• Frequently asked questions
  
  • So what is this thing?
    
    The Countdown promotion will run for 24 hours, starting at noon GMT (10th November). There will be a new product available on the homepage for a great price every hour for each of the hours, the last one going up the following day (11th November) at 11am GMT.
    Can I buy all of the books?
    
    You can buy as many, or as few of the titles offered as you like, we don't charge postage for over 100 countries around the world, so there is no harm in shopping again, and again throughout the day. You are however limited to three copies of each book per person - it's only fair that as many people as possible get to grab a bargain.
    What happens if I'm checking out and the books run out?
    
    The book you're ordering is only definitely yours when you see the confirmation page - up to that point if someone beats you to it, then sorry you're out of luck. We hope everyone will get at least one of the titles they're after.
    These offers are really good, are they the same books as normal?
    
    Yes - we've done some very special deals with some very special publishers to get the Christmas shopping season off to a bang.
    Oops. In all the excitement I bought a book I don't want.
    
    That's fine. Don't panic - just let us know via the form or via our live chat system on our contact us page and we'll cancel the order for you.
    Is there a way to find out what the next offer is?
    
    No sorry, the fact it's a secret is all part of the fun!
  • I added a book to my basket and it was removed, what happened?
    
    Sorry the book sold out during the time it took to add it to your basket, better luck next time.
    I fell asleep waiting for the next product and missed it - can I still get it at the offer price somehow?
    
    Sorry no. These offers are known as WIGIGs in the trade (When It's Gone It's Gone) - after the hour is over you'll often be able to buy the book again but at the normal price.
    How long are you doing the offer for?
    
    From noon GMT on Thursday 10th November to 11am on Friday 11th November. Then we'll all need a bit of a lie down.
    Are the products on offer still shipped for free?
    
    Yes indeed they are. We have free worldwide delivery.
    Are there any tricks as to getting through the checkout quickly?
    
    We recommend that you set up an account (although you don't need one to shop) and add a credit card ready, save fumbling around when too excited (though you will still need your CVV number).
    I've got some other questions you've not covered here
    
    Why not drop us a line.

this one just about to start, dont know if they will sell out quickly or not!

cascaid

It's already saying sold out, showed as sold out as soon as I refreshed the page at 12:00 exactly! Website looks like its crashing as well, guess they can't handle the traffic :mad:

hotpink

Can't get on the site now!!!

_Roxy_

I was on the page at exactly 12.00 and it already said sold out Didn't even see what it was.

sasari

Refreshed and at 13 seconds past it said sold out but not what the item was...

Softstuff

The sold out message was the first thing to load for me at bob on time. Didn't even get to see what it was!

gillez

I was already on the site watching the countdown to 0. It refreshed automatically when it reached 0 and said sold out. Did anyone even see what it was?

Think this one may be a waste of time.

MrJolly44

Grrr. Sold out message immediately at 12. For what ever it was.

gillez

Just refreshed again and it is now showing the item and is no longer sold out.

It's called "Special Cupcakes (hardback)" and is reduced from £12.99 to £4.10.

Not really worth waiting for but I guess someone might like it.

CROSS-POSTED!

it was a cupcake book - showing on site now - still sold this sec, although if you desperately want it it seems that you can get one if you keep refreshing. Not that exciting anyway!!
