    Lilmiss wrong Empire this is empire direct an electrical company :)

    Ive bought stuff in the past from empire no problems but I do have the advantage they have 2 stores in Bolton so I just go in and buy stuff. My sister tried to buy me some Bose in ear headphones last week the promised they would be in on tuesday but they never turned up and the same agian wednesday so shewent to john lewis at the Trafford Center over the weekend and got them to price match the empire price result.

    Oops, i really shouldn't get out of bed so early :D

    I would say 99% you have got it, I ordered it at 11.01am and I actually thought i had it until I read this thread. However I did notice something misleading, whilst I was contemplaiting buying it i put it in my basket and noticed it said it came with a 3 year warranty, this swung it for me so I bought it but when I actually read the warranty terms it does not cover clearance stuff so it does not have a 3 year warranty as described.

  • Thank you for your recent order. Unfortunately, due to high demand the item you have ordered is out of stock. We must allocate the stock on a 'first come, first serve' basis and I am afraid to say we do not have enough free stock to allocate to your order on this occasion. The unit has now been discontinued by the manufacturer and our stocks will not be replenished. No payment has been debited from your card.


    Sigh. What a waste of time, the big nobbers.
  • Just ordered this Fuji S5500 for £60 ... Only 1 clearance item in stock, awaiting my precious phone call now to confirm that I am the lucky owner :DSee spanking new camera here

    Fingers crossed...:j

    Does anybody know how often they put items on clearance? I'm saving up for a camcorder and think I may get more for my money here!
  • After reading the posts on here, I had a bit of a fret over stock levels and so rang EmpireDirect to see if my order had actually gone through. The customer services advisor said that they go through the clearance stock orders every 2 hours or so and update the website, so I would be getting a call back within the next 2 hours to confirm if my order was sucsessul.

    30 mins later the same customer services advisor rang me back to assure me that my order was indeed sucsessful!

    My lovely camera arrived in the new year, for a bargain price of £60!

    Thank you MSEr's :cool:
