I think if the normal price before the lightning deal is over £10 you still get free delivery.

Yes that is right, quite a few things £9.98 or around that price to make you spend more! ... "make"!!!! I am even convincing myself now :rotfl:

Or you could sign up for a free trial of Amazon Prime and cancel before the 30 days are up.

The missed deals only show the most recently ended ones. It might be back on, I know the Malificent Blu ray and the Lee Evans DVD were both 100% claimed yet they are back on today.

Hi do you remember how much Lee Evans went to please?

No sorry I think it might have been £14.99 but I couldn't swear to it as there were so many DVDs.

Tired of seeing the same stuff come around that no-one wanted the first (or second) time.......


Anyone else get the feeling that they're having a good old 'clear out'......?

I think you're right because they're showing in the 'My Orders' at 'total price' as the full/normal (for Amazon) price, then less the discount as 'promotion applied' , and I'm guessing the software that triggers the offer of free delivery works on the total price

And if you're a Prime member you can opt for "No rush delivery" 3-5 working days instead of the usual next day delivery for prime, & you get a £1 to spend on amazon digital downloads (music books or films).
I'm on a Prime trial too at the moment & whilst Amazon logistics delivery has been pants, I've amassed £7 to spend on downloads so v chuffed!

Yes!!!

I think it's a very poor range this year - definitely the worst yet. And I don't remember the endless strings of DVDs before.

I've picked up a couple of toys and that's it.

I haven't had to fight temptation once - but I miss the excitement!

Why do so many people add the item to their basket only for them not to bother with the purchase?

Crunch time came, I clicked as soon as the button appeared and found I was number 62 on the list for the iPhone 5. Yet within 5 minutes, Amazon was then telling me I had a chance to buy one.
I suspect there was less than 10 available to buy, especially for me to be at number 62 pretty much straight away, so loads of people must have not bothered!

Even more fun is that over an hour later only 23% has been claimed!
Maybe people don't want it because it's not the latest model...

Will check back later but nothing much else is interesting me today.

Same thing happened to me, First attempt failed even though I had one on claim it wouldn't put it into the basket. I rejoined the wish list when it lapsed and was told I was number 60 and chances were poor, 30 seconds later I had it.

I guess the discount wasn't enough for most people although the price was on a par with a mint condition equivalent at CEX, and it's boxed and sealed not just rolling around in a carrier bag so I thought it was worth it.
