Have just heard back from Trading Standards on this and we do not have a leg to stand on. This item was originally being sold for £29.95 and was soon removed from the website a couple of weeks ago - before I had chance to buy one - it seems to have been removed due to stock - so therefore if they have no stock of this item they have to offer a refund - so the only outcome will probably that everyone will be offered a refund of £0 - plus I do not think it helps that the confirmation emails do not state what was purchased and at what price!! - good fun trying though!!

i'll go for the threat of neg publicity

Indeed, how long before this thread follows the others that have all gone the same way.

Just for clarification , this £0.00 unit was NOT the £29.95 model that was on offer a few weeks ago . That one was the Lift -off basic , this newer one was the Lift-off Deluxe , 2 entirely different models .

No money has changed hands so there is no order.

Why would a busy company waste time even answering?
