    Didn't try it instore today because when I looked at my electricals voucher it said '£5 off a £30 spend'. Does anyone know if this voucher also 'sees' the original price? TIA

    About 10 days ago I went in store and it was £24.99, I went to a SS till as I wanted to try and get 2 GWP, I thought it had accepted both GWP ok so went to pay. YES it did accept the £5 of a £30 spend on electricals so I think it did see the original price but before I could actually pay it said that there was a problem with my shopping, something like an unregistered item in the bag, after much waiting a SA checked and said it was because I had 2 GWP's and I was only allowed 1. I completely cancelled the purchase.

    I did move one of the items in the bag before paying so I don't know if that caused a problem, when you use SS in Tesco if you put something in your bag and then move it about to make packing the bag better it flashes up 'unexpected item in the packing area' so I'm not sure if the til was being very sensitive as I'd moved something or if it was because I'd got 2 GWP's. I would have it expected it to have rejected the 2nd GWP when I scanned so unsure if it will let you have 2 with the mirror or not. My local store doesn't have SS so I'm unlikely to try it again. Hopefully someone will have more luck - just don't mess with your shopping once you've scanned it.

    So the £5 off does work on less than £30 spend.

    Feeling a bit dumb this afternoon but what are GWPs?

    GWP = gift with purchase
  • Apologies if the 2 x GWPs didn't work - I'm only remembering what happened when I bought it last year, and things may have changed since then. But still a good deal, even if you only get one GWP. As the mirrors are in the original packaging of 2, or perhaps it was 3 years ago, I reckon they have a warehouse full!

  • Pop your advantage card into one of the kiosks in store and you can update your address, or check it is going to the right one!
  • Also works with all other items on this list that have a 'was' price over £22..ie, manicure set, pedicure etc etc.

    Even though the 2 GWP's didn't work for me I'd suggest trying it as I really think it was more to do with me adjusting my shopping once I'd put it in the bag. I honestly expected both to go through fine, I remember a couple of years ago when the the OOTW was the No7 box and it was on 3for 2 as well. The GWP's went through then as if the boxes were full price, I got a fair few with my purchases. As you say Sandra still a good deal with just 1 GWP. After cancelling my purchase in the shop I ordered it online and picked it up from a store on my way home from work and only had to carry it a short distance. Hope DD finds it useful, there was 3 of us trying to get ready in front of the mirror in my room last night as the lights better there.
  • Hello.

    I'm trying to order the No7 hand size body massager to get the free gift. My mum wants the free gift for Christmas so I'm trying to find the cheapest way to get it :)

    Problem is I can't figure out how to get it delivered in store. The only choices it gives me is standard, next day and 2 others I can't remember right now.

    Any one got any ideas?

    Thanks :)

    If you look at your delivery details in checkout, it gives you the option to edit them. Click on edit and look for store delivery. If you have never had anything deleivered to store before you will have to search for your nearest store. Once you save the new delievery details it will remember them.

    Wherever you have had your delivery sent to will show as a default next time you place an order, (So you may have to alter it again if you want home delivery next time)

    Good luck. :)
