To be pissed of with Amazon?

[whackamole]

Got an email from them the other day - 30% off selected toys and games. Brilliant - the scooters I wanted for my twins birthday were on offer from £20 to £16. So I bought them, and they were delivered super quick.

Have just gone back on as I thought that maybe DSS would like a scooter as well, he is too big for his old bike and tbh we don't really have room for one. It brought up the ones I have already bought and now they are only £14 each!

WIBU to return and rebuy, considering I don't actually need them till January 17th? Or am I just being a tightarse?

FWIW I wouldn't pay return postage as OH would post from work

[tigermoll]

That is irritating, but seriously, all the hassle of returning, re-ordering, being in to collect, etc? All for four quid?

Treat yourself to not giving a shit about it

[Liluri]

Seems a lot of faff for a £4 saving.
Not sure why you're pissed off with Amazon - their prices change often in order to stay competitive.

[NeuromanticisedVisionsofXmas]

You are willing to do that for 4quid? Well knock yourself out.

Why are you pissed off at Amazon though? It's called business....

[Pandemoniaa]

On that basis I could be equally pissed off that having waited until the Delia Christmas Cakes in a box went down to £7.50 on Friday before buying one, I now discover they've reduced the sodding things to a £5. I don't blame Waitrose. I blame myself for losing my nerve and not holding out for longer!

[Ragwort]

The Sainsburys Make Your Own cake pack was down to £2 yesterday -jfyi .

[whackamole]

I know you're all right. It's just annoying when you think you have got 'the' Christmas deal only to find out that less than a week later they are going to have an even better one! (I have done most of my shopping online, resisting the urge to check everything now!)

Therefore, I must resign myself to becoming exactly like my dad, a tightarse, and returning it, or not and sucking it up.

Think I won't and just silently seethe for about 10 minutes and then treat myself to a biscuit or three for being so sensible.

Oh, and naturally should be 'off' not 'of' in OP!

[BendyBob]

Blimey all that packing and re-labelling for 4 quid?? I don't think I'd be too upset. (Dh probably would though )

I like Amazon. It's saved me 100's of hours trawling round shops. Mind you if it doesn't all arrive on time I might feel differently this time next week..

[whackamole]

Oh Bob I love Amazon really! Just feel a bit put out really.

And - touch wood - most of the big stuff I order that comes via courier comes by Hermes and the guy is lovely. Always shows up just as I get in the bath though.

[MrsPeterDoherty]

the price guarantee only applies if the price drops after you've ordered and before the goods are sent.

£4 is not woth the hassle, but I have been known to rebuy presents in the January sale and return them using the originsl receipt...

[MogTheForgetfulCat]

If they were 30% off at £20, then they should have been £14, so you were overcharged. Kick up a fuss!

[discrete]

Mog is right, 30% off should be 14. Worth checking with them to see if the original price was a mistake?

[whackamole]

Hmmmm...you're right. And have just checked my statement and was charged £28, so £14 each

So, in answer to my own AIBU, Yes, IABVU as I was only charged £14 and neglected to check my statement. Oops

[Lilyloo]

Lol

[blackoutthexmaslights]

ha ha just as well you decided against it

[weevilswobble]

Respect to you for telling us you were wrong.
I sell on Amazon and bastard Amazon stock the product i sell and always adjust their prices to undercut. I only get a sale when Amazon are out of stock. Grrrr.
