    You're kidding!!!! I'm gutted, the man I spoke to was most insistant that they wouldn't honour my order. Out of interest did your order show up in track my orders or did you receive any correspondance about it before it was delivered.

    I can't see how they can charge you the full price if they've delivered it, surely the transaction is now complete.

    I ordered it as soon as I saw the original post I also ordered a pair of trainers with it so I wonder if it was due to the balance not showing as 1p??? Shame they didn't honour it for some though as was a great bargain
    Saving money £1 for lb started 19/10 = £6 saved so far! :j

    :beer: Thankyou so much sabotage1 the bed has just been delivered:j can hardly believe it. I hope you got 1 too, I owe you a drink. I ordered some trainers for my wee girl so maybe having something else on the order helped it go through:confused: .
    As I said THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU THANKYOU (can you tell I'm pleased)
    Booo!!!
  • I'm gutted.. no order tracking and no bed... My little girl is in desperate need of a new bed too. Her current bedbase was mine when I was a girl! With money tight I was hoping it would be a lovely xmas prezzie for her.

    To those whose have arrived- did the order track?

    I got email confirmation of joining littlewoods, but no order confirmation..

  • littlewoods hmmm youll proberly get a letter in a month requesting the full amount

    it does happen happened to me TWICE
    littlewoods loophole crap
    :confused:
  • The two terms below are from the littlewoods site. My reading of them is that once the order is delivered, the items are yours and littlewoods have no comeback. Further, the order is accepted and a contract between you and them is formed at the price stated.

    Their only chance to change the price or stop the order is if they contact you prior to the goods being despatched. The terms state that the order will be cancelled if they can't contact you.

    2.2 When you submit an order to us on our website you will receive a
    'bounce back' confirmatory email of this order saying that we are
    processing your order. You will then receive a second email from us
    acknowledging your order and giving you estimated timescales for
    delivery. You should check both emails for accuracy and let us know
    immediately if there are any errors. Neither of these emails
    constitute acceptance of the order by us. Your order will be accepted
    by us (and a contract will then be formed between us) when we despatch
    the goods to you. Title to the goods will pass to you on delivery.

    3.2 Whilst it is our intention to keep our website up to date and
    error free, product description or pricing errors may occur. If we
    discover such an error after you have submitted an order to us, we
    will contact you prior to accepting your order with the correct
    details. You may then either cancel your order or re-confirm it based
    on the correct information. If we are unable to contact you, we will
    treat your order as cancelled.

    Also, having seen a delivery note, the price stated on it is 1p. So, if a letter does come, littlewoods are out of luck. Unless, of course, you are daft enough to agree to pay the full amount.
  • bit like the 25 pound voucher i dont trust littlewoods no mmore

    I think it is a bit different to the £25.00 voucher scenerio as people who were not entitled to use the voucher used it and that was Littlewoods' complaint. However, anyone is entitled to buy a bed for 1p if it is advertised as such and then delivered for that price.

    I received a letter stating:

    "Dear Ms Chocaholic

    Thank you for your enquiry.

    Unfortunately, our information shows that it may not be appropriate to fulfil your request at the address you have supplied. This may be for one of a number of reasons, including respecting a previous request from yourself.

    We are sorry to disappoint you. Details of your request and our decision will of course remain strictly confidential."

    I have had no other contact with Littlewoods other than ordering a bed, so it must be to do with that.

    Has anyone else received one of these?
