Kays price error on DC07?

While doing a search for a Dyson DC07 on Kelkoo I came across this price for a steel & lavender coloured Animal model:

http://www.kayslifestyle.co.uk/psnlnet/product.aspx?brand=KaysLS&prod_id=165268

£107.99 inc delivery and if this is your 1st order you get an extra 20% off taking the price down to £86.39!

I thought it was too good to be true so called them and was assured that the price on the web site is what I will pay and that it is not a reconditioned/second item. Strangely the helpline staff only have catalogues available (no web access) and quoted me something around £300 I think.

I placed the order online and it all seems to be OK. I guess Kays will change the price soon as they realise. Will see when the Dyson arrives and the debit is made from my account but I saved a copy of the web order.

Hope this helps. Iain.


Update - OK I got a cancellation letter recently also. (And a catalogue I will be returning). Gist of letter was that Kays can't get hold of any. NO mention of price being an issue/mistake.

Has anyone received a DC07? If anyone does it might help the rest of us get one - if so, do you have the time of your web order.

Does anyone have any thoughts that we could try other suppliers and then hit Kays with where to get hold of stock?

    I'd rather not open and account with these peeps and pay ourtright for the dyson, does anybody know if you still get the 20% off or is it based on an application for an account with them.

    Ta for now

    Do you think this should be in the grab it now section ?

    This is an error I think. The page in your basket shows the ordinary upright not the Animal. It also states it is a DC07 Upright and the silver/yellow version is £204.99. Looks like they might have got them round the wrong way?

    The 'Animal' version will be within 3 weeks...will they use the 'out of stock' excuse not to supply if it is a price error?

    Thanks!
    Just ordered 1.
    £107.99 - 20% = £86.39
    4% cashback through greasy palm = £3.45
    Tesco points 86p x 4 for deal = £3.45
    £79.49 total price
    Only online price I can find for this model is with appliance online. £270.
    If the model that arrives is as stated then this is a huge saving!!!
