Free tesco direct delivery

Options
This morning I wanted to order a bulky item on tesco direct that couldn't be collected in store. After much searching I found a way to get around the £5 fee.
If you buy a £9.71 phone (Samsung E1120) delivery for the whole order works out free (tesco direct ongoing offer). However the problem I faced was getting rid of the phone. I found that CEX will buy the phone for £11 cash or £14 trade in. You even get sent a freepost jiffy bag for your phone. A modest £1.29 profit and free delivery :)

HTH someone.

If this is on the wrong board then sorry!

    why didnt you just return it back to the shop without any hassle?

    Could well have done. Just don't regularly go to my local tesco and wouldn't want to go through the tesco direct returns procedure. Others may well prefer to do this :)
  • WOW nice tip thanks!!!! I just did that and signed up for CEX too...I hate paying for delivery lol but I live about 25 miles from the nearest store with a tesco direct desk. Theres a tesco superstore down the road from me but they don't have one tsk
    Won't buy nuffink without a discount :p

    It's just a shame that they stopped the free delivery on sim cards! This could be a very handy tip though, thanks.

    It is very annoying when you have one of the biggest Tesco's in the country ten minutes' walk away, but have to travel about 10 miles to pick up something from Tesco Direct! I have never quite understood the logic in the way they do this.
