    They normally allow you to cancel non-despatched items without penalty.

    Let's face it - they haven't even spotted (or stopped) the current glitch which gives you a discount as well as the free book and free delivery! :D

  • i've just ordered using the code. however, as the hellmans book is pre-order it says estimated delivery date of 20th Feb 07?!!

    As i wanted the free super saver delivery i chose to have the items despatched together. Choosing to have them despatched separately i would have had to pay for delivery.

    Will they really take that long to deliver the items???
  • I think amazon may have noticed this but are allowing it to continue as it generates more business for them, just my twopeneth worth

    Just used HELLMANAMZN6, and got another order with free delivery and money off ! :)
    2 baby toys, and another hellmans book, for £7.04 :):)
    I opted for supersaver free delivery as these toysare to be put by for babys first birthday.handy way to buy things in advance :)
    Lovely!

  • I just placed an order for an audio CD £8 plus Helmans book at £5.99 and made up to over £15 to get free delivery. When I used the Helmans code it took off the delivery charge that I wasn't paying! Yipee. Total cost only just over £5.

    Merrry Christmas Martin and thank you.

    (Unfortunately, they keep changing the delivery times for previous order and 1/2 my Christmas pressies won't arrive in time :mad: )

    Hi

    Place my order Sat and had confirmation e-mail - Order Total £12.36 and would arrive in 1 delivery.

    Received the following e-mail today stating:

    Ordered Title Price Dispatched Subtotal

    Amazon.co.uk items (Sold by Amazon EU S.a.r.L.):

    1 Your Sandwich Made It! £5.99 1 £5.99

    Shipped via Royal Mail (estimated arrival date: 22-December-2006).

    Subtotal: £5.99
    Delivery Charge: £0.00
    Hellmanns £-2.65

    Total: £3.34

    The following items will be sent separately:
    Ordered Title Price On order
    1 Kingston Technology 2GB Secur £16.18 1

    Any idea what this means? Looks like they have only allowed me £2.65 off the book?

    Regards

    I ordered something using this on Sunday, and it said that the two items would be shipped separately as the book was out of stock temporarily. This was great as the item I ordered was an Xmas present which I needed by Friday. I selected and paid for the £3 First Class rather than the Super Saver delivery due to the time frames, but now the tracking page is saying they will both ship when the Hellmans book is available (21st) with ETA on delivery of 23rd (Saturday)!

    Not sure if I missed something, but it definitely stated they would be shipped separately after at checkout with all promo codes added on :(
