  • Thanks bargainseeker1981!

    I too agree that I wouldn't personally post pictures (from my post count you can see I don't post too much) I tried grabbing the bargains when this post went live, i failed it cancelled, i tried my luck again when Claire21 posted and luckily I got the three things I did get (pressies for my daughter and one for her friends birthday) although I wont believe it until they are in my hands!!

    I think it's really unfortunate that people grab family's bargains for their own gain (im not saying that is what is happening, people do have big families) but personally I am glad I am not like that

    The only picture I saw had 3 or 4 of the toys storytellers in it. I ordered 5 of these because they are ideal to go away for kids parties so I don't see why people have an issue. At the end of the day we're all on here for the same reason (to find a bargain) so fair play to those lucky enough to get their orders.

    Everyone who buys a lottery does not get a 1st prize ... other wise there wouldn't be a lottery ticket competition. And the person who wins first prize will get his photo published in the papers he will be on telly etc .. Just a thought
  • I've got to be honest - I just hate T's whole unfair system when often even the OP doesn't even get theirs whereas people who ordered after them DO.....

    If it was all alot fairer ie first come , first served until the items genuinely went OOS without all this jumpin up and down in price and in and out of stock everyone would be alot CALMER about it all

    Can't HELP feeling frustrated that my order has just been sitting there showing as created for 3 whole days and when the prices went back down I had no money left to re-order or possibly order ANYTHING new by then as the money for my original hopeless order was already earmarked straight away of course!!!

    If I had TONS of money I would have put a second order through when the prices dropped again just to cover myself but its not for resale or profit but for my dear ones who I love being ABLE to treat now and again but ONLY at these sort of prices , so its not greed its need as in my DGS would not get ANYTHING from me if it wasn't at a highly reduced price unfortunately and it IS gutting when you look forward to seeing their faces light up with their treats from Nan as to me these toys aren't just 'things' or 'an order' my heart is actually in it because it is for my DGS and the emphasis is on the word 'dear' xxx

    It's not a fair system though it is luck of the draw on which orders slip through the net. The orders been cancelled are nothing to do with them going out of stock. They were cancelled because they noticed the misprice.

    LOL but placing an order with a 'reputable' company isn't MEANT to be like a 'lottery'

    This morning we went mad for the £2 Dorothy Perkins dresses but at least the system was FAIR as in those who got in QUICK got the popular sizes , then they went OSS only leaving the very small sizes , then THEY went OOS and of course a little while later all the dresses would be out of stock but that is not ''the luck of the draw'' like waiting to see if your numbers comes up it is simply 'first come , first served' which everyone understands BUT NOT SO WITH TESCO!!!
