    Placed order yesterday for the tape and Cd player - had to pay for delivery , but when it arrived this morning there was no delivery charge - cd player is great - kids love it ( so do I) They also tried to deliver another parcel to me - not quite sure what will be in that one as I only placed one order - they would n't let me order paper without spending £30 - roll on re-delivery!!!!!!

    Just phoned Viking, went through the palaver (sic?) of setting up an account, placing an order for some blank dvd's, mentioned the offer code, and was (very politely) informed that because of the huge response, the cd player was only being given with orders over £30.

    u could try placing a small order ist and then order the paper and stereo later using the leaflet order form they send with ur ist order( might get away with it if u post the form with stereo listed rather than phone in and be told u need to order over £30).

    they key is to get ur ist order delivered free (so you dont pay 2 delivery costs) either by opening a business acc and sweet talking them into giving u free delivery since its your ist order or by ordering over £30.

    remember if u do order over £30 just to get the stereo that u can return somone of the items for free with no charge( they even come and collect it). I Would only use this as a last restort since not nice to abuse ther generosity considering hardly any companys do this.

    Just phoned up and ordered the Malaga chair, paper, free hifi and free biscuits.

    When i asked about the paper i was told it was 4 existing customers only but after i placed my order and gave my card details the v nice man offered me the paper as i spent £30. Not bad eh? He had bit of a laugh when i pushed my luck about the free biscuits but hey, u dont ask u dont get.

  • I ordered an ink cartridge (£12.49) and got the CD player. The person at Viking Direct said it was an offer open to new customers only, nothing about a print error...?

    The paper was never available on-line,you can only get it by calling them and hope you get a good operator as some people are still lucky and some aren't.

    I never knew Viking existed before the OP started this thread, not only was the offer such a good one with the paper and free Radio/CD Player but there are so many other bargains that are brought to notice when the catalogue is sent along with the delivery. The number of posts from members that have applied for items and have benefitted from the cheap price and free gift seems to have brought great joy to so many, this has got to be post of the month, anyone else who thinks so should find the appropriate thread and nominate it as such. 1a_y_grin.gif


    Thanks for your support, Elvis.

    Huh!

    I tried to place an order for a box of pencils and a CD player, but was told the CD player was out of stock for ALL orders .... over and under £30. Anyone encountered the same?
