I received an email from Blackwell.co.uk today:

"Just to let you know, It's FREE UK Postage Day

Fill your boots ;-)

I'll move this over to the Grabbit board as it's for one day only

Thought you meant someone was giving away free postage stamps, bit of a misleading thread title

Have no idea what blackwell sell either, as when I key https://www.blackwell.co.uk into Firefox all I see is a plain blank white screen...

No sign of this online, I just placed my order but wanted to charge me £2.50 delivery?

Was a code sent with the email.

Thanks

You have to spend £20 to get free delivery.

No mention of this on their website:

Except when you want to use Egg Money Manager. Other than that it's great - the Tabbed windows are excellent (though it takes a while to get used to not clicking the top right close box).

Anyway, back to topic, one of my colleagues used to use Blackwells quite extensively, especially for hard-to-get books. However, he now gets most from ebay/Amazon but still goes back to Blackwells when necessary. The advantage of dealing with a company like that instead of Amazon is that they are willing to try and get items for you that are not off-the-shelf (though I'm sure local bookshops will do the same). However, that probably isn't compatible with their 1 day free postage offer!
