                        (This amount will be recalculated after confirmation by the seller)

                        Status: Purchase pending confirmation from the seller


                        I only noticed this after:eek::eek::eek::eek::eek::eek:

                        Does that mean they can charge me a different price?:eek::mad:

                          I've always bought at the original price, I think the 'pending confirmation' is there just in case they don't have stock.
                          Some days you're the dog..... most days you're the tree! :D
                        • I think you should be able to cancel if they change the price as you have agreed to buy at the price stated?

                          Probably just a precautionary thing.
                        • Don't worry , am sure they are not allowed to charge MORE after purchases confirmed... What a great find and excellent grabbit!!

                          Priceminster do money off codes for new customers as well so might be able to get some free books thrown in as well with that if haven't shopped with Priceminster before

                          If you HAVE then its probably not worth it even if the code is accepted as the order gets cancelled :(

                          I don't suppose there is a direct link to all the books???
                        • That's a shame, the links won't open to the books

                          It does for me.

                          But you can just open & cklick by price low to high if it doesn't work for you.

                          I've used priceminister twice before, and was charges £1.25 extra both times on my debit card.
                          Sent angry emails, but they wouldn't refund.

                          Won't use priceminister again.

                        • Thank you - I have taken a chance and ordered some too!

                          Don't forget that if you place an order at PriceMinister and it can't be fulfilled, you don't get a refund but the money goes into an ewallet for you to spend on something else. If its over £10 you can get it transferred but I think it takes a month.

                          I've just been caught out by this. It wasn't a lot of money but I'm still peeved, and don't want it to happen to anyone else.

                          Is that even legal?
