Cargo Home Stores

I've been looking for AGES for a small cabinet to fit in my little entrance hall, and finally I found one today in Cargo Home Stores. It's this one: http://www.cargohomeshop.com/pradesh-occasional/default.aspx?VarID=970

I have the money to buy it and I would really love to have it, but I think even though it has £80 off it, it's still not all that cheap and I will regret it for months and years if I buy it an then find something cheaper. Does anyone have any ideas/tips where I could find the same thing or something similar for less or where there is a discount voucher or something?

Thanks everyone for your help.

I was going to say buy one of their loyalty cards for £5 and this gives you 10% off all purchases, but now it seems it's only off full price

might be worth checking in a shop to see if it is off sale stuff too, as I know it used to be.

Edit for ST Georges day it's 23% off with a loyalty card, and it seems to include sale items. Homeware is furniture, right?

Oooh! Thanks - that knocks it right down to £135.89 including the cost of the card, much better than £250.

I don't really want to pay shipping on the card (and it may not get here in time) so I am going to visit the shop again tomorrow and try and buy it there. If they don't have them I'll offer the salesperson £130 for the cabinet and say that's how much it would be in the offer anyway. I've haggled with them in there before on a cake stand and got 20% discount and free matching napkins thrown in so I know they have discretion on pricing. And if you don't ask, you don't get, as my mum always told me.

Thanks for your help!

I visited the shop today, only to be told that furniture is not homewares and isn't included in any offers.

I told the saleswoman that I had only brought £135 with me and I didn't want to spend that much (the ticket price) on it, in my whimsical way of indirectly fishing for a discount. She took offence and told me I wouldn't get it any cheaper and walked off and ignored me.

I will buy it anyway because I do want it and it's the perfect size for my hall, but no discount for me. I'll send my husband in on Saturday for it.

That's terrible. If you haven't already bought it, I'd try speaking to their head office on the phone. They specifically list 4 exclusions from the event, & don't say furniture is not included.

They don't even give a definition of 'homeware'...or have that listed as a category in their shop. I wouldn't have thought that everything they sell is defined as homeware
