Discount code misuse

  • I think there is one lesson to learn ie if it says ''1 per person'' then just place 1 order NOT TEN!!!!!!

    You have to have SOME compassion for the company even just a bit as they sell special needs educational items for schools etc and the voucher WAS misused whereas even if you placed just the one order as per the T&C's your conscience would have been much clearer let alone be less scared of a repercussion!!!

    If I remember correctly you got a free £30 discount off all items , so 10 x 30 = £300 of goods for nowt from this company who are not a charity and it must have caused them some serious problems :-(

    If your not worried about them trying to claim back money from codes they have decided to take away, (and so yes, they would be sending you a bill so you are aware what the difference is) then what are you worried about.


    Where have I stated that I'm worried? I was simply offering my opinion to the OP who started the thread.

    I placed several orders, not for myself but for the nursery down my road. It relies on parents to help with funding to keep maintenance costs down etc and I donated the goodies to them, FYI.

    If hope do contact me then I'll tell them what i've done. As for the company, have you seen the prices listed on their website?? ludicrious!!

    Sadly there are a lot of greedy people on this site and a lot of them will 'buy' stuff whether they need it or not .

    At the end of the day , morally its theft

    You , of course , know what it costs to produce these goods and run a company to sell them

    you know, it would be helpful if people stuck to providing advice rather than giving stupid one liners. :o
