    Just had the same phone call- offered it to me for £520 but said that was the lowest they could go!

    Shame- we needed a new one too

  • Same here, BL. Meant to have been £599. They got 74 orders, apparently.

    I also just got a phone call, she said that they would be prepared to sell it for £580 but no less than that....I see someone else was offered it for £520. Apparantly this has been at the wrong price for over a week on their site, and this is them just noticing, hmmm!

    Whilst looking at their site again, I noticed a DAB digital radio "reduced" from £59.99 to £60.99 "saving" -£1.00 !! seems the Miele isnt the only mistake........

    Yep, I got the call too. Does make a nice change though to get a personal call and an apology instead of a bog standard rejection email.

    Oh well, on to the next bargain. Nothing ventured nothing gained.

    Sorry about that wish Id never posted but I thought they should have noticed any errors earlier then today as I noticed it at least a week ago when I ordered my Lg through them also it stated £400 off price which would have been about right?

    I'm wondering...if its been advertised for over a week at a certaqin price, is there no law that binds companies to that price?

    If it was a day or so than you can appreciate the mistake and if they were selling hundreds of washing machine s than you can undertsand they couldn't see the 'wood for dfor tree's..BUT over a week and with £400 off glaring at you. Its not like the dot was in the worng place or there was a digit missing in the price.

    I'm thinking, they clearly knew what price it was but their website did not update the stock levels as people were odering, as such when over 74 got ordered i think the alarm bells started ringing. Most probably why they personally phone people and verbally agree to cancel.

    Just thinking out aloud.

    *So* disappointed! I also got offered the goodwill price of £520, but my poor pocket can't stretch to that. :(

    I'm just glad I didn't get my old machine disconnected and taken away, like I had planned..
