Mandy- there's a freephone number for Customer Services on their website. Maybe worth phoning to complain?

When i placed my order it was hours later i went to pick it up and they hadn't processed my order at all..by then they will be gone..If you reserve you need to go asap

Just been to the big Chester superstore and picked mine up no problem. I was so relieved after reading the above....omg can't believe I was getting so worked up over 2 £1.99 lamps!!

I reserved one of each of these lamps and picked them up tonight. I have not tried the lava lamp yet, but the Zeontech Mini Water Vortex is brilliant.

Just fill it with water and switch on. The water changes through a whole load of colours with a vortex rising through it. Very effective and soothing too. But I would not recommend giving them to anyone other than an adult. (too risky)

All the shops assistants rushed to get one when I picked mine up. Well worth the £1.99. They are listed at £25 on a lot of sites, and even in Dixons they are £15. Thanks again for this post. Polly:j

Just picked a couple up myself - instructions say you should use distilled water - is this what you used or normal tap water? I don't want to damage it.

Oh, FYI this is not so mini as it sounds - height is aprox 32cm, with a 10cm diameter.

We also got the radio duck for the bath at £4.99 - very well made - extremley impressed with the quality.

GRRR! :mad: I'M FUMING!!¬¬

Just spent 30 minutes driving to Nuneaton where I had reserved four of the Vortex lamps for last minute stocking fillers, only to be told by the SA. "We're out of stock!..." My eyes met hers with a visible disbelief and then after a brief pause, she said, "sorry" and turned away.

I began walking out thinking life's too short but my anger got the better of me and I further questioned why on earth this had happened and moaned about the journey there and the journey I had to make back....for nothing.

She said, "Someone said they'd phoned you!", when I asked who she said I don't know, before, once again, the sorry and turn away routine.

I'm back now seething thinking what I could have done during the last two bloody hours ARGH!!!!:mad:

Rant over...

Same thing has happened to me at a store in Yorkshire.

I had two of these vortex lamps on reserve only to be told that they were out of stock when I rang them to check. I was also told that they tried to call me but there was no message on my answering machine. I'm very angry and bitterly let down by Currys but I would urge you to call the freefone number on their website and ask the call centre to check with the your store ..... it'll probably save you a wasted journey !

I would of asked for the manager and not left the store until I'd had a full apology and some compensation. People take stuff like this lying down Faaaar too often!

The plasma lamps are very small, but at 4.99 a good stocking filler.
