    hmmmm....

    Looks like we've had the best of the glitch. IMO BS stuff is way overpriced, and I think they've employed a very clever marketing technique, but there really isn't much left that is worth having now.

    Right.... time to go glitch hunting, me-thinks.... :D:D

    I would be careful if anyone intends to try and take the free stuff back to a store for a full refund - although the prices aren't on the despatch note, they might be able to look up the order number on the till and see what you paid.

    I'm pretty sure other online purchase but return in store shops like Boots work like that.

    I have loved this forum - and the way people find out about glitches and various items - but isn't taking something back for the money taking things a bit far? Isn't that kind of like theft? Or would you just say that it is part of the glitch?

    Don't get me wrong - I was able to take advantage of some M&S glitch stuff - only a couple of items - but wouldn't dream of taking it back for the money! Maybe that's a bit hypocritical of me :confused:

    Oh I absolutely agree and I wouldn't do it but there have been mutterings, especially on HUKD about people trying to do this.

    No, it's not part of the glitch.

    Taking glitch things back in the hope of getting a full (i.e. more than you paid) refund, is imo completely taking the mick. Taking advantage of low prices to buy is one thing, trying to get a refund is just screwing the company over and is a step too far.

    Most decent people wont do this. (Imo.)

    I agree!
    I hate it when greed kicks in - those trying to make a quick buck by returning the items or Ebaying them. :(

    I have managed to buy my mum loads more than usual as part of this glitch.
    Just hope it all arrives.
    I also bought some extra (full priced) bits to go with the 3 for 2 items from BS that I wouldn't usually have bought at that price so I don't feel I've been too bad! lol
    Anyone know where I can buy a nice but cheapish hamper/basket to arrange it all in? :)

    Surely it's fraud and therefore a criminal offence?
