  • If woolies play it right they could gain out of this, all the new accounts opened, all the publicity, only had 50 at that price, early xmas pressie.Thanking the great british buying public, keep watching our site for more great bargains.

    I take it you don't run a business then, if you do then your customer service must suck just like Woolworths does :rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

    Woolworths always do this, they did it with the Xbox 360 Hard Drives, had them for £35 then said it was a mistake bespite sending some out for £35, then kast week Viva Pinata Limited Edition for £19.99, they should be reported to Trading Standards they are either doing this to get more people onto there site and hope they might by something else off the site or just really are stupid and dont have system to check price errors.

    They are a discgrace.

    Even though I am against the way Woolworths has very badly handled this, I wouldn't say it was a con. They do however keep doing these so called 'price mistakes' and need a ticking off.

    Incidentally, they STILL haven't updated the site!! Click

  • They're just riding the publicity at the time and expense of the consumer now. They could so easily have changed the price or removed the TVs. They saw the huge numbers that visited and are trying to keep them coming by leaving the Tvs there.
  • if anyone can help make woolworths fulfil the orders, its BBC Watchdog... they have so often made companies think again or 'coincidentally' give customers what they have been asking before prior to WD getting involved.

    How many of us have contacted them so far?
