I bought the deal of the day from BT, 12 bags of gravel for £2.99 that had a RRP of £47.88/12 bags.

I ordered 4 lots of 12 bags and paid £11.96 plus delivery £16.99.

So £28.95 for Gravel stones with a RRP of £191.52 was a bargain yes?.

Well they arrived today the 12 bags are 1kg each, one would nearly fit in my shirt pocket, 3 buckets would carry the whole lot....

Now looking back at the advert it did say 12x1kg bags for £2.99 so more fool me really for not looking properly.
I rang their customer services, who said I can return at MY costs.............thanks a bunch BT....

anyway the moral is it looks to good to be true, it probably is..........but no more Brooklyn Trading for me.

ps they are now £5.99 per 12x1kg bags......:rotfl:
