Brand new M&S chair for fifty whole English pence.

[GideonKipper]

Just spotted this on the M&S site. It's rather fugly but for fifty pence....

50p armchair

Got to be a mistake? Tempted to buy one and sell it on eBay .

You know they spotted this error then realised that the best thing to do would ve to deliver to all the ones who called it ugly. Their sweet revenge.

Goofy I've checked the M&S feed I can't see any jokes about it. The tweet about 'missing out in an offer' was in response to a complaint

Yes. It's a battleship radio, that bobs in the bath. Tesco direct were selling them for 50 pence. And I decided that FiL needs a boat radio for his bath.

Maybe it means they have placed the order with the manufacturer - isn't stuff like this often made to order?

Mine has apparently been dispatched today for delivery 13th February!

Hence why you can't amend or change your order now as someone has actually started making your chair...

They've notified Gavin's elves: graham, Dave, Steve and our Kev

Gideon, reply to them: 'No. You will despatch it, now. I want my chair. Let's not make this difficult.'

Hmm.

I bought sofas from M&S a few months ago. Ordered and got confirmation. Next thing was the phone call, then an order on its way message a few days before the agreed date.

Reckon you're all going to get fabric swatches :o

My email now says despatched by 13th Feb.

They're conveying it on the back of a team of winged Gloucester Old Spots & Lord Lucan will need me to sign for it on delivery.

Mine now says will arrive in one delivery by 13th Feb too. I can't really believe we're going to get them are we?!?!

TalkativeJim think there needs to be a cracking of knuckles at the end of that sentence for extra effect.

Oh ye of little faith Raven.

Hmm.

When I log into my M&S account, there are no open orders. No 'orders placed in 2014'.

Does this mean it's been cancelled?

Hmm, did you get the original order is despatching status?

My item is in my open orders to be dispatched soon. No email cancelling it yet.

Mine is now going to be delivered by 13 February.

Yes mine too. I shall believe it when I see it!

Signing off for the night and going to dream sweet dreams about my recliner. Night all

Order status updated to 'delivered by :13 February 2014'. Thank you all for a great laugh on this thread tonight.

Someone on hotdeals saying they ordered 177. Where the hell will they keep the if the honour it

I got a confirmation email, but my M&S account isn't showing anything now?

Mine says "dispatched"! Really? Are they really sending it? Look forward to receiving my swatch.:)

Mine also says "Dispatched....to be delivered by 13th Feb".

It also says: Please note: this order cannot now be amended. This does not affect your legal rights

Oh, yeah, M&S? It can't be amended? I bet YOU'LL amend it though

Incidentally - they have taken the £1 from my account. Is it now a contract that they have to fulfill?

(I doubt it, but.....)

Proper lol at the description of the chair as "contemporary". Totally contemporary and bang to date with all the old folks' homes.

On my iPad that fabric looks like it's covered in stains. Lovely :)
