    Default 4.1 Surround System for £3.52

    Just noticed this on another forum...

    Staples (www DOT staples.co.uk) are offering a 4.1 surround sound system with for FREE for any first time customers. Just go to the website and add something cheap to your basket - I added the Bic Atlantis Ball Point Pen, blue Item Number 371412 @ 67p to my basket. Next, go to checkout and type in the following at the redeem gift box:

    2P-HOME

    This should then add the system to your basket and the total including delivery should be £3.52 or less if you have something even cheaper in your basket. Just remember it is for new customers / first time orders only.
    Apparently it has
    4 Surround Speakers
    Treble and Bass enhancement
    Subwoofer
    Connection to CD player, radio and computer (cables supplied)
    Model number is WEIFI D-4100

    The asterix in the picture refers to:
    *When ordering online, please enter the gift code in the gift field in the shopping basket. Free gifts are not available in store. While stock lasts.

    I saw this a few days ago but I know someone who already has it and says its awful so I didnt bother getting it or mentioning it here. Still it is only £3.52 for those that arent bothered about sound quality.

    Also, the 67p pens are not the cheapest thing you can buy on Staples site. I seem to remember there being pencils on there for a little over 30p.

    Nice one. I ordered a 34p pencil and added both codes, they were accepted but whether or not I get both is another thing. Says they are having technical difficulties at the warehouse and orders may take up to 5 days. Total order came to £2.75

    Please note that this is purely an order received confirmation email.
    This email does not constitute an acceptance of your order. We will send you further emails once your order has been processed and sent from our warehouse. Delivery is currently 5 working days.

    Cheers for that, given it a go, I hope where it says 'When you phone or fax' that they dont use that as an excuse to get out of our internet orders.

    It's a legit company, I think it's just that they're not going to honour the deals because they dont want to send out hundreds of surround sound systems for the price of a pencil and some postage.

    It does say for business customers only so they'll probably use that as an excuse if pushed. I'd tell them that I'm ordering it for a company but not many companys order their pencils in quantities of 1 with a postage cost of £3.50.
