If I'm to read this correctly. They can charge me 70% of the RRP, which is more than I paid for the perfume???

I've never seen the candles for less than 14.99 personally so for 12 ish it's still a saving if you wanted them already.

Not even in the electrical shops? Or bargain buys? Or home shopping QVC type places?

You got £20 perfume for £10, they will charge you the extra £10 you got off, so the cost of you sending that item back will be £10 ! nice

Now seeing the saving, i'm unsure of the candles

The price (£14.99) that they were showing was the price that Amazon were selling them at, but if you clicked on the candles you found out that the RRP was £29.99. On the deals Amazon has been taking the money off what the RRP is as opposed to what they are currently selling things at. In the case of the candles they took just over 60% off the RRP which is why people are saying it was only a saving of £3.24.

Seems that with all the "deals" the money off is from the RRP, not what Amazon are currently selling at.

HTH.

Good scheme, guess this is why buyers should only buy if they really want the item, other wise they could be way out of pocket if they didn't really want it but just got carried away with the sale.

What a waste of time, I wanted the candles and was watching the site at 11:55 onwards and it just said sold out. Don't think I will bother trying to get anymore, not even that much of a saving of the normal price.

Most of the Black Friday deals are not bargains at all :-)

For example,

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B001AW8I3S
Current price is £43.99
My guess is that dealtime, you might get it for £33.99

Still not a bargain as you can get it for £39.99 at Argos
and £30 elsewhere.

Be warned everybody. Fortunately mine was only perfume at £16, which is still okay. But don't get carried away with more expensive stuff like TV's.

Anyone who is daft enough to checkout an item in their basket that they don't now want, deserves the cost - BUT quickly phone Amazon as they CAN cancel a pending order that you cannot.
