    The prices shown are reduced prices. The offer/glitch is 50% or 25% off of the already reduced price displayed.

    As already mentioned you need to register or log in if already registered, the prices show as the original 50% price right up to the payment screen, on the final stage at the bottom of the screen is the option to click 'order now' just above that is a breakdown of the subtotal, the discount is deducted again (50% off the price displayed which was already a sale price) and the final total is shown in a pink box. This is the stage where you will see the final total has the extra discount applied.

    There are some items that are very cheap which shows its a glitch. For example the Dora aquadraw mats, they come out as £1.50 they are usually around £6. The ITNG puzzle retails around £8+ (£13.xx on Amazon) goes through at £1.75. The Fisher price stroller set, shows at £15 reduced price, then goes through at £7.50 this stroller sold without the extras is £20 in ELC.

    The marked price is already discounted. So for an item that was £30 its shown as £15 but at the checkout you get further 50% discount making it £7.50.
  • Thanks bought 6 cheap stocking fillers original price £40 down to £20 then another 50% off and VAT saving at checkout total £9.57.
    How do you know when you can collect in store I guess they send an email how long is it usually?
