    Also, have you notied recently zooplus tries to add 50p as delivery if you d not opt out from Parcelforce?

    Very, VERY sneaky.. have to change to Yodel every time otherwise by default goes to parcelforce and adds 50 pence

    That's odd because mine automatically defaults to Yodel and I have to choose to pay the extra if I want to (which I don't, even though my ParcelForce delivery man is fab).

    I'm waiting, too, for offers on Z+ on OKO before I order.... I'll need some soon, but didn't want to order and then miss out on a freebie!

    Mind you, I've got a cat show next weekend, I'm thinking of possibly buying a smallish bag of World's Best to try... or failing that, I can get OKO from there, and they're usually very reasonable prices at shows.

    Have read quite a lot (not all!) of this thread with interest... Pets are expensive! We have bunnies and I'd rather not work out what they cost me as I might cry... They are massively spoiled, :eek:
    OP. Where in East London are you? Not a crazy stalker, just I buy in bulk things for buns such as hay and split with other bun owners to keep costs down, do you have anyone near you that you could team up with?

    Katebl - not really into buying sharing in bulk to be honest. Everyone I know feeds different food/uses different litter.

    No problem, just find it helps splitting orders (not necessarily same items) where delivery costs are involved! Especially when you have to spend £30 + for free delivery. Well done on getting your costs down anyway!

    I saw that too :rotfl: It's only a small thingy of treats though, and it is only with the 40L size. Mind you, they are my cats' favourite treats....

    But there are money off offers on OKO on Pet Supermarket I was considering.... 30L for just under £20.... oooops. Perhaps GR didn't want to know that...
