Comments

  • Don't believe what it says about 10% off, I was on their web site last night with my eye on a new fridge freezer, Samsung RSH1DTSW priced at £599.00 came up cheapest on all best price sites, got up this morning waiting untill 10.00am to order using my egg card to get another 5% off, checked price at 9.00am £799.00.
    10% off what a load of B0ll0cks!!

    Currys and Dixons seem to do this sort of thing a lot.
    Quite often on Pricerunner they have the best or near best price for an item.
    When you go to place an order it comes up as "out of stock"
    When the item comes back into stock the price goes up until such time as it is "out of stock" and the price then drops again.
    Too clever by half.
  • Bet the price drops once these vouchers expire and they have got rid of the stock that is not moving.
    I reckon they put stock that moves at a higher price to avoid purchases then when the so called 10% discount is over put prices back down when non moving stock as gone.
