    Hi the original offer was £233.82 inclusive of delivery and now there adding £60 delivery charges which were not added before...so if a very kind person were to give me there order number and postcode when they bought theres when the offer was on...the guy said he'd be able to reduce or even waive the delivery charge...thus bring the cost of the laptop from £293.82 to £233.82 inc del :)
  • Yes, it would be really helpful if someone who purchased could provide that information. I am also eager to get the deal.

    Hello
    I tried to order this laptop yesterday as well but they don't take solo. Hubby has been to the bank today to transfer the money into another bank account so we can pay by visa but now it's gone up another £60.
    Would anybody that bought this laptop yesterday be willing to PM me their details so I can try phoning like the OP? We only transferred just enough mopney to buy at the price it was yesterday and after searching for the last couple of hours, no other laptops with that spec even come close to that price.
    Thanks in advance,
    Ayesha

    Has anyone had any success getting yesterday's offer. I've just tried, and the best they would offer was half price delivery.

    I have rang them twice, once explaining that I was going to buy yesterday but they wouldn't accept solo so had to wait and transfer money to visa account before I could pay and a second time, giving them the order number and postcode of a fellow MSEr. Both times I was told no go and I had to pay with delivery. Gutted that I didn't get this and I curse my stupid solo card! Unfortunately I don't have the extra £60 to buy it at the new price otherwise I would as having a 2hr search today online showed me that even with the £60 delivery cost it's still a good price for the spec.
    Couldn't find any free delivery codes either.
