99p Shipping at SVP

SVP.co.uk are having one of their 99p shipping weekends.

They do this about once a month and they'll ship any order over £30 to any UK address (inc N Ireland) for 99p.

Details on this offer are here on their latest newsletter: http://svp.co.uk/newsletter/latestnews.htm

https://www.svp.co.uk are the shop I buy nearly all my computer accessories from and now my workplace (and most of the people working there!) also buy from them. I always order on the 99p shipping weekends, taking care that I have ordered enough copy paper, photo paper, ink, discs, cables to last me till the next 99p shipping weekend and also allowing myself the odd treat like a new printer, new DVD writer or new USB drive if I can justify it to myself and my flexible friend :-)

SVP come highly recommended for service and value, especially on these 99p shipping weekends.

The offer finishes at the end of Sunday 30th July

    MMC card 1GB from SVP costs £19+ and weighs less than a feather yet still costs £1.19 for postage. Seems like a ripoff to me.

    Or you could it from here for £16.89 delivered - have been getting my daily clicks on Quidco (HSW) and came across this site and they seem really cheap.

    Looks perfectly fair to me

    recorded is around 68p
    postage around 32p
    the rest is for packaging

    Hardly a ripoff. Many companies charge way over the odds (£5+) for items like this.

    also you have to include a 99p discount delivery item in order to get 99p delivery. Still, not bad offer.

    Read the original post properly - it's not their 99p if you buy a discount delivery product, you enter a code and it takes the shipping down to 99p irrespective of what you've bought.

    The stuff in their discount delivery section is not so great!
    The thanks button is here to the right. If you find a post saves you money, gives you useful information, or you agree with it, take a second to thank the poster! :)

    I've bought the TDK outsloud and the Infiniti White-Top (8x) DVD-R before from the discount delivery sub-section rather than pay the full delivery price. Both were surprisingly good value for money as well as giving me cheap delivery :T

    I'll be ordering this weekend while 99p delivery is on.

    Thanks for posting this as I don't seem to have got an email from SVP making me awre that this offer is on.
    Maybe they don't want existing customers to know? :confused: (Did anyone else get told by email from SVP?)
