30 greeting cards £14 on groupon BUT checkout says £12.60 delivered without voucher

clairibel

Thought this might interest some, you need to add £3.49 postage but 30 cards seems good for £14. EDIT see post below by JC9297, the cards are actually going through checkout at £12.60 delivered rather than the £17.49 with the groupon voucher. CLICK ON LINK AT BOTTOM OF MY POST AND CHECKOUT.

Really even better, thanks for that :beer: I didn't click through as i have just cancelled my card and cannot buy anything.

Good spot because basically with the groupon thing they have upped their prices with delivery as it does say free on £4 spend on the site...naughty!

Not sure where the 10% comes from but i would buy quick before they realize their error!

I received the email from Groupon and was interested to know more about the quality of cards, so went to card site for a look. Better selection of cards available and free delivery if you spend £4. The pack choice of cards can be bought with a 10% discount which is automatically applied at checkout.

I'm interested in this offer but the link is now showing £14 and out-of-stock until tomorrow. Have they changed the site now or am I missing something? Thanks.

Guess they've caught on

Didn't take them long must have been all the orders going through when the voucher is on...again another groupon swindle!:mad: These companies do themselves no favours.

Just wait til the voucher has finished and try to see if the stock magically appears with free del and %.

that is really bad They want to charge you £17 odd for items you could previously get for £12.60 and postage is free on £4 spend....very wrong! :mad:

chum

Thanks clairibel

What is really odd - re-reading their cancellation email: is my translation correct that I could order the Groupon deal, order £4+ of other cards and not pay the Groupon postage charge?

It is certainly very odd how the company have reacted........:(
