Free gifts, VAT cut & 'Spot the ball'

Date released: 3 December 2008

With Christmas just weeks away the Lord's Shop website, ShopAtLords.com have a special promotion; delivery price cuts - plus a fun competition.

If the cap fits: Support England in the World T20 - just £15 If you're short of gift ideas for the cricket fan in your life, the Lord's Shop has a range of options to suit every budget.

From signed books to DVDs; an Ashes urn to elegant cufflinks there's a present to suit every cricket fan from six to sixty (or older!).

And in the build-up to Christmas every order of £25 or more (excluding postage) will receive a special, free gift: a 10" autograph mini cricket bat - worth £5.

VAT cut - postal prices cut

Following the Chancellor's decision to cut VAT from 17.5% to 15%, ShopAtLords.com have decided to pass the price benefits on to customers - starting from Thursday 4 December.

ShopAtLords.com manager, Christian Ternofsky explains: "Two and a half percent is an awkward amount. 21 pence off one item, 56 pence off another - it all gets quite fiddly.

"To save confusion, we've decided to cut our postal costs by £1. That way all our customers benefit, at a time of year when every penny counts.

"As an added benefit, spend more than £25 and I'll send you a free mini-bat worth five pounds."
