Infinite Wood Chip Glitch

Apologies for the flair I didn't know what to put this under.

Ok so not quite infinite, but I just had to share this with people that might appreciate it (I'm a newbie gardener so no one else is interested), but I was browsing the web trying to price up wood chip for my borders for next year so I could save up.

Disclaimer: I'm going to use fake numbers here to try to not give it away and ruin it.

And I stumbled on an error where the in page quantity selector priced one 50L bag as say £5, 10x 50L bags as £48, and 100x bags as £5.

Having 0 impulse control and thinking it would be a pretty funny thing to do I purchased the obvious error with full expectations that they'd refund me and cancel the order when they realised.

Except... I just received the dispatch notification and the tracking details are with a pallet delivery company.

Working it out I've saved ~£1337! And brought forward my gardening plan by a year!

The cherry on top? Free delivery.

On a separate matter, does anyone know what to do with excess wood chip?

EDIT1: RIP my inbox. But just to respond to all the requests here, I won't be sharing the link unless I know who's getting impacted (small UK business is a deal-breaker), and whether they send me a single bag on a pallet or not 😂

Also u/socksoncocksonsocks (lmao that username!) mentioned ChipDrop being an option people could use. Do check them out!

Please ignore the flooring! We'll be replacing it and also have a couple of rugs on the way. Lounge area will have the rug in pic 3.

The wall is about 4m long and I'm really struggling with how to decorate this wall.

I don't want to buy pieces just for the sake of it, so am happy to collect pieces over time, but I like such a large range of different styles, I'm not sure what sort of things specifically I should watch out for.

Appreciate any advice anyone has!

Thanks!

PS: The walls are limewash effect not bare plaster (ie: they're intentionally that colour/style). I know it's a Marmite situation for people but we love them and won't be changing them.
