It's pretty heavy and the set is £40 on there. I only paid £6.50! I'm going to email and see what they say.
I admire your honesty but it is Amazon, they won’t notice - think of it as Jeffrey Bezos’ Christmas present to you 😅

I’d be surprised if they make you return them. You can donate or resell the spare books 🙂

Guys what should I do? I've ordered my daughter volume 3 of Heartstopper,and they've sent me volumes 1 to 5? This is Amazon btw. I've only been charged for the 1 book 😲
I once ordered a Christmassy reed diffuser and they sent me a box of about 15. Guess what everyone got as a stocking filler that year 🤔. The universe thought you deserved a win, take it!!.

I need help with Xmas puds!

I don't have a microwave so can I heat up a supermarket pud on the stove without boiling it for 5 hours? How long do they take to warm if they are pre-cooked?

I have an air fryer if that is an option?

I'm trying to avoid jumping up during dinner to mess about with a pudding on the stove.

Any advice gratefully received. (First Xmas hosting for 30 years). My Mum is 85 so I thought I'd better give the poor woman a break although I have had to wrestle the honour out of her hands.

Love that! A few Christmas’ ago I bought a mug from M&S with the letter J on for a present. I ended up receiving a box of 6.
I only knew 2 people with J names so it wasn’t a big win like yours was 😂

Keep them! If shes already read 1 and 2, stick those on Vinted and give her the rest for Christmas!

Ha ha brilliant!! Think I'd have re gifted as 'Just my favourite neighbour/friend' etc 🤣.

Whilst we're admitting to being felonious. I also ordered 2 x sea monkey starter packs from Amazon and received 20. I still have quite a lot of those if anyone likes sea monkeys?..

I feel bad that im basically dishonest. We have just moved, had 3 toys saying delivered, they hadn't been. So complained and made a right fuss to Amazon, got the money back then a few days later our new neighbours knocked the door with my parcel which Amazon had delivered to them. So got 3 toys and because Bezos is minted I dont even feel bad? Am I going to hell?

We once didn't get a Roblox voucher, or so we thought. We found it in-between our bins a few weeks later. Amazon had already refunded and didn't seem bothered when I messaged to apologise.

Ive an amazon voucher and ordering one of them for my son, I so hope we get 20 😂😂 did they work? I remember having one as a kid and nothing happened!

I'm honest in that ive found multiple phones, cameras, money and an engagement ring this year alone - handed it all in. A companies error though, that's a gift 😂 Am I rit ringing up the richest man in the worlds company, the man who put ads on prime unless I pay even more and telling him they've sent me an extra 3 quid colouring book. Compensation for the ads 😂

Just keep it. They overcharge us and he just spent billions going to space. They really won’t miss the £20

I ordered 3 pairs of dance tights in September on Amazon and received 6! I haven’t said anything though! They are packed away for the future! I was also way too busy at the time to consider returning them! It’s probably more difficult to get in touch with Amazon customer services to arrange a return!

I haven’t bought a single present for Christmas! 🙈 I have an idea of what to get my dad, but it’s also his birthday this month. No idea what to get for my mum who doesn’t need anymore jumpers or clothes, and her birthday was a couple of months ago! Have an idea about my brother but I don’t think he is that bothered. I haven’t seen my nephews since April so have no idea if they are still into the same things. Hopefully I will know next week if I will see them over Christmas - long story.🤞🏻🙏🏻
I hate not being organised but also not knowing what to buy really hinders that! I don’t want to be rushing around after work a few days before Christmas! 😩

Apologies for popping up out of nowhere, but who posted initially about Devon Wick? I placed a bumper order due to the discounts. Based on how long they last, I think I have a decade's worth under the stairs 🤣 They're great though, I also bought some fancy St Eval candles but the Devon Wick wax melts have much more scent and staying power - and not in a cloying way either.

I've been smitten by the Sassy Scents and love Cashmere Cleanse. No idea what it's based upon but it's one of the few items that people will always comment on as making me smell incredible. Given I've a big dog, it's definitely appreciated.

100% agree! If it was a small business, I would definitely get in contact and let them know. Amazon however, is a trillion dollar company and Jeff can absolutely afford to give you some extra books 😅

Could you keep 4 and 5 for future presents for your daughter if she hasn’t read them yet? Donate to charity after they’ve been read 🙂
