    I did not accuse the OP of trying to scam the company at any time. I was indeed sympathetic if yu read my post again.

    And no i am not claiming bank charges because i am lucky in that i have never been charged for anything from a bank ever. And no i'm not being a clever cow, just stating a fact because of your presumptions about me.

    Sorry it want aimed entirely at you, the second poster was the one claiming he was scamming them.

    Has the OP actually seen this same mattress in the massive 50% sale???

    Can you actually see the SAME mattress for half the price you paid for it???

    Most of these sales are a load of old garbage anyway.

    Well that's how shops work. They buy in goods, they offer them at a certain price...some will be sold then they decide to 'generate' more income by reducing prices. So they have a SALE.
    Remember in order to HAVE a SALE a shop MUST have offered the item at a higher price (or in the case of a chain, at one site in the chain) for a period of time before the sale so that when prices are reduced it is a genuine sale.
    (Some stores may post a disclaimer if they haven't done this).
    So some shoppers will pay the higher price.

    Hi Annie! (I had a phone call last week from someone asking me about bank charges I have paid - I presume they were going to offer to help me reclaim for a 'small fee' - the bloke was staggered when I told him I hadn't paid charges! :rotfl:)
