3 for 2 offer + Bargain Price - Log Roll For Garden Borders

Hi

Just popped into Argos and found that item 721/8235 2 pack of log roll (for garden borders) has been reduced in price to £4.99 but also this is in an offer of 3 for 2. This is the lowest price i have seen for this type of product anywhere. I also noticed that on the internet site there is an error so if you order upwards of 4 then the price appears to be incorrect in fact if you order 10 it only shows £12.98.

URL is: http://www.argos.co.uk/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/Search?storeId=10001&catalogId=3151&langId=-1&searchTerms=7218235&go.x=5&go.y=11

I hope this is of use to someone. Maybe the keen gardeners among us??

Cheers

Ouzy

  • For what I can see, any multiple of three seems to completely the wrong price!

    Just a word to the wise.

    I ordered 6 to be picked up at the store, cost £5.96

    My wife went to collect and (no) surprise was told they would be £21.00.

    She did not push it, no time, but I think you may have problems collecting them at the 'bargain' price.

    I've had this problem before with other mispriced Argos stuff on the'net.

    Best to order for home delivery (yes I Know it's £5.00) to get the bargain.

    If you buy 3 through quick pay they reduce to £0.00! The only catch is that you need to buy something else or it won't give you the receipts. I did it today, although they noticed the price at collection and so they had to "refund" me the log rolls and resell them to me. :(

    Gutted, bought 4x (2 free) today, turns out they are (IMHO) rubbish because there's 1/2 inch gaps between each log - meaning my decorative flowerbed the website helpfully recommends I can make will leak onto the lawn. :rolleyes: I also read "Stitched together with galvanised wire and staples" to mean a whole lot more than held together with a couple of bits of wire, but I suppose it's an accurate description.

    Beautiful garden plans back on the drawing board.... :beer:
