Just ordered one of these - reduced from £129.99 to £32.50 and with free delivery!

Been after one of these steam generators for ages but the cheapest I could ever find was about £80!

LOL, I hope not, I can't wait until mine arrives.

Though I am now worrying if my ironing board is a mesh type or not...off to check.

sweetkitty · 27/05/2008 19:27

Just bought a new ironing board - will go check now as well.

sweetkitty · 27/05/2008 19:28

Mine is a mesh board beneath the cloth bit- is that OK?

lulumama · 27/05/2008 19:28

don;t worry rusty, i;ve ordered full body armour this time!

TequilaMockinBird · 27/05/2008 19:28

I'm kind of hoping my new toy ironing board isnt the mesh type seeing as it has a power socket directly underneath the board - free fireworks display anyone?

thanks just ordered.

eandh · 27/05/2008 21:53

just ordered and emailed MIL as she does ironing at home for other people

laura032004 · 28/05/2008 11:30

Seems to be £129.99 again now

sweetkitty · 28/05/2008 11:58

oh I see that too I hope we get it for £32 now and they don't take £130 off DP's card he'll go mad!

lulumama · 28/05/2008 12:00

they have probably cottoned on to the fact that they are selling it too cheap after the massive influx of orders !

my confirmation of order shows £32.50 from last night

sweetkitty · 28/05/2008 12:05

Mine too lulumama but am sure theres some get out clause that states that if an item is priced incorrectly online they don't have to honour that price (this was when Woolies were selling plasma TVs for £100) they said it was human error.

lulumama · 28/05/2008 12:09

yes that is true, happened with a bouncy castle for 79p a while ago ! have not had an email to say it is not available at £32.50 though...

onelittlelion · 28/05/2008 12:46

I just ordered one as still had in my basket at £32.50. Says will give you the option of cancelling if price error. Would be fab for that price!

BabiesEverywhere · 28/05/2008 13:36

No, They can't stop the orders in this case, it was no error. On the special offer page, the steam generator iron had a price of £129.00 crossed out and special offer price £32.50 underneath. So it was a real offer not a mistake. But the influx of offers might of prompted them to stop the offer.

eandh · 28/05/2008 13:40

Popped to tj hughes this morning and they had this exact model on offer for £49.99 until Friday so manybe its a limited offer (assuming the mark up from £32.50 is tj hughes profit )

TequilaMockinBird · 28/05/2008 17:29

Mine arrived today and I've checked with the bank - only £32.50 paid for it

Agree with lulumama, they must have put the price up due to the influx of orders (this was also advertised on HUKD and probably MSE so chances are half of the country have ordered one!)

I'm off to find some ironing to do now lol

TequilaMockinBird · 29/05/2008 22:14

It's definitely worth the wait lulu, one and sweet!

I have to make a confession though.....I washed clean slightly dusty clothes out of the wardrobe today just so that I could iron them
