I can only see one thing that doesnt add up L , they say 10% off the price , which i assume was £25 , so the discounted price should be £22.50 not £23.75

Unless the 10% discount is an additional amount off £22.25 when you put the code in ???

telmel well spotted Tel, I am glad I am not yet addled. What gets me is that delivery is bound to be more than £1.25 so you would end up spending more than £25 which is the normal price without offer and with free delivery. These people must think we are stupid lol.

Lynibis Another company trying a supermarket ploy L , as it is targetted at kids maybe they hope they wouldn't notice 🤔

telmel yes, I did write a polite email which did reach them as I got an auto response saying they would be in touch within 48 hours, which has now passed.

You would think they would acknowledge their error but of course they don't have to answer to anyone.

How interesting. Maths clearly isn't their strong point.... as has already been pointed out.

For arguments sake I put the book in my basket, added the code and they did take off 10% - the book price became £21.37.

I didn't want to continue to discover how much postage would be but on this link uk-support.bookshop.org/en/support/solutions/articles/65000177774-how-much-does-postage-cost- it says

We currently offer two delivery options with Royal Mail for deliveries within the UK:

2nd Class tracked service (£3.99 or free shipping above £25) - order by 3pm for delivery within 3-5 days (Monday - Saturday).

1st Class tracked service (£5.99) - order by 4pm for delivery within 1-3 (7 days per week*).

The cheapest option would still bring the price to more than £25!

It's anomalies like this that make you think you are going mad 🤪
