    I'm an existing customer - have been for 2 years - and I used the code on my final delivery (I've had 3 from them this Winter) and nothing was taken off.

    I first sent off 2 emails and have had no reply and today my proper paper statement came through the post and they still hadn't replied. I spent a good hour attempting to ring the 08713 769933 number at the top of my statement and getting the 'Sorry, we can't answer your call - sod off and keep ringing back so we get more money from you' message.

    I googled - and got this number:
    [SIZE=-1]08706 02 23 32 had to hang on for all of a minute whilst someone answered my call (It never got to the point of hanging on on the other - it just tells you about their website and cuts you off) and spoke to a lovely man who said he could see that the code should indeed have taken off the postage and he would sort it for me - so it's worth ringing to complain about it.

    i'm a customer and my letter said delivery is free if you spend more than £20. they offer free chocs to get your order but every christmas there are threads all over the net about how the free gift was 'out of stock' and no alternative was given.

    i've been a customer for years and place an order each christmas but more often than not i get no free gift.

    Same :)

    I've placed three orders this year and have had NO free gifts, despite actually putting the codes in for all four that I've had sent to me (Roses, 2 thorntons boxes and a jewelery box). The only time I did have a free gift was on my first ever order - and that was a tiny tin of Roses in November of last year .

    Just a word of warning for anyone counting on the free delivery. I got my invoice through today and was charged £4.99

    OP can you confirm that your postage was free using that code?

    I also used the free del code that I had sent to me, (have been a customer for years), I placed my order, got the statement with full amount to pay, rang them up and she relucatanlty said she would pass it over to have the 4.99 credited to the account, I paid the balance over the phone - next statement I had still had the 4.99 charge on it now showing as the balance together with interest!!! Needless to say, I have left it with them to sort out and told them they are a bit daft charging themselves interest lol.

    I wouldn't be laughing too soon.

    This happened with some MSE'rs a few years back and the £4.99 plus interest plus £20 late payment charge was passed to a debt collection agency and stung loads of people. Some fought on, others paid up. The thread was lost in the site change over back in 1995.

    You need to get onto Studio and get them to confirm that this charge is going to be removed. They are sods to deal with.
