I'm a member of Achica, one of the 'members only' discount pages. They have some lovely stiff there and I have had some good deals on high price items. I left a basket the other day and received a 15% off the day after to complete my purchase.

I haven't had that before though and have probably abandoned several baskets!

Cable Monkey sent me a 10% discount code for an abandoned basket, valid for 7 days. Handy if you're wiring up your home or office for IT, telephone or entertainment. I don't know if their discount varies depending on order value, but I abandoned twice (I'm very indecisive!) and got the same offer both times.

abandoned with Currys, emailed after an hour that I have left stuff in my basket but no discount offered.

I've had more than one offer in the past after leaving items in basket with Cotton Traders. Definitely had a free P&P code before and last week had a £5 off £10 spend code. 24 hours after leaving basket I got a reminder email and when I didn't visit the site again, 24 hours after that I got the voucher code.

Hasn't worked for me. Left my shopping for a week at Tesco online but haven't had any offers from them. Do you have to delete the items or just walk away? I just left the site but the goods are still in the basket.

I went to DPD's website to get a parcel delivery arranged, who sent me on to Interlink... I only wanted a quote, so filled in the details, and the following day, they sent me a £5 voucher to encourage me to complete my order.

Btw, I was arranging delivery from UK to Germany, and it was already the cheapest quote I'd found, much cheaper than any of the comparison sites.

We were looking for a new TV and tried abandoning a cart twice on Tesco.com but no discount offers!

Tried the abandon basket trick - as if by magic, 24 hours later, an email with 5% code off high end skincare products! Thanks Martin! :j:j:j:rotfl::j:j:j

I abandoned my basket and just a few hours later got a 10% off code by email.

Hi, we often buy our work clothes from myworkwear.co.uk and they got our business because they offered us a 10% discount, as we were about to leave the page! I managed to write the discount code down (and this will save you having to abandon the basket!!) and it is FIRSTORDER10 which worked a treat! We have tried to use it again, but it looks like it is a one off! Hope this helps guys ;-)
