Quite annoyed at Amazon.

Ordered the Phantom Atlas with a promised delivery date of before Christmas. Tracking showed it was with the courier on 20th with a due delivery date of 29th:o

Now we are told that it will take a few more days to receive it but if we haven't got it by 1st Jan they will send us a replacement. If they can't replace it they will refund our money in 5-7 days.
I can't find any way of cancelling:mad:

Evening luvlies, I know you have it sorted now but if you get stuck again, if you go into the order if it hasn't been dispatched yet, you can click on cancel order. I've done it a few times.

Ordered a couple of these earlier. You can personalise them with photos, delivery is about 28 days but for 84p you can't complain .

Ordered from the same company over 5 years ago and they were great little cosmetic purses then. Went for a larger size this time - use mine for the gym to pop little bits in. Recognises your IP address so can only use the code once (see first post in link). For my second order I had to place order on my phone and turn off the wifi. Thanks to hukd.

More sweets again:(:rotfl:.
I went to Mr A this time to see what reductions they had got.

Maynard's Wine Gums carton (460g) £1.00 (works out cheaper than Aldi's Dominion)
Cadbury Eclairs carton (420g) £1.00 (so much for 166g pouches at £1 prices:rotfl:)

I'm sure the above is probably common knowledge - as usual I suspect the entire rest of the world has known about these items for days before I even become aware of them.

My A also had some Maynards Bassetts Liquorice Allsorts (460g) at £1. However, 500g Liquorice Allsorts (unspecified brand) were £1 at Poundland/Poundstretcher.

It seems no-one is shopping at Mr A earlier - virtually no wombles. In fact, I nearly found more at Mr T:rotfl: - the A receipt at Mr T! Sadly, :(it looks like they've not bought enough qualifying items.

Surprise - I thought it would be a few pence on the biscuits (not helping that they bought the A mbuy:) but it's more than a few pence although not much more.

The Morries comp. looks good (close prices/not 10% cheaper etc.).

7 items (6 different) on your receipt qualify for comparison
Asda morrisons
2x Fox's Party Rings (125G) £1.00 £1.00
1x Roberts Bakery Medium White Bread (800G) £1.19 N/A
1x Jam & Creams (150G) £0.40 N/A
1x ASDA Bourbon Creams (300G) £0.40 £0.35
1x ASDA Custard Creams (400G) £0.40 £0.45
1x ASDA Nice Biscuits (200G) £0.40 £0.35
1x Perle De Lait Coconut Yogurts (4X125G) £2.00 N/A
1x McVitie's Digestives Milk Chocolate (300G) £1.00 £1.00
1x ASDA Whole Milk (4PT) £0.99 £1.00
1x ASDA Chosen by You BBQ Crispy Coated Peanuts (200G) £1.20 N/A
Comparison total (compared products only) £4.19 £4.15

However, the comp. vs S 'wins':( due to some Perle yogurts being cheaper (they go onto £1 offer prices:rotfl:) and it means that Mr A is still quite happy as, in effect, after the APG, the Custard Creams have been got for 63p instead of 40p on A's mbuy. And the Bread is obtained for £1.19 and doesn't have to be 10% cheaper than anyone else's £1 as it is non-comp. against "the place that matters" S.

:idea:I'm not convinced about the Roberts white bread as I bought some whoopsied Roberts wholemeal in M a couple of days ago. Surely M have Roberts Medium White Bread 800g?:think:

It seems, indeed:(.

Roberts Bakery Medium Sliced White Bread (800g)



£1.19 14.9p / 100g

• 
  £1.00
• 
  £1.00
• 
  £1.00 *
• 
  £1.35 *
• 
  £1.40 *

The receipt is from, now, a couple of days ago and it was, then, comparing against T at £1. No hope against M - A wouldn't have been 10% cheaper, however the comp. would still have been better against S so, according to this, they are.

They always like their smaller pack 300g chocolate digestives at £1:rotfl:.:eek::eek::rotfl::p

I clearly have no idea! Why do they sell at all? 500g packets go onto £1 when they are on 'good' offers. Clearly, however, I am doing something wrong and the rest of the public is right. Or, more likely, almost the entire rest of the public is wrong and I am almost the only one right:D. Impulse purchases?

Good morning all
