  • Thanks OP, just placed an order of £19 of stuff and only paid p&p. Website painfully slow, but be patient it does still work!

    Are you sure they are zero rated? Although still food I would class them as luxuries not necessities.

    Zero Rated: Bourbon and other biscuits where the chocolate or similar product forms a sandwich layer between two biscuit halves and is not continued onto the outer surface

    I'd count Oreos in this and so do Tesco (just found old receipt)

    Zero rated: Cocoa and drinking chocolate and other preparations and extracts of cocoa

    It's only a game

    If past experience is anything to go by these orders will not be honoured, I just cannot understand why they didn't take the site down this morning and stop the codes being used. To carry on all morning accepting orders seems stupid.

    When you see a glitch like this it's always worth giving it a try but I wouldn't hold your breath !!
  • I've still had no email from them after ordering last night so I'm not holding out much hope. Would be great if the stuff does come, but if it doesn't I'll not lose sleep over it! ;)

    Is yours to decide, this is your life.

    I ordered about 9pm last night, still no email.

    How do we know if orders are going to be sent if there's no emails? The order history page doesn't show any status either. :(

  • Looks like some kn*b head on HUKD has said they phoned CS who said they won't be honouring the orders as code should not have been used by everyone BUT I reckon it was a wind up as the person created a new HUKD account just to ''announce'' that ( to wind people up I reckon )
    But rule of thumb is OF COURSE DO NOT ring CS or it would be in the words of Del boy ''you plonker!''

    Is the code still working as it would be better if they had pulled it rather than not honour it after hours trying to put an order through! lol

    I got a confirmation for my order but it does state ''Please note; this email is to confirm the receipt of your order. Your order is subject to approval and will be released once the items have been accepted''
  • i still havnt even put my first order in! was on the frozen pages for about 2 hours last night, gave up and went to bed. trying again now but am just past hour 1 of waiting. booo
