EXPIRED Amazon Black Friday Deals Thread

Over on the Old-Style forum someone in the Kenwood Chef thread mentioned them being included in Amazon's Black Friday. I asked when and they said

Not sure littlesnuggy. I just got an email from amazon this morning saying kitchen equipment was in Black Friday today and when I clinked on the link in the email it went through to both the chef and the major. I've never done Black Friday before so not sure how it works or what kind of discounts are usually offered.

There are two models that are reduced but I've looked at them recently and there's no further reduction on them

Ok just been talking to somebody on the live amazon chat about the price of one of the deals:
Me:Hello, I bought the citronella anti bark collar on today's black friday deal. Before the deal went live, the price was £28.79. When the deal went live, it said 50% off and the price was now £20.49. Either my maths are suddenly really bad, or the correct deal price should have been £14.40?
It can't mean 50% off the RRP, as I purchased a dress on black friday the other day - original price £40, 50% off black friday price £20...

Kriszanne Dawn:Thank you for choosing Amazon Chat, my name is Kriszanne.
I understand your concern about the Lightning Deals promotion that was offered for your order.
I have tried to check on the deals we have for the day and I was not longer able to see the item.
The promotion offered for the item was 50% correct?

Me:Can't you click 'missed deals'? yes it said it should be 50% off

Kriszanne Dawn:Wait,
It is still available for today's deals at 34% claimed.
In this case I suggest that you reorder the item and complete the order within 15 minutes for you to avail of the discount.
here is the link for the item in the website http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B000H3VAQ8

Me:Yes but i will still be paying £20.49 won't i? 50% less than £28.79 is £14.40 which is what the price should have been

Kriszanne Dawn:Yes I was able to notice that.
I will try to check on this further. However our main goal here is you place an order for the item so you can avail of the 20.49 GBP price of the item.
not the 28.79 GBP.
Can you please try it? Would you like me to cancel the original order you have placed?

Me:what is 'avail'? you are misunderstanding me. I have paid £20.49, however that is not the correct price!
i have already ordered it at 20.49

Kriszanne Dawn:Oh I am sorry for that,
Yes the total order cost was only 20.49 GBP I was looking at the item price in the order.

Me:ok so can you please investigate what the deal price should have been? because as i understand it, 50% discount from the price of 28.79 should have been 14.40

Kriszanne Dawn:Yes I will try to check on this.
Once I have the information I will explain further.
Will it be okay if I send the updates in a confirmation email afterwards?

Me:yes please, thank you

Kriszanne Dawn:Great. Thank you so much. Is there anything else I can help you with?

Me:no that's all, thank you


Worth contacting them if you have any problems, they seem quite keen to help although takes a bit of effort to get them to understand you! Will report back with what they say!

I phoned them up. Its "50% off RRP" not off THEIR price. Pointed out that its not clear on the Deals page, but thats why the difference.

I have emailed customer service to ask if there's going to be a kitchen aid on black Friday deals. No harm n asking lol.

Ah well, we needed the collar anyway (got a dog trainer working with our dog but I like to have a back up plan!)

Glad about the jelly bean machines, I'd planned to buy one anyway so glad I waited!

It is brilliant though! I'm going to have to read them all again soon as I missed loads of detail skim reading to find out what happens!

I say go for it

Update. had an online chat to amazon about kitchen aid. Bless him he wasn't very bright. But he helpfully gave me the link to today's Black Friday deals page. Rofl . So none the wiser. Never mind.
