    The fact that they are acknowledging it and still taking orders would suggest that even if it was a mistake they are thinking of it as a marketing opportunity- I had never seen this store before but will have a browse around it now.

    Im not sure this is a mistake. The fact that its got a proper written discription with it seems like it cant be a mistake. Although it is a bit weird that you can still buy one for £1.57. As its almost the end of Nov perhaps they want to get rid of them? as soon as 1st Dec comes around all shops sell them for silly prices
  • Wow this is an amazing deal, ive just ordered 12 for our scout colony they will love them ...I hope they arrive before wednesday!

    I bought them from this here last week for about £3.00 each Then they reduced them to half price to £1.87 each. I think they've made a mistake on the price of the cases today, especially when there was a free delivery code. They've probably sold all their stock by now anyway. I've never seen advent calendars this cheap before!

    Ordered mine. Love Divine chocolate.

    I don't think this is an error either. They will be no good as calenders by the time we get them and will be out of date by next year.

    I will just eat the chocolate.

    Indeed... I just bought a kettle and a kilo of coffee beans! :rolleyes:

    Great find OP!

    Ordered a case and hope it turns up.

    One for me, good lady, good ladies sister, a couple of girlfriends and the rest can go to the kids at my local church if they are nativity.

    Not sure if the church will accept them as I don't go, but i'll have no use for 7 calendars :o
  • also bought a case - see what happens really - nice marketing opportunity for them.
