    Posted this in Bargain Alerts but definantly worth noting here also.

    I only noticed today that CDWOW are selling products from Firebox.com but there's only 20 or so products listed on the main page with no distinguishable way of browsing products.

    But noticed this little trick why comparing the Firebox URL and the CDWOW URL for the same product. The trick is:
    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! :D

    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! :o

    Ah well... I don't think I could have afforded a £324,000 hover car anyway... free delivery or not.
