    Well - today I received my two free items the ice bucket and glasses - only problem is that the ice bucket is smashed (badly packed). I can't see there being anyway I can phone up and ask it to be replaced, when I didn't pay anything for it.

    the glasses are nice but I wouldn't have paid much for them anyway. the ice bucket is fairly substantial. I'm going to keep it for a while in case the catch up with me :D

    The item I paid for hasn't been delivered yet but that has a longer lead time on it.

    Biting is excellent. It's like kissing, only there's a winner.
  • got 16 glasses and a photo frame :)

    I received my paid for item and it's really good.

    Thought I would chance it by phoning up about the ice bucket. They said that there had been a blip on their website and the actual items that were showing as free were supposed to be discontinued. It would appear that my ice bucket must have been 'lying about', they engraved it, sent it and it smashed in the post. Obviously, i'm not going to get a replacment as they no longer have it in stock and no refund because I didn't pay anything for it!

    But I got two free glasses out of it - and on checking them a second time, they're quite good quality.

    Did anyone else get their order honoured?

  • I had a go at this offer, but I paid for delivery. Received a cancellation email, and was told that they would refund the money as quickly as possible. I still haven't received a refund and I have contacted them about it, it has been over a week now, any advice?

    Snap Possibility - just seem on my statement that money went out on 23rd July (2.99 p&p) - no items received and I can't log back into their site - but they used my email to ask on 13th Aug if I'd review the items I bought (and never received!).
    Anyhow have emailed today to try and get my £3 back.

    I phoned them yesterday as I still hadn't had a refund and was told that although the refund had gone through to the accounts department it hadnt been authorised! The CA told me she would do it straight away but it would take 3-4 days.
    lovin' this site!

    I'm sorry guys - some of us got our stuff and some are getting problems in getting postage refunded when goods went out of stock.
