Title: Long shot, Machine Mart VAT free code
Post by: SMD on 17 November 2012, 15:00:14
Went to Costco today to buy the Arcan 3 ton jack but they only had the ally 2 ton one. Went to MM to get the Clark one and asked about the VAT free promotion. They are currently doing it but its invitation only and I haven't received one despite being on their system as a previous customer.

So does anyone have one they don't intend to use?

Thanks.  ;). Just to double check, are the codes assigned to a particular account

If you don't get any joy I could possibly pick one up for you and drop it down during the week :-\ :-\

Possibly, but no reason to be shopping elsewhere when you buy, might be able to use it online too.

Thanks Lazydocker, tempted but concerned if the jack fails then I won't have a receipt so no comebacks.  :-\ which store will you go to?

Would be Ipswich store. The receipt will be kept for several years due to business reasons ;) but I understand the concern. How much is the jack you're looking at?

Yes please Mr razzo, is there any links to your own account? If you send it asap, I might be able to pick one up today.

LD, jack costs £100

It you buy in store, you have to return to that specific store for warranty purposes. PITA. I've fallen foul of it  :'(

Reminds me, I need another jack myself, as my Clarke one has expired again.

Will probably get another Arcan one. Heavy, but far better than the Clarke one.

I would get the arcan too but the local Costco don't sell it. There is another branch but its a 35 mile round trip just to check if they have it in stock
