Free DAB Digital Radio

[Muncher]

I got a magazine sent to me from Staples today, on the front and back covers are full page adverts for a Free DAB Digital radio from them with your first order online or phone.

www.staples.co.uk


There appears to be no terms like minimum purchase necessary or anything like that, though it is only while stocks last.

I ordered 4 mechanical pencils for 99p and it processed the order for a free DAB radio, £4.85 delivered


The free gift code is "1P-REMOTE"

[pmanson]

How do you know whether you've got the free gift?

I've put in the pencils and with delivery that comes to £2.85!

Ah Then they add VAT!

I ordered an eraser (just to be different), and put 1P-REMOTE as my gift code. The invoice shows a gift, but doesn't say what it is... but for the sake of 99p + P&P, it's worth a shot.

Do you know what brand/model of digital radio it is? "Kitchen radio" or portable?

[hedders]

Looks interesting, I have ordered a notepad (which actually works out to £7 with postage and VAT!!! )

No mention of a radio, but it seemed to accept the gift code.

It's a "Sonic Line" one.

Central bit, 2 speakers in wooden boxes and a remote control.

I'll scan the cover in a minute.

Cheers. Am wondering if there's something in the small print along the lines of "if we run out of digital radios... we'll send you a pencil"?

Seems a bit too good to be true...

One Gel pen plus DAB radio ordered. If I receive a vibrating toy I will of course forward it on to you Muncher!

This is all sounding like the infamous cheap PalmPC from Amazon cock-up.

I doubt if you will get it.

[Muncher]

Arse, just realised it doesn't mention it's DAB

[blueski]

Here's the catch - by "digital" they mean digital FM/MW/LW tuning, rather than DAB digital. So it's a completely standard radio... nothing new, fangled or digital about it.

[hedders]

Damn....

I can see why that happened though!

You mean i have just spent £7 for a radio and a notepad? Oh well

The cookies look very tempting though!

I quite fancy the danish biscuits though. Now, what can I spend £100 on....

Staples said:

Claim you free 454g tin of butter cookies when you spend over £100....blah blah blah etc....

Maybe a vibrating toy would have been more useful
