As they are advertising I’d thought I’d get some BUT chose not to as they only post them & charge £2;50 -WHY? - Just a thought as this is How to make caravanning cheaper why are they not e-vouchers - like every where else - come on Club!

I don't think it is as big an issue as some are making it out to be.

Enough of an issue to not be a consideration for me though

Goodness me, there's some sensitive sausages out there. 

It seems to me that if you are regular Club Site members, this is a fantastic offer that suits both the Club and the member. If you think you are going to use Club sites in the coming 18 months, this is a wonderful saving. I have booked £600 for £500 and I am certainly not grumbling over a £2.50 postage and package charge. Why on earth would I?

And clearly, those ditching the club for a few months will be coming back to higher prices to cover the shortfall. No doubt they will have a little moan about that too.

Have a bit of perspective folks.

Thankyou but there’s nothing wrong with my perspective which is dosed with realism.

Please will you desist from being offensive to fellow members. Perhaps you’ve not read the guidelines/T&Cs which you’ve agreed to abide by.

Enjoy your stays on site.

I note your abrupt and curt response.

I made a positive comment about the excellent initiative. Perspective is perhaps relative. In my life, currently, a £2.50 postage charge on a £100 generous saving is way, way off the top of my concerns list.

I am sorry I touched a sensitive nerve.

If I saw something in a sale with a 20% reduction, I would either buy it because it was good value, or not buy it, because it wasn't. If it was an online sale, I would expect to pay delivery. If I didn't want to pay delivery, I wouldn't buy it.

If I did buy it and it then appeared not to be what I expected, I would send it back immediately and explain why.

Is it more complex than that? Really?

Clearly this is a business move that will create cash-flow for the Club and provide those members who wish to chance their arm a go at saving some money. I can see absolutely nothing wrong with that approach. I bought after the initial period and the terms and conditions were perfectly clear to me. I appreciate that some people will have skirted over the ts&cs having looked in previous days, but if I am spending hundreds of pounds on something, being a frugal Yorkshireman, I tend to double check these things.

Has anyone tried sending their vouchers back later than 14 days after receipt? What response did you get?

And how much is membership these days? Peanuts. I won't be cancelling anytime soon.

It has nothing to do with the, in my eyes, reasonable charge of £2.50 for courier delivery.

To call folk "sensitive sausages" and then state the following is not conducive to harmony.

"And clearly, those ditching the club for a few months will be coming back to higher prices to cover the shortfall. No doubt they will have a little moan about that too." 

We are all entitled to our opinions and should be entitled to express them without being ridiculed.

There's no need to apologise to me as you have not touched a sensitive nerve. Your apology should be directed to the many people you may well have offended by name calling and insinuation.

I totally agree, no mention of the £2.50 postage charge, you order vouchers on the internet and they post them unbelievable, what a waste of money and resources what not send as e -vouchers, I went to order some but I’m not paying the postage.  Get up to date caravan club and be open in your advertising.

If I have offended anyone with my comments, I apologise sincerely. Please let me know so I can put that right.

Tinwheeler - You point out in particular two things:

1. The delivery not being an issue in your eyes; Perhaps you would allow my point to stand in that some people on here quite clearly find that a problem, so much so that they would deny themselves the savings they could make?

2. Then, my comment that some will decry the inevitable price rises as a result of cancelled membership; I am sure you aren't pretending that this won't/hasn't already happened? Whilst it is an unwelcome proposition, it is a simple truth that it is likely to be most necessary. There are already people expressing their dissatisfaction at the prospect - far greater than the 'little moan' I gently described they were having.
