So... following on from the computer disaster littlewoods sent the following....

Dear lynchtp,

I am writing in response to your recent order for a Compaq desktop computer. Unfortunately, the computer was priced incorrectly at €69 when the actual price is €519 for the large screen model and €499 for the smaller screen version. Therefore we are cancelling your order in accordance with our website terms and conditions.

This pricing error was due to a system fault and we would like to apologise for any disappointment that this has caused you.

We would love the chance to give you a more satisfying shopping experience and therefore, as a gesture of goodwill, we would like to offer you a 25% discount off your next order. However, if you would prefer not to receive any future marketing communications from us, simply reply to this email and we won't contact you.

If you would like to use the 25% discount, just quote code XX409 when you place your next order. The code will be valid for 7 days.

Yours sincerely,
someone from littlewoods

Looking like its only for people that ordered the PC.

Threads merged!

Voucher codes can only be used once.. so this thread is PM only from now on.

If you're not using your voucher code, let people know to PM. Don't post it here!

brightkane

I got the same email Basq, with the same code, so its not a unique code byt the looks of things.

jenno86

Sorry. But all the voucher codes are the same I think. Mine and lynchtp's are anyway. Did you check your e-mail Basquille?

Basq

Ahhh.. sorry, seems to be the same alright.

Wouldn't order off those chances again anyways!

€519 for the desktop for that spec is a bit overpriced if you ask me

Basq

Spotted an item that's between €90 - €120 in shops for €17 on the site.

They're up to their asses in misprices on that website! :mad:

Delivery from Komplett starts at €12.50 as far as I can see on the site. Delivery with littlewoods is "free" so with shipping included, littlewoods works out at the princely sum of €1.75 cheaper than Komplett.Bargain alert!Ahem

donmeister

The code doesn't work on my account even though I ordered the Compaq! Grrr

quarryman

I had a look around the site, everything (bar the ipods) seems to be at least 30% overpriced anyway. Pointless.

Should have checked the DID thread and offer. But don't do it now, you'll kick yourself.

majiktripp

Searched but couldnt find it, where is this thread you speak of!? What was the offer?

DID would be cheaper but just for the 8g ipod touch i think

Just checked my littlewood order status on the website and it says credit rejected beside my order.

So maybe their 25% discount was a load of crap... my order went through and have an order number, but looks like they don't want to honour the discount or something

Anybody else have any luck with the discount?

The 'mrs' ordered stuff last night and the discount code worked.

I ordered 3 of the pcs so in theory I should have got 75% discount.:pac:

cronos

I didn't order the pc and the code just worked for me on sale items...hopefully they won't decided to cancel it on me...

lindtee

25% off does not work for 3 for 2 items:mad: Tried ordering school uniform stuff included in the 3 for 2 but discount did not apply to them.

But, yes, the 25% does work for sale items and to be fair there are some good deals to be had, but selling out fast, 2 items that I wanted were out of stock by the time I got to checkout!

I was going to get this playstation 3 deal -Playstation PS3 80Gb console plus Fallout 3, Resistance Fall of Man, Superbad and xXx BluRay's and BluRay Remote which works out at 336.75 with the discount - http://www.littlewoodsireland.ie/rf/lwi/p.do/ps3-80gb-console-plus-fallout-3-resistance-fall-of-man-superbad-and-xxx-bluray-s-and-bluray-remote?Ntx=mode+matchallpartial&SNtt=playstation+3&groupId=581376733&Nu=pca_id&SNtk=generic_search&Np=1&SN=107+85&Ntt=581376733&D=581376733&Ntk=group_search&Dx=mode%2bmatchall&thisprod=581376733&N=107+85&Nty=1&Mis_item_id=15&Mis_item_loc_id=1&product=581376733

Unfortunatley there was a problem with re-issuing my cc and won't have it til the end of next week (when discount is over:() so can't go for the ps3 (my son was in tears)The things I did get, I had to put onto my account (which will be paid the second I get cc, don't want to risk paying their interest rates) However, I did order something which was excellent value (and possibly a mis-price) but I aint posting it here as I'll have no chance of getting it!:D:D

cosgrove80

I tried ordering something last night using the code. The discount came off at checkout but it wouldn't accept a credit card. I tried both a Mastercard and Visa but it said it couldn't verify them.

Is anyone else having problems?

Going to ring in a bit but I'm worried they may not accept the code over the phone.

tobriain

Have the discount code. Are any of the netbooks or laptops on the site competitively priced at all?

ozt9vdujny3srf

It seems like littlewoods are doing bloody well out of this misprice eh?

Basq

Flicking around the website.. not much I wanna order but thought these were decently priced:

PS3 Blu-ray Remote - €18 after discount
Philips 2GB GoGear MP3 / WMA Player - €25.50 after discount
Philips 4GB GoGear MP3 / WMA Player - €27.75 after discount

Irishpimpdude

Ordered a Ps3 and the order has been dispatched 291 euro nice one

sham69

Ordered a sony iphone boombox thingy for the missus.
Not sure exactly how much they go for but I got it for 74 euro..
Not bad but I am sure someone will reply and tell me that they are only 50 euro to buy or something like that.
She's happy so mega browny points for me....
