Has anyone built the 75-99% off search for DVD or Blu-ray as using the node number in the link doesnt seem to work for me?

Using this new tool I found lots of bits and bats from several suppliers for just 1p. But, they each had delivery charges of varying amounts associated with them. I'm not sure if delivery would actually be charged for each of the items if they come from different suppliers, or whether they would be aggregated into a single charge?

I know that if you elect the Super Special Delivery when the goods are despatched directly from Amazon that you can avoid delivery charges altogether, but the items I have selected are from what they call marketplace partners, so this free delivery service proably wont apply. Their delivery charge sheet is a bit of a nightmare and they ought to streamline it.

If you buy goods from different external sellers, you pay a separate charge for each item, ie, if you bought two books it's 2 x £2.75, so £5.50 in total.

The quickest way to see the total charge is to bung all the items in your basket and go through to checkout, where the total charges will appear. Just don't press 'place your order'.

Thanks for the clarification Jenny.

Hi guys. First off, great tips! Thanks a lot!

I have a question regarding searching for items. Following the url guide took me to the chosen department at the discounted prices. Cool. However it shows about 24 items, then a 'next' link to see the next 10 itmes. There are 2,514 Results in the Home and Garden section, so it'd take me ages to find what I'm looking for. So I used the 'search' facility from within this discounted section, but it gave me results that weren't discounted. It just gave me the standard results.

I hope I've explained this ok. Basically my question is, how do I find a specific discounted item without having to look through 2,514 results?

Thanks!

I'm not usually this stupid but I can't seem to find the number for shoes/boots. Where am I going wrong?!
Thanks!

Don't worry, some of the Amazon links are quite long, so the code can be hard to spot! Here's the node number for shoes & boots


amazon.co.uk/Shoes-Smart-Casual-Trainers-Bags/b/ref=sa_menu_shoeh6?ie=UTF8&node=355005011&pf_rd_p=218610391&pf_rd_s=left-nav-1&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_i=468294&pf_rd_m=A3P5ROKL5A1OLE&pf_rd_r=0VG0Z9RNNPAW2GAY03PC


So the 75% off link would be

wwwww.amazon.co.uk/gp/search/?node=355005011&pct-off=75-99

Do your search as normal and when the results appear add "&pct-off=75-99" to the end of the URL and press enter. Works for me.
