They really expect people to do that? :-)

Similar problem happened around Christmas time and really hit the small businesses. Decent people did that.

what happens if people don't?:eek:


I received confirmation but that's it. No other email. Order still on my account.

We had our order cancelled, it was no big surprise really, it was worth a punt as nothing ventured and all that.

I think just wait & see if the order gets fulfilled & you subsequently personally receive the email asking to cancel/return.

Reading the reviews, a reasonable number of people had been sent free tablets in return for writing a product review. I'm sure many people receiving freebies due to the promotion will also give kind comments, which will offset some of the poor reviews that are on there on the product. All good for their business.

They now have the top-selling tablet on Amazon as a result of the code, so this will also help drive up their sales just before Xmas.

Obviously, they have received many more requests than they expected (& possibly didn't intend to give such a large discount!). They need to decide what they can afford for this promotion & good publicity it's inadvertently generating.

I think it's wise they've prevented multiple free orders from going through.

Hopefully some of the rest of us will be lucky to nab a (goodwill) freebie.

Any of us asked to return the item will just be unlucky & have to act on our consciences. If it was a mistake the other way round, you'd expect your money back.

I don't think they have, think its just simply pot luck if an order is going through or not, there was absolutely nothing to link my two accounts,


seems any that have been dispatched are getting the email asking to return it

Just tried to cancel (returning parcels is a hassle) and it says it cant cancel the order as it's being prepared for shipment.


: Email says 'you're welcome to refuse the package and it will be returned to us. If you are unable to refuse delivery' how do you refuse delivery of a parcel?
