If Rael doesn't take it could I have the code if you decide against buying it please?:)

[GONE] Anyone want a Jervis Street code valid until end of Friday? First PM gets.

Was able to order for collection next week as it is not in stock anymore. But if anyone has made a reservation in any of the Cork stores and have decided they are not going to use it would be great to get it sooner:) (and before the mistake is noted)

Have done this too, hope the price is the same, thanks OP

Mine says it will be ready for collection between Saturday and Thursday. Am I to assume that it will be waiting there on Saturday or is that 7 day slot an opening for when a truck might possibly turn up with it.

Bit of a pain really because one section of their site says this

Are we expected to simply wait by the inbox to see IF they have enough to satisfy demand?

Usually means that it will be there from Saturday and held until Thursday for you

If I don't use it myself (I am leaning towards buying it though!!) and Rael doesn't want it, I'll pass it onto you. The code is until close tomorrow, so if I'm not going to buy it I'll pass the code on tomorrow afternoon.

Well it will be my poor mother who will find out on Saturday. I reserved them for her to buy me it for Christmas(one for my brother as well). :rolleyes:

She'll have it out with the manager if they are not there. Glad I won't be there.

I'm in Dublin so Cork isn't good for me Thanks for the offer though! If anyone has a code for a city centre location they're not going to use, would be gratefully appreciated.

Backstreet Moyes

I reserved it but wont be available until next Tuesday. So i presume this means im not guaranteed that price. Thought it would be a nice cheap present.

swampy353

I have one reserved in tallaght, if someone wants to chance their arm with currys can forward on the reservation email. This should be enough to envoke the price promise. Pm (will be changing the reservation number on email, not that I don't trust ye) :-P

Thanks but I'd say you should go for as it is a great price!

It will be just a waiting game I'd say.
I reckon its a bit of a marketing ploy just like the "rip-rider" case last year that I mentioned earlier in thread. Most of the ones ordered for collection when it was out of stock were honoured at the misprice when they came back in stock so I am slightly optimistic. I'd take a screen shot of the current price just to be on the safe side though!

Libera

I wonder if the Currys Price Promise only applies to the items in the Weekly Price Check List (see the tick boxes). In that case, it wouldn't include Shavers. Hmmm...

The shaver is available to order for collection for sometime next week in most stores at the moment.
The riprider was last years argos pre-christmas misprice sensation (that never made it to bargain alerts for some reason)

It is not guaranteed but I am hopefull:pac: The offer ends on the 20th so fingers crossed that they come back in before then.

guza81

I reserved one in Cork retail park. For collection 18 Sun - 20 Tue, so i presume this means price should be guaranteed as per: Current selling price valid until 20/11/2012.

I went and had a look on the Currys forum to see what Captain Morgan was talking about.

Its fair enough if they are not willing to beat a price which is there by mistake, if it turns out officially to be a mistake. Whats unbelievable is that the Currys rep has stated that items on sale at other shops are not included in the "Price Match plus 10% off the difference" offer they are so proud about that they plaster it all over the front of their home page.

Misleading? Pffffft

Who's the genius who sent a pm to Currys which they're now investigating - prob by contacting Argos to confirm it?

Can't you just be happy with the bargain itself without tying to score an additional "bonus"from another retailer?

I expect to see these not being delivered into store by the 20th and the. The price shooting up. I hope I'm wrong.....

It's a bloody error FFS. Look at the price with any competitor. How can you honestly expect PCW to price match this plus 10%?

Same as others pissed about the fact that they were prevented from making multiple orders on low value items to avail of the extra tenner off in the recent PCW error.

Mistakes happen. If you slip through, well done. But if it doesnt work out, dont be bitching about it endlessly. Some people on this forum are genuine fruitcakes.

Thanks OP got one ,has an euro 2 pin plug (for bathroom i expect),So get an adapter if you are going to use it elsewhere.

Cheaper in Dealz or 2Euro shop.

Argos do great reductions from time to time so may not be a pricing error ,you only have to look at that LG 42" led tv a few weeks ago for €450 as well as a good few other less than half price offers they have made.

Feck it! I thought it was going to be a flatscreen TV!!

Got my automatic text from them a few mins ago. Called store to double-check. The guy said there are quite a few of them on the delivery, but all are already reserved. My early reservation yesterday did say it'd be in today too, but later reservation said Mon.

Can anyone help here?

This is still priced at £67.99 on the argos.co.uk site so is pretty definitely a misprice. Still hoping to get mine on Monday though.

Well It's 10:32 on a Friday morning and the price has been "wrong" for a long time. They have had ample time to e-mail all the people or text all the people still waiting to tell them that the price in voided and their reservation is gone.

They haven't so we must assume the product should still be available until they tell us.

g0g

Just picked mine up in Blanch so ignore my request for a code. Looked a bit rubbishy I thought with the outside sleeve thingy for Christmas packaging but the inside packaging looks better. Have been using RQ1075 for years and I can see how that used to be pricey enough (as it has fancy washing stand and case), but this new one from today now I think you'd be mad to spend € 200 on! Handy feature seems to be you can just wash the entire unit under a tap.

If you are a fan of a very clean, baby-skin shave, don't hold your breath. Grand for a quickie I'd imagine, that's the only reason I'm investing.

Price you pay is the price on the day you go to pick it up, so if you don't do it today the price could be corrected by tomorrow and you will have to pay the new price.

Price on the screen says it is the price until the 20th November so they would have to honour it up to close of the shop on Monday I would assume. (Unless they come out and claim it's a pricing error)

Thanks, I will stick to the razor blade method in the shower once a week and look like a hermit the rest of the time

Sounds like the isn't worth the full price, but is it worth the €31.78 at least?

Before YOU start bitching endlessly and swearing at me. Why dont you actually absorb what I wrote in that text. Same goes for the person who thanked your post.

I didnt once bitch about this offer. I actually think you mustve read my post while you were half asleep because its SO clear I said I wouldnt expect them to price match plus 10% IF its a genuine mistake.

The whole point of my post is that Currys are saying they dont price match plus 10% on any items in any store which are on sale. Nothing to do with a mistake, just any item which is on sale. I dont even have a problem with them doing this, its their offer and they can make it any way they like, my problem is that they do not mention anything about the offer excluding items which are on sale. Some might call it misleading, which is what I did in my post on their forum, but I dont think its designed to mislead, its just a downright lie.

Before you post up about this post, have a read again, just to make sure you understand it before you start throwing your infantile cursing around.

they offerring that, it is not my imagination, is it?
so either they stick to their word or cancel that offer, instead we get some bs from their 'marketoids'

Same as others pissed about the fact that they were prevented from making multiple orders on low value items to avail of the extra tenner off in the recent PCW error.

another example that their advertising campaigns are poorly planned and executed, but how it is my problem? someone got paid for that extra tenner idea so the same person should take responsibility for it

I got a reservation for Swords but I won't be able to collect it now. If anyone wants the ticket, PM me.

EDIT- mine's gone now.

The razer is actually cheaper than the replacement heads. It was cheaper for me to buy this one new rather than get replacement heads for my old one.
