Sunrise Alarm Clock, Aldi Specials on Sunday - €29.99

Ordered one of the SAD lights aswell as a christmas present for someone. Not too confident that it will be honoured as I'd say too many have been ordered at this stage. Well Done to all those who have already received theirs. Its £119.99 on the UK boots website.

Wow, so that was indeed a miss price. But I haven't made up my mind if I should thank madrabui for saving me €130+, of did I just spend €20 on something that I didn't need until he/she posted about it. :pac:

damn got the gopro deal so I'm 100 on the watch list for this

gazzer · 29-11-2013 12:29PM

Got a confirmation email 2 hours ago to say that I can pick it up from my local Boots on Wednesday

Weyhey · 29-11-2013 01:53PM

Boots cancelled mine (I had opted for delivery to store ) and price is now €155.

Edited to say - I never got a dispatch email so if you are lucky enough to have got that far hopefully they won't cancel your order.

bk · 29-11-2013 02:02PM

Phew, Boots shipped mine this morning

Thanks a million madrabui, I had ordered a cheaper/smaller model (that worked out more expensive!) from the Amazon lightning sale, but was able to cancel it after ordering this one from boots

MollyZ · 29-11-2013 02:08PM

Kicking myself that I ordered mine to be collected from the local store. Got an email yesterday to say it had been dispatched to the store - if they'd dispatched it to me it'd be too late to cancel it. Haven't had a cancellation email yet, but it's probably just a matter of time.

lindtee · 29-11-2013 02:41PM

Got mine dispatched to store too

All to save a few euro :rolleyes: I'm hoping that they can't stop it at this stage (otherwise I'll have to think of something else to get the granny) Weyhey, did they cancel yours after it had dispatched?

Before they cancelled did you get a dispatched email?

No, they haven't cancelled it yet, but it's not due to be collected until Tuesday so they have plenty of time. Will just have to wait and see what happens. Will let you know if it does get cancelled.

Just nipped out of work there to pick up mine from store so thanks to the poster. Bargain at that price - something that I had thought about but wasn't worth €150 to me! Somebody in Boots will be getting a rap on the knuckles for the mis-price though I imagine.

uck51js9zml2yt · 29-11-2013 04:58PM

a contract was entered into. they offered,accepted payment and despatched the item for collection.
they'd have a hard time explaining to the national consumers council and small claims court why they broke the law in breaking a sales contract.

Dolbert · 29-11-2013 05:53PM

Mine's been dispatched too, fingers crossed!

RichardoKhan · 29-11-2013 09:40PM

Got mine from Blanch tonight. Big sunny thanks to Madrabui for the original spotting of this

MuffinsDa · 02-12-2013 12:51PM

I've got mine too, now I'm left with two! I got one (bright spark, slightly higher spec version) from amazon during black friday deals! Am going to send it back or put it up for sale but if any of the boardies want it I'll be happy to pass it on, just send me a PM.

MollyZ · 03-12-2013 02:43PM

Collected my light from boots this morning and am absolutely delighted with it. Thank you so much madrabui for spotting such an amazing bargain.

bromley52 · 03-12-2013 02:54PM

Got mine as well this morning. I can't believe they sent it. Cheer op.

uck51js9zml2yt · 03-12-2013 03:13PM

Picking up mine later. Will have a box I got from Amazon in a deal last week availabile if anyone is interested at cost. Was about £28 stg.

seamey beag84 · 03-12-2013 08:58PM

To anyone selling a spare one that they bought, can they put up a link of what they have? There were a few different ones on this thread and I don't know who's selling what.. gutted I missed the boots bargain..

lindtee · 03-12-2013 09:08PM

Picked mine up after work. Thanks a million Madrabui. The granny will be well pleased ( Hopefully:cool: )

prince20 · 04-12-2013 12:51PM

Picked mine up yesterday. Thanks a million Madrabui. Havent taken it out of the box yet, any feedback from those who have used it?

I used mine this morning and it is extremely bright! I had it in a very small room to start with but found it was too intense so moved to a bigger room where I could get a few feet away from it and it was great. As to whether it does was its supposed to, it's probably too soon to say. I was in great form after using it this morning but I think that probably had more to do with the fact that I got a €160 light for €20 than anything the light did.

You're supposed to use it about 15 inches away from your face for the effect.
However, you don't have to have it directly in front of you. Off to the side works best for me. I use it in bed in the morning just after waking up whilst reading / browsing.

I'll have to give that a try, I was really taken aback by how bright it was. I love having it on while I'm doing stuff around the house - really does brighten things up.
