did you order the phone online in which case you order is covered by Direct Selling Regulations and you can cancel I believe.
Alternatively, try ringing and asking if they wil price match for good will.
Unfortunately, seeign the goods cheaper elsewhere does not give a legitimate reason for refund or reduction unless they have offered you a rpice match or best price promiseBaby Milk Action is a non-profit organisation which aims to save lives and to end the avoidable suffering caused by inappropriate infant feeding.0 -

Thats the thing though, its cheaper on their other site. I bought from "Great universal" and its cheaper in "Great Universal Essentials". :mad: Im not sure what the difference is in the two sites.:j Midmac Aka Crazy baby :j0 -
Cancel the order and buy it from the other site.
If you log int your account you should be able to amend your order. Or just phone them up and say you dont want it anymore.
There was a £20 off code for great universal floating round as well.Work like you don't need money,Love like you've never been hurt,And dance like no one's watchingSave the cheerleader, save the world!0 -

catalogues often produce flyers and different leaflets with same items, different item numbers and different prices!Baby Milk Action is a non-profit organisation which aims to save lives and to end the avoidable suffering caused by inappropriate infant feeding.0

great universal ess, is a diffrent cat, you pay intrest if you don't clear the balance each month in full. where as with great un, you get 20/40 weeks intrest free. similar to Littlewoods and LX direxctThe views expressed on this website, be they in text, pictures or sound, are my own personal views. Not those of my employer, its staff or colleagues.0

they are different catalogues though, thats why the prices are different, they wont price match it i assure of that.
you can buy things over different terms in Great universal where as essentials you cant. you also earn cashback on one and not on the other.
if you wanted the item at the other prize, you would have to apply for the catalogue.0
