Actually..

ATTENTION ALL WHO DIDN'T KNOW!

I just noticed if you go to Firebox.com and browse. Click on the product you want and the URL will typically be like this..

http://www.firebox.com/index.html?dir=firebox&action=product&pid=599 = Desktop Coffee Maker at £9.95 with £13.00 shipping! :eek:

Change the 'www' at the beginning of the URL to 'cdwow' like so:

http://www.firebox.com/index.html?dir=firebox&action=product&pid=599

CHANGES TO

http://cdwow.firebox.com/index.html?dir=firebox&action=product&pid=599

And there you go, Desktop Coffee Maker at £9.95 with FREE shipping!

EDIT: Actually doesn't work... sorry about that! But product doesn't seem to register when added to cart. Thought i was onto something there!

Yep.. was on my to-buy list but refuse to pay £13.00 for shipping!!

Hence, the plea i made here a couple of months back when i found out they were selling similar ones in Boots but sold out everywhere. And Boots don't ship to Ireland!

£13.00 is a bit steap alright. Hmm. My sisters going to the UK in at the end of Feb. Might have one sent to my other sister so she can pick it up (Only £13.90 inc shipping if going to the UK)

Am holding out for it being on the CDWOW listings soon... or the aunt is getting a call!

I have one of those £5 vouchers for Firebox that we floating about a while ago.

I can't see any where to use it on the cdwow site. Is it possible to use them do you think?

Doubt you can..!

CDWOW probably reckon they think it's enough with the free shipping and delivery than to also accept vouchers along with it.

Slightly off-topic but the reason I'm bringing it up here is because you mentioned it and I nearly bought it from Firebox just before Christmas. The Sensible Soccer TV game was available in Dixons just after Christmas for 20 Euro (I got one in Liffey Valley), which was less than half-price. Limited stock though.

Has anybody seen this in Dixons recently?

I ordered something during the week (9th January) from the cdwow. It arrived today. Very quick turn around.

Seems to have been sent directly from Firebox too. Free shipping

Thanks for the tip basquille.
