Dear all.
Please be advised that we cannot just add your hexus free delivery due to the unique token system that is in place which generates them once you pass the 20 posts threshold.
If you have a post count UNDER 20 posts - then we cannot activate your free delivery. No amount of emailing scan directly will rectify this - you simply need to have 20 CONSTRUCTIVE posts and to associate your accounts once the systems have synched up.
Best Regards,
I would add that the HEXUS mods can and do delete posts that are not constructive. Two word posts such as "I agree" fall into that category. In extreme cases we will reset post counts and/or exclude the poster on the grounds of spamming.
We want HEXUS to be a pleasant experience for all users, and joining in fully is more likely to give you that.
I was just wondering, when you mention about constructive posts are these approved as we post new replies etc.?Quote:

There is a minimum order value of £20 EXCLUDING VAT
If it's 23.99 incl standard rate VAT, then the ex-VAT price will be 19.99, i.e. 1p short. Which seems harsh, but the a line has to be drawn somewhere.
My advice - buy something else which is less than the 4.57 delivery charge and it should then (if you qualify) trigger free delivery, meanng you still get to save money, and have the "something" as well.
Personally, I still think thus is a good deal and the £20 limit is pretty low and hasn't changed in years. It'll still cost Scan to deliver a 19.99 purchase, and that cost must eat into any profit on that. I think we do well to still get it at £20. Good on you, Scan.
I agree. :mrgreen:Quote:

Yes - it sounds likely it was below the threshold.
Very good suggestion Saracen.
I am getting this message when I try to link my Nexus account with Scan
Your HEXUS account is not found - please check your details and try again.
Any idea why this might be please?
Edit - is now working, Nexus is not counting all of my posts for some reason but I just made a purchase with free shipping :)
Resurrecting old threads purely for the purpose of boosting your post count does not constitute ‘useful contribution’ and your post count may be adjusted accordingly.Quote:

Broadly, the line is .... is this someone making quickest 20 posts they can, that don't really offer a contribution, just to get free shipping? If the mods think do, post count is likely to get adjusted as the tie-up offer is supposed to be a benefit offered by Scan to genuinely contributing members, not something to be abused for free shipping.
At least, that's how I understand it.
Thank you for the very in depth and polite reply!
My posts were all 'contributing' as far as I could tell and I hadn't planned on quitting the forum after 20 posts either. I thought as long as a thread wasn't closed then it was fine to write another post in it, I didn't realise that was frowned upon. I must admit I have been a bit put off making posts now and feel like I am treading on egg shells. I usually have long sessions posting in forums and chat sites as I have a physical condition that prevents me from being able to do much else.
Thanks again for your time ;)
Experience tells us that a rapid rate of posting couple with old thread resurrection often indicates someone posting for the postage.Quote:

We know a bit more about you now and welcome you to HEXUS and your future participation.
Thank you very much, I will try to keep up the quality posts ;)
This is probably a stupid thing to ask but are replies to posts counted as 'posts'. In my mind a post is a new thread/conversation so I'm leaning towards that they aren't. Also is the activation automatic or do I need to advise Scan?
Thanks
Scan are asking for Hexus User ID and Hexus Username - whats the difference?
User name is your forum handle. User id is a membership number, it's listed at the footer of any page you browse on the Hexus sections of the forums.Quote:
