I haven't used them before. They have done a big page ad in the times and telegraph others have said. They sell the latest dyson for £99.99 too. I would say maybe try one box of envelopes and if they turn up, maybe go for some more and if they don't think of it as being just £4 lost. I'd Rather £4 that £99.99!!! The only reason i haven't bought from them is because they only take cheques or bank transfer (i think) and no Debit Cards and i only have a debit card.

If you use a LOT of Jiffy bags Viking Direct have them on three boxes for the price of 2 all the time.Loving the dtd thread. x0
