    Does anyone know how long these paints will keep if I don't open their lids? x

    Was asking myself this...thanks.

    I'm not sure I've ended up with much of a bargain, had to pay delivery as my local store is not on the list. Placed 2 orders as the glitch wasnt working on the paper but did when i tried a 2nd time and i got yellow paint come up, I think overall I've probably only saved a fiver, oh well better than nowt and I wont feel like I missed this glitch even though it hasnt saved me much at all. :o

    ooo i've just ordered one of each of the paints, some paper, some tracing paper, 14 items in total, i did it by clicking on something (paint 1st i think) then at the bottom of the page it says you might like to try.... it lets you click add to basket straight from there!!!!!

    if i don't get it (as i know when you actually click on the item it says out of stock) it was worth a try anyway!!!

    thanks op and fingers crossed!!:D
    thanks! just tried this and got 8 paints, didnt get the yellow or pink though. i noted that other things popped up too like the glue spreaders and mr maker felt tips. we shall see what turns up!

    Thank you so much for the tip on how to get them in to yor basket. I had been popping on to the site through the day to check if anything had come back in stock with no luck. Now i have been able to stock up on some art supplies. :j

    Just a note that the same thing happens for other offers with the 20% coming off the full price first. I have managed to get a good collection of happyland using the same method to get OOS items through checkout. :j :j :j

    I hope it all goes through ok. On one hand I'm excited that I've manged to get these, but on the other I'm not looking forward to collecting all the boxes. The staff wont liike me LOL.

    Click on something thats in stock, add to basket and then at the bottom the you might like comes up with the add to basket against the paints, remove the item from basket that you didnt want and checkout the paints :) worth a try we might get them.

    THANK YOU SO MUCH for this tip!! just managed to order some mega-bargain art supplies for my little boy by doing this. So grateful!

    Hiya, thanks for the tip on how to get the paint into your online basket but afraid it still isn't working for me! I've added something in stock to my basket and the paints do then show up underneath but instead of 'add to basket' it's saying 'view details', then when you click on the item it says 'temporarily out of stock online'. Seems from the time of others posts that maybe stuff comes back into stock in the mornings? ~ still hoping to get some paints, haven't given up hope yet!

    Just had a few dispatch email but one cancellation for a green paint and an orange :( it says I have to get a refund in store and to take the email with me, why not an automatic refund I don't know
