Thanks for this Martin, bit slow off the mark though hehe... helped me a lot though...

Had a few French books to get for my course that I'd forgotten about, and needed them for the next day, but I rather balked at the idea of paying £8.99 for next-day delivery... so added this for free and presto, got them last Tuesday at 9.30am! Just in time for me to get to Uni, and show everyone that I hadn't read the damn books!!!! LOL

But it did work for over £8.99, cause my three French books came to £23.45 (and I had 4x £5.00 Amazon vouchers as well, for my pains at Valued Opinions! Oh Yeah!)

So cheers again, and keep em coming!

You should have been able to change the type of delivery you wanted on checkout.If not try going back to your account and changing it there if it's still an open order:)

It just had the 1st class, no express. It could be because the other book was under £7. lol.

Sorry to be a wet blanket and all that but don't you think that's taking advantage of the loophole a bit too much though

It's stuff like thats more likely to get Amazon to close down the loophole alltogether then everyone else misses out.

I don't think it is. I've just ordered a small book using the "loophole" and they wanted to charge £8.99 for next day delivery when in fact it would only cost around £4.50 I think it is for next day Royal Mail Special. All the extra money they are making from people using this next day service, I think we should use the opportunity to get some of it back!

Just did an order, it worked great. Thanks for the tip!

And also remember like i said above alot of us ordered the keyboard and mouse from them last week and got free next day express delivery for free.If they weren't happy about it they could have stopped it by now;)
