Since robotgate was beginning to fill up the third bargain thread I thought I'd start a dedicated thread here to save Reastie from having to write another mega op just a few days after the last one!

I haven't had my phone call yet and am actually excited for them to ring as I want to put my jargon into use (Is that weird??)

I have a dispatch date of 29th, really hoping that it shows up now.

The lovely iloveholidays took the trouble to post in legal for us and got some good advice. (Even though it was her birthday!) You can read that thread here:
pricing error

Is anyone else worried about the reports of hope charging full price after delivery? I can barely afford £13 for the robot - definitely not £40!

Mine arrived at 7.45am this morning. So excited! It's amazing, so very pleased with it.

Happy robot day! Wine

Grin glad the robots have started arriving!

Well done to the company for honouring this offer!
I didn't order but read it with interest.

Littlemousewithcloggson · 05/09/2013 12:01

Yayyyyyy proud owner of 2 robots. Very pleased.

lazzaroo · 05/09/2013 12:05

My robot just arrived Smile DD in pre-school so have had a little look and given his nose a little twist!

Good on Hope Education for honouring the purchases.

Mrswilliams87 · 05/09/2013 12:11

First time i have ever used HOPE but just for honouring the robot i will definatly be using them again. great customer service and they have gained a customer in me :D x

SayHelloToMyLittleFriend · 05/09/2013 12:18

My robot has arrived too. What a bargain for the price we paid :)

Littlemousewithcloggson · 05/09/2013 12:19

Agreed mrswilliams. They have vtech microphones that are normally 5.99 each. They say it is £12 for a pack of SIX so am contemplating those, a few babies to buy for in out family

Robot is here and I love him! Was supposed to be an Xmas present but he is already out of the box and being played with. Just lost 30 minutes!

Hi All haven't received mine yet though I got the dispatched email yesterday (keep looking out the window to see if there are any courier vans about) Think this Robot's going to be greeted like a long lost reli when it finally arrives Blush

So for those who have opened them/taken a closer look are they worth the money (haha)?

m0nkeynuts · 05/09/2013 14:21

Mine is here and it looks great!!

Oreocrumbs · 05/09/2013 15:09

Mine came too. Have been showing him off over the fence to my very jealous neighbour Grin.

Well played in the end Hope, lord only knows how out of pocket you must be, but there must be thousands of new people aware of/using your site now, so not all is lost!

And you have made some people very happy.

Trumpton · 05/09/2013 16:06

OOh ! It's great !!

Leilandri · 05/09/2013 16:50

My robot is here! Came home from work to a parcel left with my neighbour! Had a quick look before boys came home. He's so cool, they're gonna have so much fun. Only wish I'd ordered more now!! Grin
Well done HOPE for honouring.

Happiestinwellybobs · 05/09/2013 16:53

Mine is here - he was waiting for me at the post office. He is fab!

whoneedstosleep · 05/09/2013 17:33

Mine arrived too :)

CatAmongThePigeons · 05/09/2013 18:12

I have a Robot. Jolly good show Hope!

DH had to play with it, there's NO off switch, it's currently hidden in the garden til it powers off Grin

SpottyTeacakes · 05/09/2013 18:16

Cat fear not in a minute he will say he's tired and go to sleep Grin

WaitMonkey · 05/09/2013 18:44
Grin
CatAmongThePigeons · 05/09/2013 18:54

He did say he was tired Spotty! I felt a huge wave of relief as he said that, I must keep DH awsy from the toys until Christmas day. At least one of them likes it! Grin
