Sneakily avoid Amazon shipping fees

kevinl_3

Be wary do not use marketplace sellers for buying cd's if you spend over £15 but a different supplier you will get delivery cgharge for each item.

I've noticed that you can get free postage with Amazon if you spend £14.94 or above the extra 6p may include more items to act as fillers! Hope this helps.:beer:

This filleritem site was posted here by biddy79uk on 27/10/06.

As one can see, it hardly received much of a view/responses (& some ingrates as well. Funny, nobody dare say anything negative or ungrateful here :rolleyes:).

Perhaps there should be an area in the forum where people can post MSE member's links to similar 'good' finds, so they can be 'better presented' by Martin (as was done in this post) or the mods? G

NECTAR CARD HOLDERS!!!

I'm not sure why Martin or anyone else never mentions this, but if you're a Nectar card holder then you can also get 2 points for every £1 spent at amazon.co.uk and lots and lots of other online retailers.

Simply go to the Nectar card website http://www.nectarcard.com and register online, and go to the Nectar eStores page. There's a permalink for it at the top of the Nectar card website. From there, link through to your e-tailer of choice and you'll get the points. Notable stores include;

play.com
B&Q
CD Wow
HMV
Firebox.com
Dell (computers)
Apple (computers)
iTunes music store
Debenhams
Comet
Dixons
Currys
PC World

Christmas is coming - get those points!!! :beer:

Thanks for the tip! As a dedicated 'saver shopper' I always try to get used books & DVDs and always end up paying p&p, but always bargains.
Now thanks to you I have an ace up my sleeve and when I buy a present-full price- I know how to do it AND save!
Thank you.

Thank you for another invaluable tips. : I really think that Martin should be considered for an OBE for all the money he is saving for the consumers.

So let me see if I've got this right.

I can buy my girlfriend a hair dryer for christmas & get myself an xbox 360 as a filler thus qualifying for free delivery of the hair dryer

Seriously - thanks for the link :T

lightwave - I had no idea about that nectar business, can you get the points after buying from reciepts, I recently bought a laptop, desktop & PDA from dell but didn't know I could get points for them

cheers,
worto.

edit - bah doesn't look like it

'Dell specialises in custom configuration of PCs, portables and servers. Build your own PC. Get the best value with latest technology.
Collect double points when you shop at Dell through Nectar eStores until 30th November 2006 - that's 4 points per £1. Please note, points can only be awarded for transactions completed online through Nectar eStores. It is not possible to earn points on transactions made through the "Dell outlet" store. Points will not be awarded on the cost of delivery. The bonus points you earn during the promotion will be awarded separately to your account by 31st January 20
'

Thats over 4000 points I've missed out on from dell alone

This is an excellent thread. Many times mysef and my daughter have been searching for silly little amounts to make an order up.

Thanks very much:T

Brilliant tip! However just noticed that Amazon will give you free delivery on amounts just under 15 quid, just bought 3 things for 4.99 each and got free delivery. I dont think they used to do this before?? Anyway means you dont have to worry about looking for fillers in that situation!
