Habitat Glitch - 30% off twice?

SuperSmoothie

Just been looking on Habitat's website at bathroom accessories - there's 30% off many of them and on each product page it says "discount will be applied at checkout" - but in what seems to be a glitch they've taken the 30% off on the product page and then another 30% comes off when you checkout.

So in total you get 51% off these items.

Eg. Metra Tilting Bathroom Mirror - £90.

When you checkout - this item comes down to £44.10 (first 30% discount has it at £63, then at checkout another 30% brings it to £44.10 - less than half price).

This appears to be the case on all items from the "Metra" and "Everson" ranges - but nothing else I can notice.

Seems to have been fixed?

Not for me - glitch is still working - just added that mirror to basket again - and at checkout it took another 30% off giving a price of £44.10 + shipping (£4.95).

The original price of the mirror is £90 but you can't see this because the 30% discounted price of £63 appears on Habitat when you search for it.

(Check it out here - all the items still full price on the Argos website: http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/7963164.htm)

Then at checkout a further 30% is deducted.

As I mentioned earlier - this double 30% discount is happening on everything in the "Metra" and "Everson" ranges as well as many other bathroom items I noticed since.

£90 is not the original price
if you go here:
http://www.habitat.co.uk/metra-tilting-bathroom-mirror/-//fcp-product/93535?colour=silver

it clearly states:
DISCOUNTS ARE APPLIED AT THE CHECKOUT.

so its not double discount - but just the simple 30% discount they have stated as being applied at checkout.

No, the OP is correct, the whole range is priced up on the 'metra' page WITH the 30% discount applied, and then it's taking another 30% off at checkout. I know as I have this design in my bathroom (and paid full price )

Can I just ask about the fixing system for the mirror (if someone has it)? It says that no new holes need to be drilled into the tiles - how does that work?

SuperSmoothie

I don't have the mirror - but I have the Metra towel ring and toilet roll holder.

Both those came with some special glue, so you could fix to the wall if you didn't want to use screws (which were also provided).

I'm guessing it's the same with the mirror.

This is a good sale offer anyway as they have some lovely items on there with 50% off plus you get 10% off if you sign up with them & 3% Quidco
