Well to be honest I didn't even send many to myself, but you could order in advance so I made sure all of my friends and family had some nice flowers for a few weeks, as I have been poorly for the past year so I was being kind to other people. I would have been gutted if I had ordered the flowers and paid £20 per bunch, they were pants and thats why I ordered more than one bunch to make them look pretty...

I think i have an idea of which company you are talking about. I have been wondering if to try it out or not, since the cost comes to £0.00 instead of just over £20.

Ill think ill give it a miss now.

Hope things turn out ok,

Yep you have the right company, but they have changed their computer system and it does not accept the code any more cheers C x

So what's the actual amount of money they are asking for.... 50 flowers and chocolates... £1000 approx.???

What made you order 50 bunchs of flowers and boxes of chocolate? were they all delivered to you?

They want about £1300! and I only got a few bunches, made my friend and families days though when they recieved them, :eek:

For what its worth I would ignore the letter for now - its their fault that they sent so many flowers and chocs out for nothing but...... two wrongs dont make it right - you shouldnt have ordered so many - may have got away with a few but 50 ........

Lecture over! Hope it turns out OK for you and try not to worry.

It looks complicated, and you certainly need proper advice. However, even if that advice says you’re liable, you can only ever be liable for what they’ve lost. That is, if each order cost them £10, that’s the most you can be liable for, not the £20, which includes their profit margin.

still loads of money for your average joe public
I think you will find that discount internet codes are so new there will not be any Legal t&c's....but the more people abuse the system the sooner it will be a criminal offence....and what should be a little discount for all will soon be stopped....
What was so wrong with sending a thank-you card to all your helpers....
Believe me you are not the only one...you only need to look at the littlewoods and LX discount threads to see how many people are abusing codes....but the thing is it totally goes against what this website is about...and I would hate for this to be shut down....and yes I have used a few codes on here that weren't meant for general use...so maybe I should keep quiet ....The chances for saving a few pennies come quite often on here,so there is no need to abuse it....
I'm not having a go and wish you well....
