    I got a photobook from photobox when groupon did an offer in May, I think, I got the book no problem and am very pleased with it. Some of the groupon offers do work. Hope this one works out for everyone.
    Sell £1500

    Boots stopped this offer a while ago

    Sorry, didn't know, I picked up an order two weeks ago and it still had the coupon.

    Then surely MSE need to stop sending moneysavers their way?!
    Don't get me wrong, im addicted to MSE, and this is the only time ive come unstuck, but these companies also need to be warned about and especially not promoted!



    ^^^^^^^^^^^^

    I didn't say it but very good point.

    Yes. They need to be warned about not fed money.

    It doesn't work & will not work.
    Not Again
  • I did this as I see it on here and recomended to a friend thought it would be fine as in the weekly email. I got the email to say will be sent by other means and they will contact me, im still waiting to hear anything. Feeling pretty dissapointed hoping my friend has got her's through as we are both on a tight budget but wanted to get my pics done as I have a new baby and have about a years worth of photos.

    I just spent hours on photobox.com after receiving my code as promised. I then inputted the code and it took the £30 off my balance. Then I tried another code (20% off) and it took the £30 discount away and replaced with a £6 one..... So I removed the £6 discount and tried the £30 again only to be given a message saying you could only use the code once. I've just e-mailed them to ask them to fix this so fingers crossed they do!
  • For the sake of fairness to Groupon, I just wanted to say that I have successfully purchased and used vouchers for:

    A Thai massage
    A spa day
    A facial
    and
    An expensive hair colour and cut

    I have a voucher for a combined massage and facial and the therapist has just fallen and broken her arm. Before she could get in touch to cancel Groupon emailed and explained this. When she called she said how helpful they were being too.

    So, although this offer is a massive !!!! up, they do manage some good work

    Was just given the £30 discount and have ordered 250 prints and two small photobooks, all for £19 inc delivery (and the £8 I originally paid). Bargain!
