    I did order one the first evening they were found, but then I cancelled it. If definately can't be a sofa because they don't offer 'store pick-up' on sofas.

    You're not throwing it away for a bit of tat though are you because if you don"t like what turns up you can return it for a refund anyway!!! Its just a chance people are taking to see what happens because theres obviously been a huge mess up on the site. I've ordered 2 sofas because I actually am looking for new sofas at the minute but theres no way I'm expecting them to arrive the same as theres no way I could afford to pay M&S prices for new sofas!! Argos is more my price range!!!! It would be fantastic if it did actually happen though so worth a go because theres nothing to lose either way. Feel sorry for the M&S staff who will have to sort the whole thing out though and really hope that nobody ends up collecting their P45 as a result of all this!!!

  • good luck loobylou2. I hope you get your sofas! It would certainly be the result of the year so far! I don't need sofas so whilst it's a bargain and I like the fun element in seeing what would happen, I would be well stuffed if they actually DID turn up! lol x

    Thanks Tinawina, It would be nice if it happens but I think in all honesty I've got more chance of winning the lottery than getting the sofas!!!!

    Where would you stand if that was the case and you believed you were ordering a sofa?

    In the queue for the nuthouse ;)

    Seriously,nobody should believe that and if they tried saying that they wouldn't get anywhere!The price makes it rather obvious there is something wrong

    If people want to it's up to them but I was purely replying to the person I quoted :)

    However,it's not the pricing that's wrong is it,it's the photo as the description is for something made of '100% glass fibre' so it's not a case of honouring prices...unless sofas are made of glass fibre these days and can be picked up in store

    So what do you think it is, if it's not a sofa? :) I'm tempted to try and see what arrives!
    I have come here to chew bubblegum and kick @ss.... and I'm all out of bubblegum.

    I've followed this and the original thread with hoots of laughter - haven't ordered a sofa myself but if I had, I would have reckoned £9.50p was a cheap price to pay for all the amusement it had given me and others.
