    thats impossible. why would they allow the free gift code to work at the checkout if it wasnt available?

    ps. are the words on their catalogue saying "Free with every order" not misleading if this only applies to orders over the phone?
    Excellent Point :T I wonder whether I'll get mine today, being a saturday :think: :wall:

    I got the cd player by ordering a 19p ruler over the internet (it did say in their catalogue tho free with any order over £39)....i just tried my luck and got it. I also got the speakers with a 49p glue stick over the internet (dunno if it had anything about ordering over a certain amount with the speakers)

    Ive touched lucky by the sound of things, i also recieved packages by next day delivery.

    OK well if the package is small enough to only contain a ruler I won't sign for it ;)

    Can you confirm that you ordered fron neatideas on the internet and got the speakers - i.e. completely contradicting the earlier statement about being a 'phone only' promotion...

    I wont use them again I've still not recieved an email from them regarding the order being canceld so for me c-r-@-p company that tells me order is canceld when I ring it not like I asked for free credit and even then my credit is clean.

    I once orderd a 14p optical mouse with free printer catridge p+p 3.50 from inkclub.com still use the mouse and inkclub.

    goodluck to people who recieved their goods.
  • Hi,

    Ordered a 6 inch ruler and entered 3 free gift codes, Surround sound, cd player and some A4 folders.

    Grand total, incl. delivery £3.16.

    Ordered on 6/9/2006. Still received nothing, and nothing has been debited from my bank account.

    No confirmation emails, nothing. Poor company in my view.

    What should I do now?:mad:
  • Ordered the same as SuperSaverSmith this morning 11 Sept, just have to wait and see.

    Order total £3.16

    hey everyone,

    just to let you know that i got a phonecall from neat ideas this morning. They said that my card had been declined because of a wrong digit or something so i had to give my details again.

    Once i had gone through that process i asked whether i would receive my free gift as if a glue stick came on itself i didnt want it and she said that "the operator has included a free gift so yes".

    No mention of my first order though which was for a ruler.. nice of them to tell me it had been cancelled.

    I doubt i'll get anything but a glue stick but we'll see, im going to hold out until tomorrow..

    Good Luck everyone and continue to post your success/failure stories.
