You can get 10% off as a student - do you know any uni or school students. You go to the website store and it's an option on the side. That should knock a bit off for you! (£219 down to £200.93)

(just realised - shouldn't this be on a different board?!)

Thanks for the reply. What board should this be posted on? I wanted to get it from apple.com (America) as it is cheaper there.

I have seen somebody selling a link on ebay to get 20% off retail store prices, anybody know what the site it

The link to the ebay auction is:

Thanks for all your help.

This should probably be posted on the Online Vouchers board.

Be Careful: The prices may be cheaper at Apple.com but you will be liable for customs tax when it arrives over here. The post office will charge you & it could be a lot of money. I once had to pay £18 customs charge for some CDs that were shipped over. The post office said that you have to pay it if HMCustoms want to open it. They don't open everything apparently, so you might be lucky but it's often not worth the risk for the extra money.

Thanks for the advice. Nut i am getting my uncle and aunt to bring it with them when they come, it can be called a "gift". Or if that doesent work they could say its reconditioned. Thanks for all your help anyway.

P.S I cant find the vouchers forum, could you please post the link?

Just posted this on another thread but don't know the best way to put the link to it here so will just repeat

try http://www.savvydeals.co.uk/ it's run by Morgan Stanley credit cards and you can get 10% of an IPOD and £50 off a mac if you buy with one of their cards.

Haven't used it yet myself

Hope that helps

John Lewis is a good deal at mo with free delivery on a 20gb and code "bbcgoodfood4" will get you another £10 off bringing it to £199

I would check customs and excise because they will charge duty on any purchase of £18 or more, or any gift worth £36 or more. Clearly the iPod fails on both counts! Not sure how much it is but I think it is a % of the total value so it could be quite a bit.

By the way, I got a £20 (I think) off voucher for signing up to iTunes store - not that I've bought anything, I just wanted the free audio player. Might be worth a go as it doesn't cost you anything to register and the iTunes player is very cool.
