Default Screwfix free delivery "trick"

So I order a £5 box of screws and £40 of vouchers to get free delivery.

Next time, I want a £5 hammer with free delivery so I pay £5 and use
the £40 vouchers to buy another £40 of vouchers to get free delivery.


I don't see why it shouldn't work, , but you end up with a hell of
a lot of vouchers.


Well bits of paper that have been redeemed the snag of course is the
interest free loan of £40 to Screwfix. Depending on often you order and
need "free delivery" the loss of interest may or may not be more than the
postage saved.

I wouldn't expect to be able to buy vouchers with vouchers but unless
they've really thought about it I bet you can.
