Still no email... godammit

Looks like it was a mistake - would probably have been entered on a database hence the 92% off banner and the different colours all being the same price. Hopefully they will honour it though for those who already ordered - especially if you have had confirmation emails :)

Just a note though - people are aware this is a high backed booster type seat, not a toddler seat? Of course if you've ordered it thinking it was a toddler seat no bother - just means it will need putting away for a while, it still looks a very good quality seat :)

Shall we start a MN Campaign if they don't honour it? I feel the need to burn my bra and chain myself to some railings somewhere - it's been a quiet night in the Cat household (and I desperately want that car seat)

EddieIzzardismyhero · 24/08/2010 21:44

Yes, we will store them in the garage until our little ones are big enough for them Smile. We'll probably curse the bloody boxes every time we trip over them, but too good a deal to turn down!

EddieIzzardismyhero · 24/08/2010 21:45

maisie, feel free, I'll applaud you from the comfort of my armchair Grin!

StealthPolarBear · 24/08/2010 21:47

I would have had seven :)

StealthPolarBear · 24/08/2010 21:48

moral of the story - never leave MN even for a second

PeasPlease · 24/08/2010 21:53

OMFG I paid £89 for the red one from Halfords recently Envy

It Is an excellent seat.

Maisiethemorningsidecat · 24/08/2010 21:53

I shall expect a thermos of hot chocolate and several tins of cake please - and a tartan wool blanket would be nice, thank you.

Altogether now "We shall, we shall not be moooooooved"

TotorosOcarina · 24/08/2010 22:03

I ordered 4, but 1 each for my 2 boys and 1 for my aunt for her son and one for my sister and they will be giving me £9 each, lol.

EddieIzzardismyhero · 24/08/2010 22:16

I think that would be the very least I could do maisie Grin!

NoahAndTheWhale · 24/08/2010 22:24

Bother - could have done with one or even two as keep having to transfer seats between cars. But such is life.

Feenie · 25/08/2010 10:05

Some posts on HUKD saying they've spoken to Customer Services who say it was an error and our orders will be cancelled. Sad Some conflicting posts also though, situation still seems very ambiguous.

Feenie · 25/08/2010 10:13

My order status, however, says 'dispatching soon', so they are taking a while to sort it out even if they are cancelling them.

xkaylax · 25/08/2010 10:27

I really could have done with one also.. oh well Sad

EasilyConfusedIndith · 25/08/2010 10:28

Rats. Ds needs a new carseat too. Back to persuading gandparents to get him onbe for christmas then.

xkaylax · 25/08/2010 10:31

EasilyConfusedIndith · 25/08/2010 10:33

StealthPolarBear · 25/08/2010 10:36

Indith, how are you feeling?

EasilyConfusedIndith · 25/08/2010 10:37

Meh. Have more drugs though Grin

StealthPolarBear · 25/08/2010 10:38

oh dear!
Hope they are good ones

MrsDrOwenHunt · 25/08/2010 11:25

well they have taken the money and my order is still showing as being processed and no email yet so its a waiting game now!!

Maisiethemorningsidecat · 25/08/2010 12:27

Does anyone dare phone them to query it, or do we all sit tight and hope they either don't notice or feel sorry for us and do the honourable thing? I'm dying to know - but I'm too much of a chicken to stick my head above the parapet

No, I beleive teh people who have phoned have ruined it for everyone already Grin. My (made-up) belief is that they would have been automatically shipped out otherwise before it was noted.
