    I always wonder why people go crazy with glitches like this and get greedy - I have been trying to buy a dress and tried to use the 20% code - I have been wanting the dress for a while and was waiting for a decent code - if this hadn't been spoiled by others, then maybe those who actually intended a little saving would have been able to.

    To be fair, most people use it for one order, only a few will go nuts. However the traffic sent from this site (even if you do only use it minimally) is high enough for them to realise quickly anyway. I don't think it makes a difference imho.

    I think the only way to "test" the theory is or someone to notice a glitch and NOT post it on MSE to be honest! See if it works then.

    Darn the un-selfishness of the OP really!! LOL :D If they'd kept it to themselves they might have got their items.

    Second order cancelled, they've given up the oos excuse, it's now;
    We take the security of our customers very seriously and to protect it we routinely check for anything that gives us cause for concern. As a result unfortunately we have had to cancel your order (no. ), which of course you have not been charged for.

    Aw well, I guess expecting them to honour this was far too good to be true!

    Oh, and I HAD already been charged for it because I got a paypal refund email soon after! Fibbers!

    many a times ive wanted to say that when someone generously shares with us its always to best get your item at least depatched or confirmed before letting the cat out the bag on the deal...another tip is to order a (where applicable)a duplicate item incase one is faulty as you know its gonna be out of stock when the deals been discussed on mse.
