Sneaky idea about ordering from Topshop, will it work?

picklekin

Hi folks,

Noticed this morning I have a hole in my work shoes (rain got in!) and I happen to like topshops ballet pumps and want some of those, they are only £16 but that would cost £4 delivery....

However, delivery is free for orders over £75 and they have a free returns policy, so could I order more stuff and then send it back (for free) and thus save myself the postage?

Would this work or there a catch I haven't spotted? Could work for lots of other companies too but surely they would be wise to this?

*feels sneaky*

I'm not sure if it would work as I think they only refund the delivery costs if you return the entire order, if you keep something from the order then you are still charged for delivery, well I know that's what Next do anyway!

Can you not order and get it sent to store for free?

I don't live anywhere near a store, which is why I'm ordering I will give it a go and see what happens, all I have to love is the £4 I would have spent anyway, and I can try on some clothes!

There will be no delivery costs to refund though, as she won't have paid it in the first place.

Anyway in theory it should work, although don't know if they have a policy in place to stop people doing it all the time.

I paid no delivery cost indeed.
