Can't work out how to get it ... any ideas anyone??

Regarding the BSL freebie - I've been told they are going to add an option to say where you heard about their site (childminding forum) and then you get the freebie with your order.

**miffy** · 08-01-2008, 10:11 PM

Thanks Pauline for checking that out

If I were you I'd email them and ask what to do, they must have some alternatives.

I reguarly order from this site i have just ordered an ethnic boy doll and a book the inspector call they are 2 girls who work together and they used to be minders.
The site is very good and i have never had any problems i have had books and posters off them and they have always been very good quality

i have just ordered some stuff too
but i paid through google checkout and the opportunity to leave the information wasn't there so i've emailed them to ask am i still eligible for the free gift

watch this space

**nannan** · 10-01-2008, 08:10 PM

thanks Pauline, I've just had a look and it looks great,

**ajs** · 10-01-2008, 11:15 PM

i got a lovely email from them today apologising for the fact that they haven't set up google checkout and the free gift
they also said that as what i'd ordered was the free gift then they would refund the value of the free gift on my order. which to them is more expensive then giving me a free gift.

i did say that if they prefered they could just give me another free gift to the same value which is cheaper for them and that i would leave it up to them
but great service so very happy to recommend them
