Black Friday rip-off

moonpenny

I ordered a washing machine from Curry's in the black Friday sale.
It had 10% off which brought the price down £40 supposedly with free delivery.
I ended up paying £9.99 delivery as the free one was nearly 2 wks away.

Anyway, checking the website a couple of days later found the same washer had been reduced £100. (After the sale was over.)

The next day I cancelled.
It has taught me a lesson to ignore all future black Friday sales.

You get what you pay for. The black Friday deals are a way to sell off naff stock.

In what way is this a "rip-off" ?

There could be any number of reasons for a further price reduction, the most likely being that they had over-ordered /lots of stock left after the initial reduction and wanted to shift them quickly.

Is it a rip off, a case for buyer beware I bet.
