    Some interesting points:
    • Items purchased from Amazon's Preferred Merchant, Indigostarfish.com are also eligible for Super Saver Delivery
    • Applies only to orders that you have selected to "Dispatch when entire order is ready".
    • The only items that aren't included in the offer are gift certificates and items purchased from third parties on Amazon.co.uk Marketplace (unless marked as Fulfilled by Amazon).

    Is it too late to cancel and re-order? Usually I get about a day or so to cancel the order before it enters the dispatch process. Depends on whether you want the filler item.
