Company "Reduced Prices" A Week After I Ordered!

Options
Terrible, terrible news...!

I placed an order of over £100 with an online retailer last week, received the goods in a timely fashion and was happy with the quality.

Yesterday I had an email from them offering 10% off EVERYTHING online, for two days only.

I might buy some more stuff as I paid a fair price last week which I was happy with at the time and an additional 10% off really is a bonus.

;)

    If there was a planned RISE in prices of 20% this weekend, would you also offer to pay the extra you now owe?


    Of course not. You bought the items when they were at a price which was agreeable to you at the time. You can neither forsee the future or travel to the past, so please don't torment yourself...!

    I have put the relevant parts in bold for you.

    Next time, try reading something before blurting out regurgitated nonsense.

    Do it through Quidco and if they're a Quidco partner, you'll get even more off.

    If it was Amazon they'd give you the difference back with 30 days.

    Go on admit it, you have been waiting for a post like this, to strike with your self righteous text. Helps to actually read the OP :wall:

    OH!


    I apologise TOTALLY OP! I really didn't read the post properly. I saw the first bit and fully expected it to be the usual rant about timing the purchase wrong.


    And yes, I then had a self-righteous, pompous rant, which was completely undeserved.


    I feel like a right TOOL and will read stuff properly to avoid such an embarrassing repeat....


    Having actually READ the OP now, it shows a refreshing attitude and I wish I could've helped.


    Sorry. Again. I'll go sit in the corner quietly for a while.

    Really? Worked for me last month, just dropped them an email.


    Edit - just to add, price went down £20 day after i received the item, a cpu and said i would send it back (was unopened) and just buy it again at cheaper price, so they just agreed to refund difference
