    I've tried to order them but it says when I put the code in:

    The voucher you entered cannot be used at this time.

    Please check the information you received with the voucher. Vouchers can often only be used within a specific time period.

    The paper just says it needs to redeemed by tomorrow - 1st come, 1st served basis.

    Bit annoying - I only bought the paper for this! Play give their CS number after the text above but they're not open until 9am. I'll let you know when I know further.
    what an absolute waste of time.Code wasnt working yesterday and as loads of us found out.!!
    Customer services told everyone deal was vaild on Monday only .Yet it appears they open the offer on Sunday eve for 10 mins.Used be be a customer of Play ,but sorry will take my business elsewhere from now on.This reminds me of the Hoover offer years ago which did unrepairable damage to the company,or am just overreacting to a stupid Dailystar/play.com promotion which didnt really happen lol Feel better now for getting off my chest !!lol

    Hi

    Try BOAT and see if that works.

    (The codeword is actually from the Sunday Mirror but it's likely to be the same for the Sunday Mail as both newspapers are related.)

    *Thanks to Barneydog in Post #5 for the codeword.*

    Has anyone received their headphones yet? I kinda expected to receive them today as Play usually deliver in two days. Mind you, they were probably inundated with orders.

    Biting is excellent. It's like kissing, only there's a winner.

    Not received them yet either. Although I did get an "Your order has been posted" email from them on Sunday night.

    I've not bought anything from Play.com for 2 years so not up to speed on their current delivery times.

    Mine came today too, but unless you're in when Mr. Postie comes around you'll almost certainly be getting a card through your letterbox and then taking a trip to the sorting office to collect your package :)

    The headphones are in a blister pack that measures 185mm x 82mm x 28mm
    (that's about 7.25in x 3.25in x 1.1in in "old money")

    which probably would pop through most people's letterbox even in a jiffy bag .....

    ... mine came in a box .....


    280mm x 375mm x 40mm :eek: :eek:

    That's 11in x 14.75in x 1.55in :eek: :eek:

    Could actually have got 8 of the headphones in the same box quite easily :)

    There are 10 types of people in the world. ‹(•¿•)›

    Veni, Vidi, VISA ! ................. I came, I saw, I PURCHASED

    Mine came today too in the same size box!

    In fact it didn't come with the usual postman, it came separately this afternoon in a Royal Mail van on the parcel round.

    Looks like the packer at Play.com couldn't be bothered to fold the A4 sized invoice to put in a jiffy bag! :rotfl:
