To think Aldi Rattan sofas are the new Hamilton tickets?!

Tried to get hamilton tickets pre lockdown several times. Failed every time.

Today I tried to get an Aldi rattan sofa. Sold out at 8.02am. There were still 11000+ people ahead of me! This isn't the first time I've failed getting these.

Anyone else feel my pain?!

I remember years ago trying to get one of those Anya Hindmarch 'I'm not a plastic bag' bags. I got to my local Sainsburys at opening time for 7am (opening time) to find out they all went at midnight. Tried a number of store throughout the day, as well.

Why? Are they super-cheap compared to other ones, or really nice? I haven’t seen them.

My friend was telling me about them, I think the are about £250 I have a bigger version with an adjustable table it’s at the more expensive end of rattan furniture and cost £1200. I saw planet of rattan garden furniture that was hitting the £2000 mark.

I've been trying to get one but ended up just buying a more expensive one. :( they are such a good price.

Why are people so obsessed with Aldi special buys ? Ok reasonable prices but people think they have to have them . You can get the same stuff in other places if you look .

My alarm is set for 11pm on the 26th of june for the 4 pc sofa set coming out. My friend has them and they are beautiful.

I already have an order from the range and they've moved the date 4 times. So if im lucky to get aldis, ill cancel the range, or sell them as they'll be brand new. I know they will go

Someone on fb was trying to sell access to their Aldi shopping "basket" with the rattan furniture in.. bonkers

justpoppy · 30/05/2021 09:46

The last time they sold them I went online at 7am and there were 53,000 people in front of me in the queue! It took over two hours to get into the website and by that time obviously they were all sold out. I only wanted the cushion covers not even the whole set.

MrsDThomas · 30/05/2021 09:46

How do you sell that?!

TO12T39FRQ · 30/05/2021 09:49

Is this Aldi special buy PLASTIC or RATTAN ?

Why another thread op!??

@MrsDThomas

How do you sell that?!
I'm guessing they wanted the money then they would give the buyer their aldi login and the buyer would checkout the basket?
