I received the Mini Vox Robot that I ordered today and it was a bit disappointing . Thankfully I didn't pay the full £49.99 original price else I would have been gutted!

LOL jellybaby your message gave me a giggle, what an odd alternative, are you going to keep it or are you going to send it back?!

Lol! Had the same effect on me when I opened it too! I thought at first what a daft thing to mix up but having investigated further it would seem that the bar code label on the outside of the bubble wrap packaging match! So unless the packer picks the items without packaging, they were just matching up barcodes etc on auto pilot. Let's just hope that all the bird houses haven't been given the same bar codes otherwise it's pot luck which you get..:rotfl:

.......and, it's going back. I need another mug set lol.

The Meccano sets are in pretty small boxes and there is no way I would have paid £5 each for them instore, but for half price with a further 12% off or whatever it ended up being, they'll do padded out with sweets.

Also received the Edwardian Lady's Address book...which was mainly to get my total to the right amount but it's lovely, with pictures on most pages and a Memorable dates section for birthdays too...I shall be keeping it.

How was it disapointing?
