    Damn - really must get some new glasses - I totally missed that it was Tesco direct. Or maybe I've forgotten how to read!

    My order came this morning, and the note just said-

    Order £ 25.72
    Free Delivery on Mobile Phones and Sim Cardsfor this order is -£ 4.85
    Subtotal after discounts & promotions for this order is £ 20.87
    Card Payment £ 20.87

    So it did work!

    Will let you know if there is any differnce in the amount taken from my bank.
    Great next day service too!
  • Have just tried to do this but checkout order details are showing £4.85 delivery charge. Don't want to pay this so have cancelled order. Has anyone else come across this ?
  • Posters on http://paidtoshop.co.uk are saying that Tesco has now closed this loophole and free delivery is now only on mobile phones and "selected" sim cards.
  • Whoops, only just made it then!!!!
  • The order came 9am this morning as stated with free postage.....very pleased!!!!!!

    This still works, ordered £9 of goods and didn't want to pay £4.95 postage

    Ordered a tesco £5 sim card - loaded with £10 call time and had no delivery charge.
    :T
    Payment a day challenge: £236.69
    Jan Shopping Challenge: £202.09/£250
    Frugal Living Challenge: £534.64/15000
  • So can we return the sim card at tesco and say we don't want it. So we get a refund and hence free postage?
