    just had a look on the tesco website and still showing as "1p" - its after midnight so does that mean weve still got a chance of getting them for "1p" as its showing as that price on the day my delivery is due?

    I'm not yet convinced it's a misprice, given that they were selling them (and a game and accessories) for £15 in January. And since then V Tech have brought out a more updated version. These ones are, after all, three or fours years old, now, so it could well be a 1p deal!

    I'm more hopeful than I was earlier, but it will still be a nice bonus rather than an expectation!

    Just to say thanks for the 'heads up' - I have ordered three for my little grand-daughters and niece (all under 5).

    I'm just hoping that the game, when (if?) it comes, will be self explanatory, because, to be honest, I haven't a clue what they are... :o

    Summary for deliveries
    do not let the driver go
    phone local tesco on your sheet he gives you
    say it's 1p on line
    say it was down to £15 months ago, so it looks like clearance stock
    say you understand policy is 3 items at the advertised price (as posted in washing detergent gone wrong glitch - not so good if you ordered more than 3 so avoid)
    if no joy
    make driver wait again
    phone customer services Grocery Home Shopping
    Telephone 0845 7225533**, Monday to Saturday 7am to 11pm and Sunday 10am to 6pm
    go through process again
    if no joy
    you want delivery refunded as you only placed an order to get discontinued stock

    that would be my take on things, good luck but i am no expert

    My order is due between 3 and 5pm. i know there is little chance. I look forward to the updates from the morning customers and have my fingers crossed for you!
  • After them not honouring the 1p blue ray earlier this year I am doubtful they will honour this. I don't have much faith in tesco!

    i changed my order last night now so it literally has just the vtech smile pockets on it.

    I figure then at least if they dont have them in store i should be getting a phone call to say so and therefore i would not be paying the £6 delivery charge.
