    Am so excited for my parcel to get here, but it's still saying 'printed' so not even picked yet! :( Ordered on the 7th. Anyone got theirs yet?

    Ordered on 6th, received today. Their stuff are so lovely that I placed another order today. :)
    Don't worry, they are probably just busy trying to cope with the orders, I am sure you will get your parcel soon! ;)

    I placed an order on 7th July also (my second order....oops!) - received despatch notification email 10th July and it was delivered today. Delivery is not the fastest but I was more than happy enough with my 1st order to go ahead and place a 2nd so that says something. Hope yours turns up soon and is worth the wait :)
  • The sale is brilliant! I spent £42.35 which sounds like a lot but if i'd bought it all before the sale it would've cost £280.37!

    Definitely well on the way to getting xmas sorted now!

    I ordered a few days ago, and 'apparently' delivery was attempted yesterday, but no card was put through :angry:
    So now I have tracked it and been in touch with them and they've said I need to collect it from my local post office. Not very happy with Parcelforce, but the communication their end is very good. Look forward to collecting it tomorrow.

    ellie79, it was the same for me - supposed attempted delivery but I was in all day and now I need to collect from the post office. Hope it's not a massive box as I can't drive and anything I have to pick up I have to go home on the bus with! I presumed it was just me so disappointed to hear the same story from someone else :(

    buuuuuuuuuuut, still super excited to receive my order :T sorta forgot what I ordered so it'll be like discovering it all over again :o

    Thank OP

    So worth it - I have literally just had my parcel delivered and am so pleased with all the items. Well worth the postage x

    I just placed an order for token gifts for nieces and nephews for christmas (a money box each and a grow your own £1.30 total!) plus I ordered 2 of the cycling mugs for christmas gifts and a bag for myself from my husband LOL Spent £22.90 inc p&p, would have spent more but it's getting to the end of the month!
    Hope they turn out to be as good as they seem.
