should be free unless you are trying to get next day delivery or something.

Nope not next day - I dont have an account does that make a difference?

Ive just ordered one ,im not a customer just added item to bag , there was an opition which says pay by debit card then it takes you through the payment process . When it came to delivery there is a drop down menu ,the one which says for delivery between i think it was 8am - 9pm any day seems to be free, mines only being delivered next friday but on the drop down menu if you opt for a pacific day/time then theres a delivery charge

I think it's automatically set to free delivery.

Yep thats what Uvw got but weven when you select the free one its still showing 4.95 charge. i went to the next page to see if it dropped off but it didnt.. boo.. I'll maybe retry from the beginning again and see if that works.

Wow that is organised, I mustnt make the same as last year, ended up stashing all pressies bought throughout year, then forgetting what I had bought! and then doubling up on some pressies... doh! not very mse :rotfl:

Actually finished now for everyone but my Son and Husband :eek:

Would it be a shock to say that I also have a Spreadsheet to keep track of Birthday's and Christmas as I HM Cards and Birthday Gifts and at Christmas I HM Calanders and Baked Goods so I have to be organised!

On the bright side... I spend £90 on £425 worth of gifts!!! Very MsE!:T

Hi, I've just received my road kit. It is a bargain for £7! The flexible track is easy to click together and the sounds made by the crocodile keep my 3 year old amused.

However, there are so many little niggly annoying things about it that I'm glad I only paid £7 for it!:

- The tracks fall apart at the slightest knock.
- The cars are really zippy, but their rear wheel drive makes it so difficult for toddlers to put them on the tracks without the car jumping off the tracks.
- You have to get the curves coming off the hill just right or the cars drive straight over the edge of the tracks.
- The red bridge struts don't click onto the track well enough, so the bridge keeps falling down.
- If the track gets moved at all once you've got it set up correctly, you can bet the cars won't be able to make it round the corners or up the slope and will just zip off the track again.
- If a child holds the car on the track before letting it go, the power of the wheels turning is such that it eats up the track, pulling whole sections of it apart!

All in all, my 3 year old enjoyed it but I needed to be around all the time to repair it and help her get the car going on the track in the first place. It won't get played with much as she can't set it up or play with it without assistance all the time.

Note that I'm not complaining, just giving my feedback to anyone considering getting it - I expect it would work better for the 4 -6 age group than the 2-4 age group as they would be more able to repair and construct the set correctly.
