My order status is showing "Order Accepted" but I'm sure that means nothing.

johnfás

Cheers for that, they're under no obligation to honour it and I can't see them doing so but worth a shot nonetheless.

gazzer

Gave it a shot as well.

Its now 11.50 ,I too am on bored and got greedy with the 21" screen and the promo code ...

Wertz

God I love these threads...the hype, the hope, the cancellation eMail, the recriminations, the five pages of moaning and various people quoting consumer law and T&C's.

*orders anyway*

Basq

It'd be hilarious if the people who ordered without using the voucher code got their orders honoured.

But Littlewoods saw people who used the voucher and just thought "there's greedy.. and then there's taking the piss! CANCELLED"

You have given me a dilema now! To use the voucher code or not. Decisions decisions

Should we start the thread on how to upgrade it to Alienware standards now, or wait until later?

I'm projecting into the future to avoid the stress of thinking about whether the offer is going to be revoked or not.

Just ordered mine - with promo code and order acccepted! Now I'll wait for the error email!!!!

finno

At the end it says if you pay by Debit Card, the funds are taken instantly. Wasn't there something on a previous BA mis-price thread that they had taken the funds and so had to honour it?

Same here

NedTermo

Trying to order with AIB Laser but won't accept because there is no "valid from" on the card. Anyone else had a similar problem?

paidi_ed

Ordered with discount code 55.20 ... hehe, doubt i'll ever see a compaq box at my door though

nouveau_4.0

Gave it a try anyway. Ordered half an hour ago. Status is "Order Being Processed".

Not looking good!

Same here, no email received yet either.

chavezychavez

They're taking their time getting it sorted out if it is bogus. Gonna be a lot of emails going out saying no-can-do if they don't sort it out soon.

We can always send the story to "The Register" for our revenge.

finno

mine has order accepted

jelly&icecream

Mine is still "order being processed". Doesn't look good!

roundcrisis

jeez that checkout sure asks for a lot of data, I think this is an hoax or the information will be sold or there is something really fishy here

IN the Terms and conditions there is something about installements
"
Credit Agreement and moneylending agreement regulated by the consumer credit act 1995
We, Shop Direct Ireland Ltd. of Cape House, Westend Office Park, Blanchardstown, Dublin 15, trading as Littlewoods Ireland agree to provide you, the customer, (named below) a running credit account for purchase of any goods or services offered in any of our catalogues, leaflets, websites or advertisements."
this is a cpoy and paste from their T&C https://www.littlewoodsireland.ie/rf/lwi/static.do?page=help7&segment=07

EDIT: the asking for loads of data happens if you pay by flexible account, the credit card seems normal enough

smodgley

got my confirmation mail for 69 ????

hshortt

Also ordered, sure, ya never know!

Noticed this on the t&cs though.

A guy in work rang them up and they confirmed the price was valid.
Could have been someone asleep and not paying attention though.

No hope it's valid.. it's a crazy price!

He was probably talking to the Littlewood's janitor..

chavezychavez

If it is valid, its some throw away price for a 21.5 inch monitor, 160GB Sata drive and Gig of Ram (what I consider to be the best parts of it).

When i get to the add card bit it just gives me an option to enter a number then it comes up as a delta card and i cant change it to visa anyone else find this or does that mater ? ?
