Empire Stores free gift - genuine?

Apologies if this shouldn't be posted here.

I got a brochure from Empire Stores today offering an electrical free gift (choice of 8) with my next order (within 8 days - erm, sort of Quick! Grabbit??) as long as I included a particular gift code (in brochure).

Has anyone else received this? Or even tried the gift code and received the electrical free gift?

I don't know whether to believe such a thing or not! Would the company really give me a dishwasher (one of the 8 on offer) if I ordered a £9.99 T-shirt? There are no T&C included :P

Any comments or thoughts welcomed. Thanks :)

    Sometimes there is something cheaper in between all the expensive gifts and that might be the one you get. It's to get you ordering. Anyway you can always send what you've ordered back if you didn't really want it. I had something like that last year.
    No reliance should be placed on the above.

    wouldnt touch empire stores again after my experience......ordered £1000 worth of stuff.....strangely most of it was out of stock......but they sent 3 items...which they tried to charge full price for instead of sale price less 30% discount code......

    took 2.5 months to get the monet back and only after id reported them to Trading standards.

    Sorry, Pat_ :) I have to admit I thought of posting it on Anything Else board but the Quick! Grabbit board is more popular!

    Thanks to everyone else for their replies - I decided to bin it! would've loved the new toaster though

    I just got my offers today. I might order something small and return it, just out of curiosity to see what free gift they'll send me.

    Just ordered, I entered my code and then pressed enter and it showed me what I was getting. It's a juicer. I wonder if we all got the same codes!!!! Are we allowed to post them on here??????
