Carlisle branch today:

Came out with:

Belkin 650VA UPS for £12.91
Belkin 350VA UPS for £6.91

A couple of Belkin 500VA UPS at £9.91

This and various other stuff on a table just inside the door.

Tried to get the 500va at my local last night, but still scanned at £19.91 :rolleyes: .

Were the ones you go stickered or did they scan at the price you paid?
My lot think that their price is right, doh. I wonder if the computer is updated locally as there was a managers price update sheet lying around with discounts of up to 50% on it for discontinued software and cameras, but not the UPS.

There's a Staples at Staples corner???


I guess they had to open one there really

ISTR they took over another company? They were based there.

Went into my local staples but the sipgate netgear box is still at 19.91 on the shelf, is it a case of having to get the clearance stuff price checked ?

Yes.

Try telling them it was available at their own Carlisle store (OK, there aren't any left there!) and ask them to apply their Price Match Promise - it says they will match prices offered elsewhere (and elsewhere could surely be another branch...) and give you 10% of the difference

Stickered at the prices I paid - scanned at higher prices (£39.91 and £19.91 IIRC) and manually reduced.
