B&Q Oslo Slim Christmas Tree online price inc delivery £15 cheaper than in store.

If anyone is after a new artificial Xmas tree - theres a B&Q price difference between their in store and online prices for the 6' slim Oslo I reserved one online last night for in store collection, the online price was £30 but when I went to collect it they wanted to charge me £50 I argued that I'd reserved it at £30 but they wouldn't budge and said that I needed to read my reservation email, so I told them I didn't want it at that price and walked out. Got home and checked the email and it did say at the very bottom that in store prices might be different and I would have to pay the in store price so I just ordered it online at £30 plus £5 delivery charge and I'm still paying £15 less than the in store price.

If anyones interested its this one: http://www.diy.com/nav/christmas/artificial-trees/plain_trees/B-and-Q-Oslo-Slim-Christmas-Tree-6-183cm-12498701

Its not as bushy as some of the trees (hence slim line) but its a lovely mix of different colour greens with bark coloured branches so it looks quite natural.
Win's so far: Cadburys Mini Eggs £1.09 Pentel Goody Bag £10 , M&S Luxury Hamper £45, 10,000 Tesco clubcard points (£100) :j
