    Does this really need to be posted on the grabbit board?

    Thanks for the heads up I've recently had a delivery from them so I shall certainly be keeping an eye on my account to make sure I don't get charged for this. I wouldn't have known about this if it hadn't been on this board I'm having enough problem with Additions (Littlewoods) at the moment, so I don't need any other retailer problems. I'm beginning to think its safer and less hassle to just physically go into a store and shop
  • I had the same problem, contacted them and they refunded me. Was always curious as to why i had free next day delivery for 12months, then realised when i got billed for £49.
