    Just back from my local Tesco. I managed to get some yesterday and thought that I would go back in this afternoon seeing as I was passing:D.
    Couldn't believe that they still had the shelf price as 3 for £2, needless to say went through at full price:(.
    Off to a very grumpy CS who was a real miseable so and so. She said that I must realise that it was a mistake as they were £4.80 each. Told her thats not what the shelf label said:p.
    She said that she would ring the manager and ask his advice, came back and said that I would be refunded and that I could have the three for £2:T
    Could really have taken it or left it as I managed to get loads yesterday, but if Tesco cannot rectify their mistakes and at least take off the shelf price then who am I to ignore a bargain:beer:

    You should have got Double the difference in price refunded as that is their policy. Would have been a nice tidy profit lol :rotfl:

    Yep!

    I had three substitutes, but they were duplicates of three of the other items in my order!

    Right, i've just placed an order online. Paid ful price but phoned customer services and was told that i will be charged the discounted price when the order is put throught the checkout (instore when order is picked). Asked what if i get charged full price. Told i can refuse delivery of goods and get refunded.
    So i don't know what will happen now.

    1st time I've taken advantage of a glitch, went to Newton Abbot, McAdams still on the 3 for £2 on SEL,( none of the other premium brands were though), but went through at £7 for the 3 instead of £2, so went to CS, very nice lady, said you've been over charged by £5, and we have to give you double the difference so here's £10! Result! Thank you very much, free shampoo and £10 back!

    I've put in a huge online order for me and my friends... slightly scared as it is a LOT of money (way more than anybody on here has mentioned yet). Please tell me that if I accept the delivery at full price (on my Tesco credit card, lol) and then CS refuse to refund me the overcharge I can still insist they refund the whole order? Please? *worried*
    If a post is helpful to you, please take a second to click "thanks", it makes us feel all warm and fuzzy inside! :)
