Hi guys, is Dyson D35 animal plus free accessories kit a good deal at 219.99? I have a code and I don't know whether to use it or wait for a better offer.

Yes. Don't think that it can be got any cheaper.

Jervis wouldn't honour my Alien Isolation reservation from friday this evening.

Price went back up Saturday morning, strange thing is the PS3 and 360 versions doubled in price but the PS4 and Xbox One didn't change. I am due to go in there tomorrow to get an Asus tablet if they come in may not bother now.

Sorry should have been clear they were honouring the price on Saturday for Alien Isolation at least they did in my case, I reserved the Asus at €59.99 for collection tomorrow on the kiosk in Jervis so I might get lucky.

Couldn't trust that she'll hold her change with that much power.

Got the Dyson DC19T2 today after reserving it on fri and found it best value, 10 euro voucher too, and rang them at 20.50 asking about the extra 15% off, no problem, calling in tomo to collect the vouchers. nice 30 quid

Quick Q - if you have reservation code available between X and Y date, do you have to wait for another text to confirm it's actually in store or is it available on all/any of those days?

The 'X' date is the it is supposed to be coming into store via the Delivery. Assuming the item is on the delivery you will get a text that day when the delivery is finished.
Your best bet to ring the store after lunch to see is the item in.

Thanks, will try that tomorrow.

I ended up buying the DC35. I got the 10 euro voucher but no one mentioned extra 15% off. Is this up to the shop? I'm in Mahon Cork. What number did you call to check?

Philips Head Clippers, Less than half price.

I had one of these and it recently broke (my fault) and I wanted to get a new one, mine was a present that cost the guts of €100. This is a great clipper for people who DIY. The newer one seem quiter and stronger than my original as well.

Was in Stephens Green yesterday collecting a reserved black Friday deal that wasn’t in stock on the day. I had a printout of my reservation. Guy at counter kept saying it was showing up at a higher price. I wasn’t in the mood to call a manager so I said forget it.

Person on next till overheard and said to the guy that she would override the price. She told him herself or a manager could override the price if the customer had a printed copy of their reservation showing the price they reserved it at. She said she always tell customers to bring in printed copies of their reservations showing the reduced price.

I'm just back from the Dundalk store, where I had reserved both the Lenovo Yoga and the Asus Memopad. I put the Memopad in the pay machine and it came up at €99.99, so I cancelled the transaction, the Yoga was €139.99, so I paid for that and got €20 vouchers, I called the manager over and showed her the reservation text ( no email, as I'd reserved instore as the site was close to crashing), a phone call to upstairs, got the Memopad for €39 with the vouchers, paid and got another voucher!
