    do the last one its less hassle and its no great loss as thats how much was willing to be paid in the first place skinty otherwise your just giving yourself extra stress x

    I'm leaning towards that but everything MSE in me says to argue the toss with them. Maybe I'll mention it but back down if they aren't very helpful! Just seems such a con as the baby show is supposed to be about bargains and it really wasn;t much of a bargain was it?!

    They do - but this would be asking them to price match themselves!

    I think I'll ask though as it is quite a big difference, and as it is now £490 with 5 per cent off that means it was only about £515 before if my maths is right, which makes the baby show 'offer' £15 more expensive anyway!

    Skint give them a call and see what they say worst they can say is no and then you still have the option of cancelling if they wont budge maybe they could throw some extras in to the value of the difference?

    Sorry to repost this but does anyone have any ideas? Should I call and ask for £40 off to bring it down to the current internet price, or should I cancel and reorder but then have to try and explain it to my dad, who will then have to get the money to us some other way, or should I leave it as dad was happy to pay £530 and if I don't tell him will never know (and that way I get the pram this week hopefully)?

    I would ring and say you are considering cancelling, which you are! I got my furniture from them and they gave me a £128 credit on my card to bring it down under the nearest internet price I could find. Have you looked at the price on other websites as that is what they undercut for me?

    Skinty - I'd speak to ur dad if I were you, I've never heard of anyone having problems with Kiddicare before except for getting payment through on the website but if you tell ur dad he could use the money saved to buy something else for bubba if he wanted to and when you re-order you can also get 4% quidco cash back;)

    I used this sun cream,

    it wasn't that expensive tho!! (it was BOGOF in tesco when I got it) and its never set off Chris's eczema and has 5* UVA protection unlike some baby sun creams that are pants for UVA :rolleyes:

    Harley Try sticking your hands in cold water its the only thng that stops me itching if I don't have my special cream:D
    The very best is sometimes what nature gives us for free.
