mentioned thread.

La Redoute - £25 off + free P&P, no min. order value, CODE 1991

ELC - 10% off entire order, valid until 30 June 2004, CODE 24M

Vertbaudet - 20% off entire order, valid until 30 Sept 2004, CODE 6853

Ocado - £15 off first oreder over £75, CODE VOU7588427

Sainsbury's to You - £10 off first online order. I'm not using Sainsb. at present, but in the past I used similar codes for first orders with them although it was not my first time and they did work so hopefully taht still works. I have 2 different codes here:
D8RM-5K6E-NDVJ valid until 2 Aug 2004
24FA-DJ7R-E5VC valid until 30 Aug 2004

Nope, sm, just the stuff I ordered in my Mum's name (well, except for one pair of trousers which i'm keeping - to justify the P&P!)

The sandals I'm keeping, definitely. They were only £1.02. I sent back the horrid dress, top and tacky bag. Still to come is a small bag, a big bag (do I have a bag thing?) and a shirt for dh. the small bag is from my initial 3 orders and is about two quid so I will keep it, but (as I said in an earlier thread) my exchanges have not had the full discounts re-applied and are costing £30 so unless I LOVE the big bag and shirt I will probably send them back.

Are you all following - I will be asking questions later?!

Like Branster, i think from now on i will stick to discount codes I'm actually entitled to use: it's all a bit complicated and stressful for my nappy brain to cope with.

And that Customer Care woman was decidedly frosty - she was "not amused" by my attempts at guileless internet-shoppping virgin. I think we are sussed, girls!

I ordered soem stuff on Monday using all three codes in my name and am now very nervous!!

DP is hunting down the wench who mentioned the Boden sale, for some reason (like dp shredding the catalogue and sale notice at the letterbox) I was oblivious about the sale!
Still I have only spent £46 and it is about a 1.4 of what I spend when the new catalogue (or crapalogue as dp calls it) comes out...

If the discount codes don't apply to sale stuff, why did my boots only cost 4.95 + p&p? Still waiting for the rest of my order, but they said it has been despatched when I called them yesterday.

Piffleoffagus - It wasn't me (as you know) as I was too scared of possible backlash from dps and dhs. I spent £137, but I only buy in the sale or when they send me an offer I can't resist!

Ooops, sorry, it was me I won't mention Boden again

I've just ordered from Verbaudet and she said the code 8074 is for 15% off and buy now pay October not £30.00 off.

Babyannabel - I'm really sorry. My message was written tongue-in-cheek as that was the way I interpreted Piffleoffagus's post. I'm sorry if I offended you, I definitely didn't mean to. I love lots of Boden's stuff. Sorry again. tm xx

Would anyone ordering from la redoute actually order again without codes ?
Since placing orders with them I have ordered from Boden sale and Promod-both orders have arrived, great stuff, great service.
La Redoute-have so far had one email saying I didnt put expiry date of cc on form-fair enough-my mistake-but generally spotted at time of order. So I phoned and left message on their answerphone as requested, today message on my answerphone saying could I redo it as their tape had run out!
2nd email today saying dont accept business address-usually use this as easier for parcels.
if I ever get anything I will be amazed

Tiamaria I was only joking too!! I frequently get disapproving looks from dh whenever the "b" word is mentioned!!! I feel awful for making you think you upset me. A huge case of crossed wires I think. Anyway, smiles all round!

Has anyone else ordered using 3 codes in the same day (some sale items too)??

Have the items all been sent seperately? Have the discount codes worked ok?

Sorry about all the questions, it's just that I'm getting a bit tense that it's all going to be a big confusing mess when my orders arrive!

Babyannabel
i placed 2 different orders on the same day using different discount codes with la redoute. they have been accepted but (see my lates message)the sale items were actually charged at their sale price, so the code did not work on the sale items. for other mnetters it appeared to have worked though.

Miggy - no! I would never order from them again without a code. I paid full price for a coat from them last winter - must have been mad, probably could have got it for tuppence

I am staying away from the Boden sale - I got the sale booklet this morning and threw it straight in the bin (well....I intended to...I browsed through it wistfully over a cup of coffee first but THEN I threw it in the bin!)

Another thing - even though I placed three separate orders using the three codes (twice!) the stuff was despatched all in one parcel - which does make it far more complicated to keep track.

When I queried the 8074 code today, which I used on one item costing £35 + £2.95 P&P, she told me that "even though it was a childrenswear code and not valid against my items at all" they had applied part of that £30 discount across my four items - but they were from two other separate orders, so WHY??????

Tbh, I think they are peed off now and are applying discounts in a random muddly type manner in the hope that we will go away and shop at Boden instead.

I think the quality of adult clothes there is a bit patchy anyway and the sizes are definitely skimpy...so there! Ooooh sour grapes....

Babyannabel - Phew! That's okay then.

I've had the middle one (I think it wss the middle one!) of my 3 orders.

ordered last tues, stil nothing attived, so very odd amounts have now been billed to cc, that i dont understand... even credits!! who knows whats going on ?,,

they have certainly mischarged me in a random manner, but I figure I've still had nearly £100 worth of stuff for under £20 so I certainly won't be complaining!

argh. i've calculated what i was meant to have been debited as £34.85. they've debited me £41.54 so far in a completely inexplicable and random way including a credit. order totalled £114.85 without discount, so am not completely pissed off yet...altho if they keep debiting weird amounts i will be. also bet none of it fits. it's karmic...! grrrr.

Tiamaria - Thanks for your help abou the ELC discount. In order to qualify for the 10% Mumsnet discount do I need a code when I order it on line. I dont suppose you know the date of the sale do you. Its the TP Sherwood Double swing & deck I want to order for £550 would this be in the sale do you know? Thanks Ellen23

Ellen23 - You're welcome. I think you'd need to ring them first and get them to give you a code so that you could then order it online. The lady hadn't heard officially about the sale, just a hint of it, perhaps you could ask about that too. Good luck!

My second parcel arrived today, and they had not taken any discount off at all. I called them, and they said that the code (5436) does not apply to sale stuff, which was why it was ignored. I asked why the code was accepted at all then, and he said it takes it automatically if it is a valid code, but will not be applied if I order from the wrong section. Apparently if I ordered them at full price, i.e not from the online sale then they would have applied the discount. Have no idea why they took a code for my boots then, but couldn't be bothered to argue.

I am sending them back.

Has anyone got a code for the Cotswold catalogue? I'm sure I got a 20% off offer but chucked the bit of paper?
