What was the deal on 96 hand sanitizers? How much were they?

Yes it was the deal for the 96 hand sanitizers, were about 9 quid. Not holding out much hope of actually getting them but for less than a tenner I'll wait for another few weeks before I think of cancelling. One never knows.

Onto the customer care team about 3 orders that had been outstanding for ages:

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07W4MK32J/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o06?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - Order on the 1st of April, heard nothing

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B07G9FDR1T/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - Ordered this on the 9th of April, heard absolutely nothing from anyone

https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B08MV32BG1/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 - Ordered 24th of May and heard nothing

Got onto the customer care team and all the items were 'stuck' and there was nothing they could do but cancel them.

It bothers me that they were on order for months in some cases and nothing was flagged.

Is this open to Amazon Germany bargains?

A bit niche, but still.
I'd always wear Puma King Top Di firm ground boots, but it's a balls trying to get them at a reduced rate.
Was checking .co.uk, and saw that the non-Di versions in my size 8.5 were reduced to £87 delivered.
For that money I thought I'd give them a go.

Then decided to check Amazon.de.
Had to sign up for a free Prime trial (no biggie), but the same boots in the same size (42.5 EU) came in at €58.45 delivered!
The boots themselves were only €50!
Same boots direct from Puma are €140!

Like I said, a bit niche. But I'm assuming other sizes would be available at around the same money.

Live is life!

Ordered these Monday afternoon.
Just delivered now.

3 and a bit days from ordering to delivery from Germany. Not too shabby.

If it gets into the country on 30 June you'll be fine.

Same here, got about £15 back in total. I did think the prices looked wrong when I bought the items, but figured they'll correct it later.

Same here.

Getting €5.67 back. Thing is they already gave me £10 credit to my account last night.

The delivery dates are gone mad. Don't think I'd ever be bothered getting bottled water delivered from UK but can you imagine ordering it now and it arriving in early September? Wtf?

When I posted that it was in stock, so the subscribe and save option was available. Because there is no stock atm , its not available. You could have selected buy now with subscribe and save then clicked deliver it sooner, to get the same discount but delivered in the next few days.

It always arrive early than expected date. Also claims can be submitted within sixty (60) days from the date of purchase so you are safe.

You should also receive £26.00 promotional claim code for Adobe Creative Cloud Photography Plan 20GB and £1 off Norton 360 Deluxe 2021, Antivirus software for 3 Devices and 1-year subscription, no good to me anyway.

They will tell you anything at the moment.

They are intent on not supplying the sanitizer here I dont know whether its to do with the alcohol content or most likely its the cost of shipping.

Just to add when I was in email contact with the seller they offered to give me a quote (needed my address) for the supply and delivery of the 96 bottles but did concede that delivery costs would be high. I told them not to bother as it was never going to come anywhere near Amazons price.

Ah.

I just went and cancelled my order. I have already used my £10 prime day voucher from that purchase, hopefully Amazon don't nab me for it!

My latest chat escapade has them promising it will be shipped by the 30th. My agent disconnected, got shifty with me when I said 'hello' and forced her return and then asked if I had any other issue for her to deal with today, completely ignoring the fact that we hadn't resolved this issue yet. I just left as it was getting frustrating but I'll go back on June 30th when my order is inevitably not shipped as it's almost amusing seeing what they come back with. Amazon of old would have offered a £5 credit or something at this point.
