    I've been Money Tipped!
    I just bought the lantern which is reduced from £19.50 to £7, really chuffed as it was something I wanted earlier in the summer but never got around to buying - http://www.marksandspencer.com/Marks-and-Spencer-Large-Lantern/dp/B004FSUM2O?ie=UTF8&ref=sr_1_5&nodeId=547544031&sr=1-5&qid=1311073499

    One thing I bought but wish I'd waited for, is this -

    It's lovely on your garden table and a bargin at £7

    save on postage add a cheap school item and use UNIFORMS for free delivery i added a pack of five sports socks reduced to £1 with 20% off (meaning they are in the schoolwear offer)making them 80p far better than the £3.50 postage xx

    You're a clever one! :D

    These go into my basket without the 20% off that is advertised, AND the free postage code does not work on them!

    EDIT - Having found a school item that activates the free delivery code, it only discounts a proportion of the delivery charge if you are ordering other items as well, for example my school item costs £2 but I have a basket of £20 and they have just knocked 39p off the £3.50 delivery charge. This is how I have understood it to have been for some time. So having read your post above I thought they had moved the goalposts but unfortunately not. I will not be ordering!

    strange but the £3.50 voucher was in my basket and applied ...i assumed from adding a schoolwear item but have just re tried it and as you stated it is only a proportion...i assume i had a voucher in my account from ages ago as the delivery was free!!!! ...oh well nevermind.

    I was trying to order some summer school dresses for my daughter for next year as they are reduced to £2 from £8 which seemed a great price especially as the website says that there is free delivery on school unform by using the code.

    However when I went to check out it said that my order did not meet the criteria of the offer even though they are definately school dresses. Rang customer services who agreed it should have worked and they took the delivery off for me.

    Am very happy as got 3 summer dresses for £6 in total!
