    I'd say that the price is missing a zero and should be £850. Given jewellery markups are around 100% or more, then its wholesale price of around £425 would indeed make this a bargain, which is why I can't see it coming off and thus wouldn't waste the energy pursuing.

    If it's a fake then they wouldn't be allowed to describe it as something it isn't;)

    There's always one, isn't there? :confused:

    'Hello, is that Additions Direct? OK, I've seen a ring on your site and it just seems ludicrously cheap, if I ordered it now, would you still send it anyway?' Nuts.

    Yeah, on first reading it i thought they were joking. I hate stickies, but some obvious dos and don'ts could be handy.
    But the banks are made of marble,
    With a guard at every door,
    And the vaults are stuffed with silver,
    That the farmer sweated for.

    just tracked my order and its coming direct from manufacturer so maybe it will slip through.

    Boyfriend just got home and I told him if it comes we're engaged, we've only been together for 12 years so I've given up on the romantic proposal.

    Hi,

    What would you say the chances were of receiveing this?? I have just ordered but surely if it was a typing error then they would have pulled it by now??

    Cheers.

    They probably would have been slim anyway but now zero that someone has called them:rolleyes:
