Ho ho ho sleigh bells are a ringing, it’s christmas bargains thread number 3 with jingle bells on top of the christmas cake

[Reastie]

Special festive title for spottyteacakes . Here we go people, the THIRD bargain Christmas thread for 2013 already . Please forgive the fact that so many sale and amazon products aren?t individually linked or are linked but price may since change by the time you click on it - so many of them are out of stock and amazon seem to change prices on an almost hourly basis (it feels like) on a number of items that were previously linked to. As usual please tell me if any of these links/codes don?t work or if there?s anything particularly you want to be in the next OP (assuming there is another ) how would I do any shopping without you now

for all your help in helping my christmas shopping in 2013 be once again bargainous

Phew . Do I win the award for longest OP yet?!

I've just been phoned as well re the robot (but I wasn't in, my DM answered). Saying there was an error on the webpage and as a gesture of goodwill they will offer me the robot for £35. They've already taken my money though for £13.19 . They are going to ring me back later today.

Their CS is shocking if they hadn't realised it's already been sent out, surely their system would show it had been sent already?

Anyone know where we legally stand on this? I don't think I am the only one who has received it. I thought the money leaving the account along with the email confirmation was a contract?

They have to honour the order if they have sent you order confirmation or delivered the goods. I've only received order acknowledgement. As they don't have my number I'm pretty sure they will just give me the money back. I'm really annoyed and certainly won't be buying from them again. The money was taken out on Sunday, it's Thursday and I still haven't heard anything from them. That's awful CS.

starjules the legal position regarding the robots is this: the online shop is not obliged to deliver the items even if they have taken your money. So those who have not received the robot yet will likely have their order cancelled and money refunded.

For those whose robot has been despatched/received then the item has been contractually sold at the original price and you are not obliged to return the item or pay any difference in price (unless you wanted to!).

They definitely told me they'd be honoured. If they've changed their minds then I will be flipping furious!!!

I had a call earlier from a private number but ignored it... no doubt it was hope education then!!!! gutted

Moosey, out of interest what are you planning to say? they might call back later and assume I don't have a leg to stand on gutted though as the robot looks fab

2.6 These Terms shall become binding on you and us when: 2.6.1 we issue you with written acceptance of an Order (?Order Confirmation?); or2.6.2 we deliver the Goods to you, whichever is the earlier, at which point a contract shall come into existence between us (a ?Contract?). from their website.

Whoever has recieved their Robot has had their contract fulfilled by Hope Education

I am guessing with my accountants head on that they generally would honour mistakes but maybe they've equated the numbers and someone from above has put their foot down. I would guess they're making them at a loss at that price.

just been having a look online and tesco sell them for £32 although are currently unavailable. everywhere else seem to be £38 to £40.

personally I think their goodwill gesture is rubbish!!!!

Hmmm I would maybe say to them I would buy it for £30 (inc VAT and delivery) BUT they don't have my phone number so not sure what they are going to do...

ilove I was going to say that as they had sent an order confirmation, and taken money from my account and had a despatch date that assumed everything had been ok. And that a friend of mine had contacted them earlier in the week and said orders were going to be honoured.

Am guessing though that phone call will end with me asking for refund.

I have a feeling Argos did a deal on them at some point as their reviews mention it online. I would pay £20 for the robot

They've got my number but haven't heard from them. If they offer me that pitiful "goodwill gesture" then I'll happily say no and tell everyone just what they are like!

Moosey did they send you an order acknowledgement or confirmation? I only got an acknowledgement.

Moosey that goodwill gesture is rubbish. I complained about not being able to make an order and they offered it to me at £25 excl of vat which they said is their cost price. I didn't take them up it, hedging my bets on at least 25% off vtech stuff at some point somewhere somewhere I can get cashback.

spotty sorry, it was an order acknowledgement email. I'll update when they ring back

Hi
I'm sure I read on this thread about a message monster? Can someone link to that please

seems like they're offering different things to different people. If retail price is £40 then they're offering 25% off. personally I'm not surprised they're not honouring it but you'd think they'd actually put a goodwill gesture that is a gesture rather than just price matching. I'd rather use my clubcard vouchers to double up nearer Christmas. think I'll hedge my bets. think I'll camel camel it!!!

Hello all, just to say I ordered the robot after seeing it on this thread, they called me this afternoon to explain there had been a problem with the price and offer the same goodwill gesture as Moosey I stood my ground and quoted a few buzz words about consumer laws etc and they honoured the original price! Yippee! Thanks everyone for this thread, I have never been so organised or overspent in August

I also got a call about the robot and got offered it for £35. I knew a box had been delivered to my parents house but at the time of the call I didn't know whether it was definitely the robot or not. I said the money had been taken already and the lady said she'd send a refund.

Turns out the box is the robot they don't seem to know what's going on?

You lucky people. I will be annoyed if they refund mine without contacting me I'm tempted to phone them...

What did you say Mrssheepiness? I haven't had a phone call yet, but expect they will phone soon. Help me out please, I'm rubbish at negotiating.
