    How are ye using multiple codes? Its only allowing me one.

    Winter or my 15% newsletter sub. One or the other

    You can't anymore and if you did use multiple codes Cross just cancelled your order.

    Didn't realise people were so mad for pens! When I posted the first post I thought one or two might be interested.

    25 days ago I didn't need a fancy Star Wars BB-8 pen. 24 days ago it was the best thing since sliced bread. Still hoping you get sorted out with your order.

    Like a Trump supporter on the way to the Capitol, I got swept away in the moment. Luckily I caught myself half way up the steps with 340 quid worth of discounted pens I'd never use in my basket and closed the laptop down before I did something I'd really regret

    Random DHL delivery text for tomorrow for a Cross package after hearing nothing since 5th Jan & the initial order confirmation email. No stacked codes.

    Keep the faith!

    Adding my name to the list of "received the cancellation email due to stacked codes " walk of shame :) never could I have imagined this thread about pens, of all things, could still be top of the pops here.

    A BA perfect storm:

    - commonly known, generally respected brand
    - easily relatable product
    - deep discount
    - overall outlay low enough to avoid second thoughts

    Well played OP!

    I'm totally focused on this. Never been so pi**ed off with a company as this shower. So unprofessional.

    I had 2 pens sneak in with stacked codes. Bought them individually and under 22e. Got them within a few days.

    My original order for 40 e was cancelled.
    So I didn't do to badly.

    So I didn't get a George who would do an express delivery but still an interesting update all the same -

    To anyone still holding out for deliveries...interesting note re: import fees at the bottom. Maybe people from earlier in thread could try claim it back?


    'Thank you for your email.

    There is a backlog of Irish orders as we had to temporarily halt any orders going to Ireland because of Brexit.

    However, deliveries are now resuming, so your order will be dispatched soon; it is being processed by our warehouse team. It may not arrive quite in time for the birthday gift, but hopefully not too much after.

    If you do incur any import costs, please let me know and we can try and rectify this for you. We are covering any import fees for orders placed as long as you keep proof of payment of said fees.

    Got an email today saying my pen has dispatched. Surprised by this as I was convinced it was going to be cancelled.

    €11.48 Coventry ballpoint pen gunmetal gray.
    https://www.cross.com/cr_en_ie/at0662-8

    €45.99 reduced to €9.99
    Use code: Winter for 35% off.
    Total: €11.48 (includes delivery of €4.99)

    Same pen seems advertised also on the site, reduced to €40.99. https://www.cross.com/cr_en_ie/at0662g-8
    Not sure if there is any difference in pens, bar price??

    May not pull through. But if your mischief. I've lost the will after my other order was cancelled. And the fact I own some unopened 🖊️ presents.

    My 2 are arriving on Monday with DHL. Used the winter code:)
