Genie bras pk 3 £29.99 free del

littlejem

I went through Topcashback and used a 10% off code from hotukdeals.com. The same code is marked as expired on Topcashback but it worked for me. Not sure if the cashback will be declined because of the code but worth a try. If the cashback pays out they would cost around £8.25 per bra.

There seem to be loads of poor reviews around for non-Genie versions so this seemed a good deal. eBay is a bit of a nightmare when searching for these bras as the word Genie is included in the listing title whether its original Genie or not. I couldn't find any eBay bargains for size 14.

I am worried about endless mailing shots from Readers Digest but I did not tick the box for more offer details, I also used an email account that I keep for junk.

Thanks OP.

Either way, takes seconds to shred and dump in the recycle bag

It will take more than a few seconds because as I said they print your address in multiple places, so they are more diffficult than most.
You'll have a fake cheque, fake winners letter etc, so you have to spend time seperating the recycling from the shredding.
I personally have to remove plastic envelopes for my recycling, so I have to shred, bin and recycle the various parts, so I have to visit 3 places. I can't seperate, shred, bin, recycle in a few seconds.

mpsonline does not stop junk mail from companies that you AGREE to send stuff to you and by definition if you buy from a company it's often it's automatic that you get junk mail. Somtimes there is a convenient tick box, other times you have to write to opt out (I find email works well, but it does involve active effort).

Obviously you can buy from whomever you want, I was just making people aware that they are particularly difficult for junk mail, so people who have to wheel their bin a long way or who hate junk mail or who are disabled or who actaulyl care about the planet can make their own minds up.
Obviously it's not a big deal to you, so the comment is not particularly relevant to you, but I can assure you it's relevant to many other people.
If it's not a big deal to you, why do you want to argue?
If you don't understand the issue, then let me explain that my 84 year old artritic MIL has to wait for a carer to do her recycling, so perhaps it is a big deal to her when it lying around her small flat. She can't bend down to the shredder either, so has to wait for me to arrive every few weeks to do it.
It's up to everyone, but why argue if it's not relevant to you?
I can assure you the point is relevant to others and others will put money before id issues or dealing with companies they don't think are entirely ethical about privacy.

I get it that you don't think it's a big deal, but you need to understand that to some others it is a big issue. Elderly people cannot do it in seconds and in some cases cannot do it at all. You don't have to agree, but you would do well to learn some empathy at the very least with severely disabled people.

I wasn't "arguing" with you at all? Saying "either way takes seconds to shred etc" was not arguing. Not sure why you view it that way, especially as there is no tone :eek: There was a smiley at the end, not an angry argue face!

As I said, I will be able to put a stop to the junk mail, so it won't be an issue. I have purchased from Readers Digest previously and stopped their mailings within a month, same with Jean Pattrique.

I never agree to more mailngs when signing up for something, some of them can try and catch you out by stating you must leave the box blank if you don't want the mailings.

Good point about the planet, although I believe a lot of paper is recycled nowadays, which is exactly where junk mail goes, so recycling helps the planet, so please do not assume I don't care. If I didn't care, I wouldn't recycle, neither would I put a stop to junk mail.

I personally can't recycle them (similar reasons to your mother in law and a few more) and I am severely disabled myself (90 percent bed bound) but as this is a money saving site, and as I know the mailshots can be stopped, I really don't see an issue - the "either way" comment was meant as even if I get recycled mailshots for a couple of weeks, as everyone will on here who ordered, it takes a few seconds to do along with normal mail that has to be shredded.

From any store anyone orders on here they will receive inevitable mailshots. No need to have a go, no need to bring your mother and severely disabled people into it suggesting I have no empathy - you have assumed such a LOT from one scentence with a smiley at the end.....you also seem to have missed the scentence with the wink at the end:

I am not going to not order if I am saving a tenner just for the sake of junk mail I can stop anyway

It would only be an issue if they can't be stopped! Definitely no need turn it into an argument as I wasn't arguing with you in the first place, and no need to be so condescending and try to lecture to me or explain anything about disability, how hard things can be, or recycling, or stopping junk mail etc etc. We don't use bins here, we use bags.

I think at 50, and having brought 4 kids up being bed bound, I don't need to be taught to suck eggs. Your tone is very unwelcome, I am fully aware how to handle junk mail thanks, I have done it for years, and as for your comment about having no empathy for disabled people, that is just laughable considering my own situation.

She can't bend down to the shredder either, so has to wait for me to arrive every few weeks to do it.

It would make sense to move the shredder then to somewhere more manageable for her then, and as she is struggling as much as you imply with junk mail, it would make sense to put a stop to it.

Good to know

I looked at the ebay link someone posted in here and then found it a minefield of false advertising using Genie as keywords in listings. I decided to purchase from Readers Digest as I have had things before and know they will be genuine. I didn't want to take the risk of them being copies. I am so pleased you posted this deal, so thank you

When did you order? I'd be interested to know how long they take to arrive and what courier is used.

Anubis_2

I was wondering when they would arrive too, but on the email confirmation it stated 5 to 7 working days.
