I just put my order through for this…… I completed the details clicked on the shopping cart, checked the price of shipping and then decided not to buy it. Went to close the window and a box popped up saying "don’t go we will give you free shipping"…..cool! So I get the book delivered for 1cent. You may want to try the same!

EDITED - The URL has been updated so that the free postage is applied up front. Thanks teaearlgrey!

Edited - JeffreyM: Sorry about the double edits - edited coupon code section to make clear that code is for free postage & not for the book itself.

******Edited - Trudy: Sorry about the triple edit. ;) The coupon code was for the book. the postage code is 31112. Edited the coupon code section.

    Great!

  • trudy on 09/09/2008 - 13:54

    When you are at the checkout page, where you enter your credit card and delviery details. Close this window and I got a pop up chat box where one of their staff chatted to me and gave me free shipping.

    I just closed the window again and got no pop-up. Maybe it is random. Maybe they recognised my return visit.

    • mawinmawin on 09/09/2008 - 14:42

      I dont think it is any staff, some auto bot sending the message.

      • trudy on 09/09/2008 - 15:17

        I think it is a bit of both because I had a little chat with her.

  • chichi on 09/09/2008 - 13:56

    Sorry I edited my reply before you replied as I got the pop up box. Cheers!

  • chichi on 09/09/2008 - 14:01

    Just wanted to check what your total was. I have an email confirming order and total is A$- 9.90.

    • cacbm on 09/09/2008 - 14:06

      I'm no good with math but that's a even better deal! :) They paid you $9.90 to make a book for your kid!

      • trudy on 09/09/2008 - 14:27

        My total was A$ 0.01. It is going to cost them more to process the 1 cent than giving it to me for free. I wonder if you will get a creidt for $9.90?

  • TeaEarlGreyHot on 09/09/2008 - 17:57

    No pop-up for me, so didn't order at $4.50 postage. :(
    Thanks anyway.

  • Car-la-la on 09/09/2008 - 18:15

    I'm a bit confused — do you still have to pay for postage on top of the $0.01 ??
    is there any way to get postage for free??

  • d3p on 09/09/2008 - 19:10

    it's working
    but u need to use internet explorer (mozilla firefox won't work)
    on shipping, close it, before u close, there will be pop up window
    lol… that's interesting

    • TeaEarlGreyHot on 09/09/2008 - 20:16

      OK, I musn't have been holding my tongue the right way the first four times I tried!!!
      "Chat" gave the new code of 31112, which when entered on the Check Out page (in place of 31319) gives an additional $4.95 discount ($4.50 shippng + GST) leaving $0.01 charged to Credit Card.
      I REALLY hope this isn't a scam to steal credit card details…………
      [ :- { )

      PS. Use this URL http://www.identitydirect.com.au/index.html?lang=en-uk&targe… (only the &mid value is different) and you'll get the "full" discount straight up!!!

      • trudy on 09/09/2008 - 20:47

        I have brought stuff from these guys in the past so I don't think it is a CC scam.

      • brisnicki on 09/09/2008 - 23:33

        Thanks for the link - made it easy ;)

      • zoeric on 10/09/2008 - 01:40

        Fantastic! Thanks for the link - maybe Scotty can update the link and coupon code on this page to make it easier as not everyone may read the comments and realise you can get the postage free too.

        • trudy on 10/09/2008 - 10:12

          I have updated the link

  • jamroro on 09/09/2008 - 20:34

    I just tried it and i think filled in all the details first (credit card etc) before I clicked close and the bot comes up and say enter 31112 in the code to get free postage, then i got an email to say i got for book for .01 & 0 postage…. so it worked!

  • BenK-Oz on 09/09/2008 - 21:58

    hmm identity direct, beware they will use your posting details to spam your snail mail letterbox.
    although if you need kids labels it might be ok ;)

  • chichi on 09/09/2008 - 21:59

    I have just emailed them about the A$-9.90 total. Very strange.

    • chichi on 12/09/2008 - 13:34

      Finally received a reply from them about my A$-9.90 total. I was advised that my total is in fact $4.96. So no free post.

      • TeaEarlGreyHot on 12/09/2008 - 13:38

        Bugger… :(

        • chichi on 12/09/2008 - 22:43

          Yep. I cancelled the order. Not paying postage if everyone else is getting it for free!!

  • POWERevolution on 10/09/2008 - 18:53

    Security concern here…
    Why I can't see the security padlock on the checkout on this site???

    • jong on 11/09/2008 - 02:54

      Parts of the page are encrypted, parts aren't, and some browsers won't show the padlock unless all of the page is encrypted.

      As far as I can see, the only unencrypted resource it's calling is the Google Analytics script, so it should be safe - but I could be wrong.

  • 11CENTS on 24/09/2008 - 18:34

    this is so weird
    my confirmation is $0.01, however, my CC was charged as $4.96
    now i said i want to cancel it, they told me, just wait till the product arrive and send it back, then we will refund you.
    that's ridiculous…

    • pauly on 25/09/2008 - 19:03

      I just checked my account, and they took $4.96 out too! The receipt I received in the email clearly states $0.01!

      I'll be calling them first thing Monday morning and demand for a refund. If they want me to send the item back, I would but only at their expense, otherwise I will be disputing the transaction with the credit card company as fraud.

      To others, make sure you check your credit card statement too.

  • Car-la-la on 25/09/2008 - 20:34

    i recieved my 8 books today - awesome add on birthday friends for my partner & friends

    i checked my credit card statement - i got charged a total of 8c
    thanks for a great deal!!

  • trudy on 26/09/2008 - 11:29

    I thought it was funny that within the story they say…and in Australia the children have their names printed on the stocking hanging on the beds…..what great self promotion! The book is ok but I don't think I would have bought it. They have another where you can upload a photo but I don't think it would turn out that great.

  • TeaEarlGreyHot on 03/10/2008 - 23:23

    Checked my bank a/c; been charged 2 x 1c for the 2 books I ordered for the nieces.

    Cheers,
    Live Long and Prosper.

  • zena on 16/10/2008 - 12:09

    Major Scam and I will not be buying from Identity Direct ever again! Having checked my CC like most of you I saw the charge of 1c (just as on the invoice at the checkout and in the email sent later to me). However, 2 days later there is a charge of $4.96 on my CC. The postage cost was meant to be $4.95 originally not $4.96. I wrote and asked them about this and they said the code was for "special people" and was only to be used for either free post or for the item @ 1c. Hellllllllo when I went to the Identity website it said 1c per book for everyone so whats the special people deal? Free post obviously. I just am mad that they have added charges without my consent or without even telling me they have done it not 1 but 2 days after the purchase. They have told me to return the books for a refund but the principle of it is adding amounts to my CC without my knowledge/permission and that is where I do find them negligent. I don't know if all of you have checked your CCs again but please do as you too may find the added cost.

  • trudy on 16/10/2008 - 12:38

    I am sorry everyone has had such a hard time with this one. I just posted my experience when I went to order. They handled this very badly. Emails before printing would have been much more acceptable. Have any of you thought to email the ACCC?
