Makes no odds if its in your basket, its not reserved

Question for Dabs buyers - how much were you charged including vat etc. We got charged €125.75 per unit ordered via PO. Did we get stung by the conversion rate or was that the price off the site? 16GB version.

I was figuring on €99 per unit as delivery is free.

I am not at all concerned about my order at expansys now that I have this image:

It says right there, they will not ship or charge without a second confirmation. If they do charge your card, all you need to do is contact your bank, show them that jpg and explain that you want to take back the payment. They will do it no problems. I've done it a couple of times before. Thanks to whomever it was the posted the screen shot. I think it was vudoo.

Smart move from them, playing dumb , pretending they know nothing about the reduction

i bet they will reduce them once they see nobody collects the ones already reserved

Tablet site in the uK (Im sure we are all following but nevertheless) has posted the following warning

"please also warn people not to buy at full price as they are not guaranteed a refund unless bought before HP announcement!!!"
