    Its no wonder that Woolworths were quick to pick up on the fact that there was a misprice when people were buying more than one TV at that size!

    Very good point, people were bound to be buyint the etxra ones to sell on and make a profit

    surely when placing an order you would have a good idea that it was a missprice as a £1000 Tv for £150, I know it's christmas but that's just mad

    I think a lot of people think it is worth a try, but don't care either way. There's only a small few that argue different, and they don't actually have real lives, the are the main culprits to this ludicrous blame culture we have these days. They will be the first to tell their kids teacher that their kid is an angel and they can't have done anything wrong -lol. They will also tell you that a whiteboard and a black sheep are both politically incorrect.

    The best way to deal with the on a forum is to completely ignore them, do not go down to their level. PLEASE!

    On another note, I have had about £1000 in the past 6 months through Quidco, and the only transactions that were declined were Woolies ones that have not been completed (And they were only for a few pence each).

    Woolworths has played Christmas scrooge to more than a thousand customers who thought they had bagged themselves a state-of-the art TV at a bargain price...

  • I'm another one of the 24,00 (sorry missed another 0 off) who has just bought a TV that is far too big. I could have went for the 32" or the 37" but thinking big is better went for the 42", which is far too big for my flat.

    If I do end up getting the TV I have seen a new house for 240,00 which would fit it in just right.

    Anyway the reason why I really posted was about the Terms and Conditions that Woolworths keep reffering to. Has anybody actualy signed up to these. I re registered in a different name and was never asked to sign up to the T's and C's. I then placed an order for some usless tat and was never asked to sign up to the T's and C's then.

    You never know those of you who are screaming for their TV's might still have a chance. Personally I can't scream any more after I spent all of friday on the phone to my one mate about the offer.

    PS I should realy cancel the TV stand that I ordered or am I just temting fate.

    I want to take the matter further and challenge them. Maybe with court action.
    Any advise on how to go about this?

    I think taking them to court is futile, but ultimately its your choice.
