I once ordered a network switch and 20 x 1m patch cables, in one order from one supplier, with one despatched email. Postie had to deliver 21 packages, he was properly pissed off

Perhaps it wasn’t sold and fulfilled by Amazon.
If not, third party sellers will go do what they want

My emails don’t say, just a price. They used to list items, don’t know why it’s changed

Your order history will tell you

Right, I get that. But people are saying the email will tell you but it’s not strictly true.
Trying to be clear for the person who asked

I'd noticed the dispatch notifications no longer say what is in the package, no idea why they have changed that.

Since the emails have a ‘track my package’ link in them I expect they want you to click and then wahay! you’re back in the amazon site and you more likely to do a bit of extra shopping.

Even the "track my package" just goes to a page showing you the parcel details, not the contents. But I agree with getting you on the site again.

Tempted to cancel my Echo Dot still another month till delivery!

[ajprice]

It's that time again, today and tomorrow. Anything good on offer so far?

Not had a proper look, but if you're after Amazon devices, this and Back Friday seem to be the only sensible time to buy them.

I'm after a new induction hob after I knocked the extractor hood down on the old one last week, and a sonic bath for cleaning bike bits.

I’m in the market for a strimmer, so been holding off for a couple of weeks. Looks like 20-30% off most brands for house and garden tools so it’s been worth waiting.

Ordered a fire 8 HD kids addition for £69

[techguyone]

I've got (so far)

4k Firestick
Echo 4
Echo 8 show (gen2)
Echo dot 4
Echo dot 4 with clock x 2
2 x tp-link smart bulbs


Yes, I've been waiting a long time for these deals (I use camel camel camel) and am happy with the prices during this period.

Just ordered a Ring spotlight battery camera.

Me too, just ordered one that will use the same batteries as I have on other stuff. All in all a significant saving. OK whilst it's a body only 36 volt one, only for light duties, not for cutting down woodland. Hopefully ok.

Because Google were scraping amazon emails and finding what people were buying so they could show more relevant ads.
Amazon took exception to this as it's only them allowed to spy on folk.

I'm guessing most of you have access to Prime already but if you don't then I found this link: https://amzn.to/2SHVmfG where you can sign up for 99p for a week and cancel before the full subscription is charged in order to just take advantage of the Prime Day deals.

Autoglym and whisky!

I don't find sets like this very useful. They contain one of each bit, so if you ever strip the bit or lose it then the whole set is compromised.

You'll be using that PZ2 bit for most DIY, even the best bit will wear out fairly quickly and then you're off to buy another set.

You can buy all those bits individually.

TV deals look poor, unless i'm looking at the wrong ones - LG/SAMSUNG seem only around 8/10% off.

I'm keen on a SONY yet no deals afaik ... yet? do they all drop at the same time or is it at different times throughout the day to keep you going back?
