A quickie please - a friend has a C&C including Radoxes and Olays but she has been charged full price and money taken (ie no multi buys). Is that the glitch? Or should she cancel the order? Apologies, not near an A so I don't know.
Many thanks.
Collected and charged full price, or the online order appears to have charged full price? You need the order to charge full price (don't worry, this amount is not actually taken - you are charged what it states on your C&C receipt) but on collection the multi should come off on the receipt.

Msm or a.com? Would you
Mind me putting numbers into old site & see where it's taking prices from?
I believe these are (or were at the time) 3 for £3 in-store but not according to A .com so multi is missing from the new APG - I'm unsure of old APG.#CHEEKY :cool:0 -
