Grrrr, had put a cabin bed in the online basket on the M&S website, thought I'd wait till today (payday!) to place the order, only to find my shopping basket had been wiped as their sale started. No problem, went to add it back in only to find that the £475 bed with mattress is now a £449 bed without a mattress, and the mattresses start at £80. Called customer services who told me that some custoemrs didn't want the mattress that came with it so they reduced the price accordingly and you could choose your own - hmmm, "reduced price accordingly" - so where is this £26 mattress hiding then??? Looks more like a "we've increased the price by £54" to me!!
The customer services rep said that the offer had finished on the bed/mattress, to which I pointed out that nowhere on the catalogue page does it say it is a special offer or deal, it just says that it is part of their "outstanding value" range, which is the cheapest range they do in all departments.
Rant over. Pissed off now that I didn't order it yesterday, first time I've ever heard of prices increasing in a sale.
