Amazon Black Friday Deals Week 2012 Discussion Thread :D

[milk]

Starts today at 8 AM

Toys start at 10:45 AM :)

Don't refresh - it counts down (for me), stalls a bit at 0:00 then the yellow box comes up. No refreshing.

Damn, clicked on the wrong bit when trying for the Disney nightlight. The one thing I really bloody wanted.

Does anyone know whether the item gets put into your basket at the full price and then goes through at the reduced price?

Panicking a bit - thought I had a bargain pair of Cat boots for DH - and they went through at £90-something instead of £49.99.

Eeek.

Well, luckily I added myself to the waiting list for the boots as soon as I spotted that the first order went through at full price. I then had a webchat with an Amazon person, who didn't know what had happened. In the meantime, the boots became available again so I bought them at the reduced price and cancelled the full price order. Phew!

I probably clicked the wrong button or something . So the moral of that -rambling story is to KEEP AN EYE ON THE PRICE!

BTW: The basket showed the reduced price, then the delivery options page showed the full price, then the checkout page showed the reduced price again. Strange and confusing (or maybe that's just me!).

It's very confusing with the price, I bought the Let's Dance Disney for Wii earlier for 15.99. Once I had it in the basket and started clicking through to buy it went back up to 22.99 right up until the last click when it went back to 15.99 but then they also tried to move my free delivery to first class so keep an eye out for that to avoid getting stung with unwanted delivery charges!

Pleased it wasn't just me Guitar!
