    At checkout above the price of the laptop it said something like "with discount". That's not so very far from "Special Offer" now is it ?


    Think that's do with discount voucher codes...if you entered a code you got the code value deducted...if not you got 0.00 deducted.

    Clutching at straws spring to mind!

    Do not believe for 1 minute that orders will be honoured...but it's been fun! (so far)

    thats dollars though

    It's not about dollars or pounds...the point I was making is that there is a package called Microsoft Office Home and Student and not that the words got truncated/chopped off on the order tracking page so that the Laptop bit is missing as someone else was implying on here.

    When I placed the order it said in Track Order 'A100 laptop with microsoft office home and student 2007', but now it says, MICROSOFT OFFICE HOME AND STUDEN ONE SIZE ONE COLOUR.

    Surely changing an order AFTER it's been placed to something else is illegal? Not only that it's a bloody stupid attempt to 'cover it up' when I have an email, printout and screen grab showing otherwise lol

    Watchdog anyone?

    Did you use a discount code at the checkout stage?

    No. I've just checked and it said "Price (inc. discount)," which doesn't imply that there was any discount.

    My order says that too. I think Watchdog might be the was to go with this one too.

  • Correct me if I'm wrong, but out of all the people, over the last few years, who have proclaimed they are to "sue" how many have actually done so and how many have succeeded? I know its disappointing to lose a "bargain" but its been fun and one day we may get what we've "bought"
    I'd rather be an Optimist and be proved wrong than a Pessimist and be proved right.
  • I think we need Martin's advice here.

    Online tracking at Littlewoods is now saying Cancelled order for me :confused:
  • Mine is still saying accepted.
