Bargain hunters spot high street retailer is giving away ‘FREE’ Christmas cards due to packaging error
Share:
THE budget party shop Cardfactory is offering free Christmas cards after a packaging error affected the production of some multipacks. The retailer sells 40-packs for £1.99, but due to the production problem, it currently has a buy-one-get-one free deal so you can get 80 for the same price.

A sign in one Kent branch reads: “Due to a packaging issue we cannot guarantee that each Christmas card multipack will contain exactly 40 cards as described.”. The multipacks contain five different designs including Santa, a village Christmas scene, a polar bear, presents and a simple traditional design.
The notice goes on to explain that the product is being sold “as is” - meaning that customers won’t be able to return or exchange the packs according to the usual returns policy. The bargain was first spotted by shoppers on HotUKDeals. It’s understood the offer is in multiple stores and flying off the shelves - meaning you’ll need to be quick to get a free pack.
The Card Factory was approached for a comment. It is not the first time the Card Factory has offered shoppers the chance to nab a bargain. Back in September, one customer picked up £87 worth of goods for £5.30 after the retailer decided to slash the price of cards to 10p to make way for Christmas stock.
The shopper managed to grab party bags and cards for nearly 75% off. Retailers sometimes give away Christmas products for free as they know they won’t be able to shift them in the New Year. For example last year Waitrose handed out the soft toy from its Christmas advert to shoppers in its stores after the character proved unpopular with youngsters.
