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

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

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