CURRYS *I think its an offer*

If you buy something that is quite large, like I have just purchased a chimney hood for my cooker and it cost £110 plus £20 delivery cost. I used a voucher for the NHS discount to get 5% off, but if you go into the refurbished section there is a Freeview box for £30 which is offering free delivery on it, therefore, by right however you look at it you are either getting a free freeview box or free delivery.

Hope this helps someone else

    £110 for hood. £30 for freeview box. Free delivery. Less 5% - £7. Cost = £133.
    Cost without freeview box and discount would have been £130 (£110 + £20).
    Effective cost of freeview box when using discount code = £3.

    If only we all worked for the NHS!

    Actually you can buy a Freeview box which isn't refurbished for less than £30 at Tesco, ASDA or even Empire Direct

    OK, I accept that has nothing to do with the point you're making, sorry
    Thanks to all who post constructively.

    £3 (or £10 for non NHS) , this is an excellent way to get free delivery on large items.
