    Dunno whether this helps anyone and I know original offer has been removed and I know its not a freebie anymore but if you still want stuff from ELC then the following still seem to be working with no free delivery.

    welcome2n1 = 20% discount
    welcome2n2 = 10% discount
    welcome2n3 = 10% discount

    Hope this helps.

    It's not just cos people were greedy, I'd guess that it's also because when it gets puts on sites like this it generates so much more publicity than they expect, if they only anticipated a few hundred to use the code, then it gets put on here and at least 1,000 look at it and order (there was 4,700 when I looked) of course they're going to remove/change the code.

    Dear customer,

    We are writing to inform you that we are unable to process your recent order at elc.co.uk.
    You will not be charged for this order.

    It has been brought to our attention that a promotion code was used when you placed this order.
    However, this code can only be used by the person who received it directly from us.

    If this code was passed on to you by another third party or was posted on a third party website
    this invalidates the code as it goes against our terms and conditions policy.

    We are sorry for any inconvenience this has caused you.

    If you are keen to receive the toys placed in your original order then you will need to place a new
    order, without using the voucher code. This will then be delivered in our usual timescales.

    And don't forget to sign-up to our regular Special Offers email to be the first to receive news of
    exclusive discounts, new toys ranges, in store events and online exclusives.

    Kind regards,

    ELC Customer Services

    :( Looks like there not going to come guys

    Just about to post that too but you got there first!

    I hope you people who ordered multiples are pleased with yourselves!

    Is it worth even putting codes on here nowadays?

    hmm... intriguing.

    ORDERES BEING CANCELLED

    just received this
    "It has been brought to our attention that a promotion code was used when you placed this order. However, this code can only be used by the person who received it directly from us."
    Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive, and go do it.
    Because what the world needs is people who have come alive.

    Same here, I used the code once, to order the BIG bottles of bubbles which we were planning to buy instore anyway, but when we saw this it seemed easier to order online. Let alone cheaper!!

    Just received the same email....oh well, you win some and you lose some! Think I will continue to buy at johnlewis.com who honoured my order during the last code fiasco!

    I wonder whether it was just the small orders over £5 that were cancelled?
