Christmas shopping on-line....

[xCorkettex]

I have planned alot of my shopping in the larger stores and combined with offers i will be saving money too (I plan to buy 12 big/expensive presents from one store) but theres a problem........
everyday i log in to buy it all (i have the money ready!) there is always one or more of the items thats either sold-out or unavailable
I need to get them all at the same time so i get the free postage and the offers,
and i really want to get this stuff before i get tempted to splurge the extra cash i have put aside!
Anyone else got/had this problem?

If it gets close to xmas and its the same, il have to choose different stores/items too.
Very annoying.

the problem i have is my credit card has been cancelled due to a fraud transaction. so i cant get what i want off line.

I would email the shop and explain they may give you free delivery when the item comes in, worth a try? x

OOh i didn't think of that one Jasmineivy!I put my order through before i saw these replies.
I will know for next time (hopefully there wont be a next time though).
I had to chnage my items-my lad wanted the lego police station but has got the playmobil police headquarters instead, im sure he wont mind once he starts playing with all his new toys on crimbo day
