FOOKING HELL!! PMSL!! Sorry Spooky but you really did ask for that!!!

 

[janie]

whatever it is i won't be watching it - makes me feel sick seeing them all stuffing them in.

 

[BusyLizzie]

Thorntons themselves run some very good offers (often with free P&P) so it's always worth checking their own website.

Has anyone noticed that the ads on this forum relate to the topics, this one had a Thornton's ad?

TSV is Thorntons 1.43kg Assorted Continental Chocolate Bundle for approx £29.00

 

[Dame Fondacox]

Anyone tested the 30 MBG on Thorntons? Is it acceptable to send back the empty boxes or do you have to leave some chocolates in them?

 

[Spooky]

Oooh thank you SCW and Sazza, much appreciated.

Being housebound at the moment I just thought this may be ideal for Christmas gift ideas but four boxes of all Continental is a bit samey/boring, so I will give it a miss I think and go direct to their website, whereby I can choose anything from fudge to choccies to toffee, especially if the TSV is around the £30 mark after P&P, get loads of choice on there for that, maybe even a little something for me to keep :grin: :grin: sure the doctor mentioned something about chocolate's healing powers :wink:

These are made for QVc and the p&p is free.It is on the website now

For any man reading this and you have another half.

Dress up in black and surprise your woman with a box of Milk Tray. You will need to do something dramatic though like sky diving or fighting a shark on delivery. Or you could just get some Thorntons from QVC.

Why would anyone buy thorntons from QVC with such high rates of p+p, when supermarkets sell them for half the price thorntons charge in their shops? How sickly sweet - pardon the unintentional pun - do the presenters seem when they look as if they can't get enough of the chocolates? I'm not a chocolate/sweets person, but how many people actually cut a chocolate into pieces before consuming it?

 

[Spooky]

I think the sickly lady cuts them in half so we can see what they look like inside, all squidgy etc. I bought a Mint Collection from Tesco yesterday for £4, this was half price, QVC do it in a set but it still works out equivalent to a tenner! Asda are doing three boxes for £10 and Tescos had others for half price, jar of Melts for £5 instead of £10, so the fab prices are out there and there is no postage if you are in the shop anyway. I did an online order with a delivery charge so I got caught but I had no choice, but I wouldn't normally do this, I would always go into the shop.

my local wh smiths do a nice bag of mixed thorntons chocs for a £1.00 nice they were to!

 

[Greg]

My local Co-op was doing a huge box of Thorntons chocolates for a fiver. I was wondering what was wrong with them at that price... it kind of puts QVC prices somewhat overpriced.

I don't mean to sound snooty, but imvho Thornton's produce pretty mediocre chocolates. With shops like Hotel Chocolat and Montezuma's arriving on our high streets you can get top notch, and I mean top notch chocolates to give as gifts..ok, they're a bit dearer, but I'd rather have a smaller pack of something that's better quality.

Agree totally. There's no comparison between Thorntons and Hotel Chocolat.

Off topic, but why do QVC only mention P&P when it's free. Craig was making a big thing about the fact P&P is added when you buy from Thorntons' websibe. Funny how they don't even mention their extortionate charges usually.
