I bought a Very returns pallet for £272 and got Lego sets, chic lamps and a posh tv base worth £59.99 | The Sun

THIS savvy shopper forked out £272 on a Very returns pallet in a bid to get some bargains.

The only problem is that she had no idea what would be included on the pallet, and if any of it would even work.


Holly and her husband Callum had previously bought a returns pallet from Argos, so they knew the risk they were taking and that they had no guarantee their gamble would pay off.

When the pallet arrived the pair were shocked by how big it was and dug straight in to see what they had purcahsed.

It was immediately obvious that a lot of the boxes were brand new, which was a good sign.

The first thing to catch Holly's eye was a Smeg kettle, that seemed to be brand new, Holly said: "I've been wanting one for so long!"

They also got a whole host of things for their kids, including a Lego Minecraft set, a Scuttle Bug scooter and a huge ride along unicorn.

Most impressively, there was a Little Tikes water table worth £69.99.

Holly explained: "We were quite concerned that it wouldn't have all the parts because it was a return, but it did and I'm really happy."

In addition to the Smeg kettle the pallet also featured three other kettles, only one of which appeared to be used and broken, but they even managed to fix it.

There was also two toasters, one of which had been used so much that the box was full of toast crumbs, but the other one appeared to be as good as new.

Other fun items included two chic lamps that only had minor damage that could be easily hidden, a reed diffuser, a plant pot and two fake topiary trees, which Holly gave to her mum.

It was clear that someone had made a bit of an ordering blunder when the couple discovered a set of four personalised mugs, despite having other people's names on them, Holly decided to keep them too.

"There's nothing wrong with them," she said.
