£10 for 10kg + free delivery - Kellogg's Crunchy Nut / Special K

The catch is that it's best before March 2013, but it's cereal so should still last a good while yet.

    Swinco is run by a former Approved Food employee who got himself banned from their forums due to making abusive posts towards members there: http://forum.approvedfood.biz/index.php/topic,666.msg13528.html#msg13528

    The site is mentioned in multiple threads on MSE so making a search for "swinco" should find several discussions about them such as this one:
    https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/3188628

    It is also mentioned on various other forums if you google it such as:
    http://www.mamapack.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=59&t=12417

    Not somewhere I would choose to shop myself but other people can make their own minds up.

    frugal_shopper still Pro Approved Food despite the on going customer complaints on their Facebook page and continual rising food prices on their website. Swinco along with Food Bargains have been trading for several years now and have remained competitive despite Approved Foods attempt to dominate and monopolies the market.

    I've never ordered before from Swinco, but have many many times from Approved food previously. I've not ordered from AF in about 10 months as prices are too high now and the service has been a little erratic.

    So I took the plunge with this deal as my dear dear cherubs devour Special K - ordered yesterday am, my parcel is out for delivery via Yodel today. :T

    Top marks for speed :) Will post again once arrived to report accuracy!

    I have re read my post above & fail to see where I recommended any other company. I simply provided a few links to previous discussions of Swinco & stated that I personally would not choose to shop there. I don't choose to shop in big supermarkets such as Asda, Tesco etc... either but it makes no difference to me whether or not other people do choose to do so. Everyone else is perfectly capable of choosing where to shop themselves.

    Google checkout is not working because clearancexl.com is a masked domain for another domain. Using a masked domain on a site that is taking payment details etc is a bit of a security risk.

    Cereal should not be a problem if its OOD. With CNC, they may start to go a bit soft a few months down the line.

    How do you actually pay for goods? I don't have a google wallet account, or is this like paypal?
