    If you search on cadbury roses, and try to order the 1kg tin, which is what that item number above is for...you get a message saying...
    We are sorry, this item is no longer available for this catalogue. Please choose an alternative

    You will be invoiced for the delivery.

    They will probably be credit checking you and setting up an account for you that you don't want/need.

    They will send you a bill in the new year for the delivery.

    If you dispute or don't pay the bill (or don't receive the bill which has happened to quite a few people), they will slap you with a late payment charge (I think it's £20 from memory)

    You will only get 1 tin of choccies (if you are lucky as this promo has been running for months and they may have run out).

    There is already a thread on this.

    Loads of MSE'rs have been caught out by this. Sometimes it's worth looking into things before jumping in with both feet.

  • I was able to order about 16 tins of roses, although i dont know if they will come. and it didnt ask me for any credit/debit card details, so it would be great if they came - although 16 tins is a bit greedy, so everyone in my family will be getting tins of roses for any birthdays etc in the near future!!!

    :D

  • the link isnt working..
  • yeah i just read your post after id typed mine although thankfully i didnt give any credit/debit card details! altho im sure they could still try to charge me :rolleyes:
  • Ok, thanks everyone. I guess I should cancel the order.
  • I did this, but only ordered one tin. It came within a few days, along with a bill for postage, which was about £4.50, which I just paid straight away. So they aren't really free, but is still cheaper than buying them - the RRP for this size tin is about £10, although you can probably find them cheaper than this. But I'm not sure what will happen if you've ordered more than one tin, I expect it will be limited to one per customer - a joining gift or something.
