Amazon Under £15 Free Delivery Loophole

competitionscafe

Amazon sent me an e-mail saying that there was a problem with my credit card and I needed to enter an alternative card number - I did this and £32 in delivery charges were added to the order. Have now cancelled the entire order (spent ages on Monday doing my Xmas shopping). So watch out that massive delivery charges are not added to your order retrospectively. Will now have to go and do my Xmas shopping elsewhere. I think this is a bit out of order by amazon when Martin had checked with them and they had said they were okay with the loophole.

Egg-sell-ent! -_^ (Egg: Sandwiches... Sell: the.... oh you get it!!!) *groans*

Got me Dad's final christmas pressie using this! Cheers Martin! I used Super Saver Delivery with it for a great saving!!

NOTE: My initial balance was £15.96, and I selected Super Saver Delivery after entering the code... it worked then. The book, the DVD and the delivery just for the price of the DVD.. which I would have ordered anyway!

I tried ordering Martin's book at the same time, but it didn't let me have free delivery, just discounted the "excess" and left £2.75 payable. Ordering the offer alone was competely free. I'm sure I'll be wanting something close to Christmas to make up the rest of the order.

Didn't work for me. Put in the hellmans book plus another item for £4.99 and it actually tried to charge me £3.34 total postage, that's 59p delivery charge for the book. So it would be cheaper just to buy the item I wanted in the first place and pay postage.

looks like the loophole has been closed, order two books yesterday which were instock yessterday and got the free delivery and came into and found that the items were no longer instock and when I reordered they just take the price of the book and 59p off delivery

Yes, pretty sure it's gone now.

Didn't work for me, either. Oh, well.

same for me, looks like it's a 59p discount on delivery now for everyone :rolleyes:

This is not working for me. Grouping items together, and using first class postage, it is saying postage is £3.34, and the free shipping removes only £0.59 of this.

However, if I remove the other item being ordered (a book), the postage is reduced to £2.75, and all of this is refunded.

So I'll just take the free book and buy the other book elsewhere.

And as they've stopped this, I'll probably use own brand mayo now instead of Hellmanns.

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.

Taking advantage of a multi-million pound corporation - I won't sleep tonight crying my ickle eyes out. Mommy, mommy, hold me close, I logged onto the internet and a picture of a man looked at me. :eek:
