This is a big praise with a teeny bit of vent thrown in as well.

So I wanted to order a pair of shoes for my partner for Christmas and I saw that they offered a 10% student discount if you e-mail them with a photograph of your student card and information about its expiry date.

My student card hasn't got an expiry date and I was a bit concerned they'd question me as a mature student. Anyhow, I sent of the pictures with an expected end date and I got a unique discount code sent through to me.... FOUR MINUTES LATER! :T

So, 10% off! PLUS, I went through Quidco so a further 6% cashback. Kerching!

Slight vent is the fact that they send out their parcels via UPS without being of 'signed for' category, which means that UPS have no obligation to make sure you get the parcel, only to see that the parcel is left at the address.

So I was a bit peeved when I came home to £120 pair of shoes just sitting outside my front door :eek:

But, all in all, highly recommended!
'I can't deny the British influence on my accent and mannerisms, but I don't know the British national anthem, I didn't weep for Princess Diana and I always cheer when Britain loses at sport. That's how British I am' Constantine-Simms. :T
