    After ordering, I received an email later to advise of 24 hour delay to collect in store, my order still shows partially confirmed but when I click the main view order it shows as all confirmed, I received an automated call yesterday to also advise of 24 hour delay, so good service so far.

    Just gone into my emails to check for something else and there is an email for every item I ordered, :eek:advising me that item is at the store ready to be collected, I am soooooo pleased I hadnt left my mobile number lol, as I ordered 40 of the 50p items for party bags:eek: and received an email for each and every one plus another 7 for other items:rotfl::rotfl:
  • Rather oddly when I go on to my account to check the status of all 15 lines.
    14 are in the store for uplift.
    The 15th item (Of which I ordered 5 and 4 are in store) is delayed by a courier !!!! up.
    How weird then again it is Yodel.

    OMGOODNESS, just went to collect mine, with my nana trolley and a bag for life, maybe the words 'mini' on some of the 50p items threw me lol, I waited 25 mins for guy to come back from finding my order, when he did , he asked where the car was, :rotfl: i said just had nana trolley, he said he had a full cage with 37 items of my order in:eek: the other 10 where to follow next day!

    didnt know whether to laugh or cry, ended up crying with laughter with other customers as i wobbled out the door with nana trolley 2 over shoulder shoppers and 2 black bags, my son carrying a walkers crisps multi bag box :rotfl: never in a million years did i expect the size of some of the stuff to be as it was, and there was me thinking 40x 50p prezzies for the party bags:p, mind you , every single item was individually wrapped and bagged or boxed (think 10 large shoe boxes alone with ben10 in) such a waste of bubble wrap, boxes and air pillow things, when many could have been bagged together, I bet packaging cost more :eek:

    many thanks to OP , going to have to upgrade to party carrier bags lol.

    hi mmmkb

    I. ordered (all at 50 p)

    10 x ben10 revolution ultramatrix @50p each (each comes in mens shoe size box)

    10 x disco microphone shower radios ( double bubble wrapped then silver grey bag)

    10 x 'mini' metal detectors ( wrapped as shower radios)

    10 x boat floating radios larger packet with double bubble wrap (only 1 arrived 9 to follow with another ben10 matrix


    *edit to say, below were not 50p....

    3 message monsters large boxes

    few board games one layer bubble wrap

    thought they may have put the lots of 10 in one larger box as they are Already in their own packaging which is good enough:rotfl:

    Raging I missed out on the Ben 10 stuff. My 2 boys would have loved to get those. Our store didn't have any before Christmas :( Never thought to look online silly me.
    I was only wanting 2 of each too, to put into their Easter baskets. gutted :(
    I've put 2 orders in now. I did manage to get my daughter and nieces some Zhu Zhu hamster stuff for £2 each, a Zhu Zu hamster value pack for £3,75, and also got 4 Marvin's Magic sets that were £10 down to £2 :T perfect for Birthday presents. I also managed to get 2 scooters at £5 each
    Pay all debt off by Christmas 2025 £815.45/£3,000£1 a day challenge 2025 - £180/£730 Declutter a bag a week in 2025 11/52Lose 25lb - 10/25lbs Read 1 book per week - 5/52Pay off credit card debt 18%/100%
  • My so loves Bakugan so I ordered 3 of everything, to my surprise They sent 3 Bakugan multi-packs with 5 in each!! these are usually £25 so he's well happy, Went to order dome more but the link doesn't seem to work. Anyone else having that problem.

  • A big THANK YOU to Frances23 for this post. I logged in the other day just as you posted this and placed an order straight away. I never thought for one minute that I would receive many of the items. Much to my surprise today I have been in store to collect my order and everything has arrived. Me, mum and sister now have lots of presents for upcoming birthdays etc.
    Thanks again

    Every item was wrapped individually - Luckily CS desk was empty so CS SA got the scissors out & we unwrapped everything - he was like a child at Christmas :rotfl:
