B&Q website error - save 80%!

FedUpWithHikes

I was looking for some wood to fix a fence, and checked the B&Q website for a guide price before I went elsewhere.. and spotted some packs of 2.4m long, 100x19mm treated wood - the 10-pack was £36.60, but the 5-pack was £3.66 (obviously the 1-off price).
I checked stock at my local store, printed out the webpage, and went round.. They let me have two packs at the £3.66 price - an 80% saving!
The guy I spoke to said there was/have been other similar mistakes, so I guess they will be looking to fix the website, soon..

The guy at B&Q who agreed to let me have two packs for the price of 2 pieces said there had been other similar mistakes on their website - like concrete edging pieces at 10p each! I assumed they would have fixed the errors as soon as they were told, but maybe not. I wasn't planning on buying from B&Q, and just checked the website for 'typical' prices - but when I saw a 10-pack for £36.60 and 5 for £3.66, I had to try..
