Please be advised
wowcher are advertising a child sit on tractor from whoneedsshops.com, priced at £166 pounds and with wowcher just for 49.99 !!! great deal yeah !! i thought so and bought one
poor quality item arrived and after further research found the tractor on the official suppliers web page priced at 49.99, hmmm so no great deal
what a con, inflate a price then add discount to get to RRP.
wowcher response , nothing to do with us (you are the face company I came too) seems there marking team failed on this, but they wont take any reasonability.
whoneedsshops reponse… nothing.

Are the 'offiicial supplier' you refer to whoneedsshops?
As I write this, their price is £166.63. What are you seeing?

why not research before you buy though0 -
Why is it a rip-off? You paid no more than you would have done had you bought it from the official supplier. You were quite happy to pay it when you believed it was worth much more.
Please avoid DFS in January. It will only lead to anger and resentment.0 -
Because that would delay getting his hands on a bargain.imagine the Op is looking here

Honestly, who would believe that a plastic ride-on tractor would cost £166 in the first place?0 -
Wowcher is just another DFS, or Oak furniture land or hundreds of other fake RRP sites that catch the gullible thinking they are getting a bargain.0

Companies go to sites like wowcher to sell products and services only when they can't charge normal prices. Why be surprised when you get tat and rubbish service?0
