I tried the link, got to the check out, but then had to order some other old tat to get to a minimum price order. So ordered from Amazon for less than the minimum, and will be here tomorrow.
It is annoying, but they did that to keep the postage free, because people were ordering smaller whenever they saw something they fancied, myself included, and they realised to prevent several postage costs each time it's better for everyone involved if you order a several items that added up to £15 or anything above that price.
It does make perfect business sense, and i must confess i would see stuff i liked and just order it on the spot any times a week. Every now and then they'll have 'free postage' session for a short time where the minimum £15 spend is removed.
With me being off work injured for the last few months i've bought every tool i might ever need for the bike or home, and more, plus they have a brilliant selection of boots over there that really caught my attention, way more than i've ever seen over here before, but they sell them at stupid prices so really need to calm down from buying any more. :lol
Another trick that a work colleague taught me was that if you have your eye on something a bit pricier but are not in a hurry for the item, like a pair of boots or clothing for example, then choose your correct size using the size guide (in the box near the standard sizes), then add it to your cart but don't buy it straight away, just leave the item in your cart for a few days, then more often than not you'll find that they'll suddenly drop in price anyway or you'll personally be offered a special discounted price for a short period of time.
