REDFOX for her post about a pricing error on Tesco Renaissance Red/White Wine which has led me to get 42 bottles of wine for NOTHING

Renaissance White
Was £20.46  Now £15.00
SPECIAL OFFER - 27% OFF! - save £5.46
Offer ends 09/01/2005
CASE OF 12 (equivalent to £1.25 per bottle)
Delivery charge is just £5, no matter how many cases you order.

Renaissance Red
Was £20.46  Now £15.00
SPECIAL OFFER - 27% OFF! - save £5.46
Offer ends 09/01/2005
CASE OF 12 (equivalent to £1.25 per bottle)
Delivery charge is just £5, no matter how many cases you order.

The price should have been £15 for a box of six, not twelve as stated. So in readiness for a New Years Eve Bash, I ordered the following:

Qty Description Unit Price Line Price
3 Renaissance White 6 X 75cl 12| £15.00 £45.00
4 Renaissance Red 6 X 75cl 12| £15.00 £60.00

Subtotal of Items:  £105.00
Delivery Charge:  £5.00
Promotion Awarded:  £-15.00
Total Discount:  £-15.00
Total to pay:  £95.00

A further £15 was saved by finding a discount voucher for any purchase over £100

The question was: Would Tesco send 42 or 84 bottles of wine for my £95, however, this evening, that has been resolved following an e-mail from Tesco.

Dear Mr xxxxxx,

You recently placed an order for one or more cases of Renaissance
wine. We regret that this case was incorrectly advertised as a
case of 12 bottles. The case actually contains 6 bottles. However
in recognition of our error and as a gesture of good we have
decided to refund the full price of the wine. The refund will
appear on your account after we have delivered your order.

Please accept our apologies for any inconvenience we may have
caused you.

Kinds regards,

Tesco Customer Service

So, this Saturday, I will get 42 bottles or red/white wine for £0.00

Cheers Redfox

Red fox wine thread Definately! I almost feel sorry for Tescos!

I missed out on the HK flight offer so this gets my vote:

-Sawanderer's superb 50% of train fares offer, and just in time for Christmas!!

Sadly it appears to end after the 8th - is there any way to set up email alerts for forum posts with specific key words mentioned? I'd been looking for train tickets for a couple of weeks, and got lucky that I found the thread this evening. Half the country could have saved a bomb on that!

I also nominate sawanderer! Missed out on Hong Kong but managed to get bargain train tickets for my brother's trip home from Uni.

Tabasco

I nominate the train ticket offer as more people could use it. Good luck sawanderer!

But the BA offer is probably the catch of the year. I would have bought a pair had I known earlier before they fixed it. Well, nevermind, at least I was born there

Martinslovechild

I nominate MARTIN for helping me save thousands of pounds since following the advice on MoneySavingExpert.

It is the season of good will to all men after all.

Martin - I'm really looking forward to receiving my new MSE T-Shirt following a successful win on eBay. I'm really pleased that the charities will do very well out of the auction - what a great idea!!

I wish you all the Very Best for Christmas and the New Year.

Best Regards,

Your Humble Servant (and Love Child )

MLC.

Lots of people have had £10 (some several times over!)and there's more out there to win over the next months! If the prize is for the numbers able to take advantage of the post this surely should win?
