  • I have just received an email cancelling my order because they could not verify that I was ordering on behalf of a business. Strange because they are quite happy to send a catalogue every month.

    The scales were a good ofer, but I am not sure that I can be bothered to persue this one.

    I have just ordered this from the web site.

    You have to prefix the gift code with the catalogue/leaflet number. So the gift code that you need to enter is: P47-67538.

    (Alternative gift P46-69004 - Picnic Coolbag Set. Other gifts available for larger purchases.)

    I've just been cheeky and put both codes in, both were accepted! I can't wait to see what I get.

    I tried this once before with previous offers. Only one got delivered and I had to put in another order to get the other one. Some people got away with it though.

    So you may get away with it. Good luck!

    I went for the CD player and have just been told my order was despatched. When i filled in the address when ordering the item I just put in N/A as it was for personal use. Maybe they didnt cancel it because i spent a fair amount(£30).

    Mine arrived but it was just a ruler.... I called them and explained that I seem to be missing the free gift? The lady said that I had to spend £39 to get it, I said that it didn't say that in my leaflet. She said "Oh ok it will be with you within the next few days"

    So call if you don't get your scales... :-)

    NOW
    WAIT - READ ON


    If, on the other hand you ring Neat Ideas and place an order for ANYTHING they will send you the same scales!

    They are, in fact the same company and the chap from staples gave me this info! Shhh!!

    O.k, Neat Ideas No is 0800 500192.

    code for scales is 67538 and it was on leaflet no P47.

    A ruler for 39p did me. (Do a search) Plus about £2.50 P&P
