  • Hi, i got my throw yesterday and its lovely.
    I did email to ask why everyone else was getting them for £3.50 and i was charged £7 plus 10% (for my first order) and i got this reply...

    Has anyone watch BBc this morning .

    This BBC programme is brilliant and reflects my disastrous experience of shopping with Kaleidoscope:eek:. I don't deny it, there are some good bargains to be had - but mail order shopping with a company like Kaleidoscope (which does NOT have a reliable or trustworthy returns policy - see the BBC programme) makes it a risky way to shop. Beware!

    Just ordered mine at £3.50, but I used a code they sent me for free delivery...try this for those who want one for £3.50 (minus all the hassles)

    Hope it works for you too.....oooh the code is K8091

    Ebay sellers are are making a bundle...BUMPS (Previous bad seller!!!) Still bothers me.....RRRRRRRRRRRRRW

    yup... marshall ward does that.

    takes the full amount first, then in a seperate 'credit' on your bank/cc statement shows a refund for the discounted code amount.
