    Its got nothing to do with the police. DTD is offered due to THEIR incompetence. Complain to head office.

    i agree French Knickers....what exactly have they been watching you dooing...shopping for bargains...not illegal!! Even if you've been scanning the items daily...not illegal!!! DTD is THEIR company policy...its not coming out of an individuals pocket, so they cannot refuse it as its written in blue and white as their policy!! They could well ban you...think thats down to managers discretion, not sure though...but I would definately complain to head office....at the end of the day you are only looking for bargains...and if thats down to staff incompetence/normal sales or clearance etc then theres nothing wrong with that....:)
    try going at a different time when theres likely to be different staff on...i got £160 DTD on one set of phones on the Thursdaynight...went back on Saturday night and got the same ones plus a free printer (through DTD)..but luckily different staff!!:)
    hoping for a very MSE Ts glitching 2012!

    Hi,
    I am a quite new to all of this but have been reading all the Mr T threads (it's addictive) and scouring all my local stores and I have managed to get a few bits and among them is a twin dvd which is a different model and barcode to that posted. I picked this up a couple of wks ago at my local, It wasn't quite as cheap as the £24 model, with a SEL of £79.99, scanning at £49.99. But with my £10 Morrisons voucher and £5 till spit bringing this down to £34.99, I was still quite pleased.
    They has 2 when I got mine but the other one was gone by the next day so I am unable to scan again to see if it still goes through at this price, but hopefully it might help somebody. The model is SS10, barcode: 5 052004 522120. I hope this helps.

    I also managed to grab my first dtd last night, or so I thought!!
    I spotted the BT Stratus 1500 triple phones with an ood SEL at £79.99, scanning at £164.99.
    Off I went to cs just as it was closing and the sa marched me down the store to check the SEL.
    SEL confirmed at £79.99, then off she went to chat with a senior sa who offered to sell the phones at the £79.99 price. I queried the dtd policy and the senior sa said ok.
    The sa started to complete the form for the £170 refund but when she called the manager over to sign it off, he refused to dtd and despite my best efforts he would only sell the phones at the £79.99 SEL.

    Unfortunately in this store the board behind cs is really small and loads of the stuff that is normally on these boards is missing, including the dtd policy.
    I was thinking of calling cs, but wondered whether anyone had any experience of this and if I had a leg to stand on. What is the policy on dtd when it's not showing on the board at cs, do I have a right to it or is it at managers discretion.
    Any help would be gratefully received, otherwise I suppose I will just return the phones at £79.99 and keep my eyes peeled for another dtd opportunity.

    Thanks

  • I noticed on another thread someone suggesting something nefarious which was removed by the moderating team, but the post got me thinking. If I bought an item and got DTD to a degree that they paid me to take the item away, and I subsequently didn't like the item and wanted to take it back (complete with my receipt marked as DTD given so its all above board) what would actually happen? I bet that would give the CS staff a right headache trying to decide, as I've no idea at all!! Does anyone know?
