tech_guy Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 We had a mailshot from Dell that details their special offer on the Vostro A860 laptop - £199 ex vat & delivery.... ....so, we go on to their website to order and it's £229 ex vat & delivery..... .....we've looked and can't find the £199 offer..... .....grr!!! Have passed this on to our local TS.
webman Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Contact the ASA too, I think they cover things like this. 1
Haptic Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 TS? ASA? WTF? BBQ! TS "Trading Standards" ASA "Advertising Standards Agency" WTF "What the Hell" lol
bizzel Posted September 22, 2008 Posted September 22, 2008 Is there not one of those E-Value codes on the offer that you can punch into the website? Usually that takes you directly to the offer in question.
tech_guy Posted September 22, 2008 Author Posted September 22, 2008 Yes, but the argument was that there was no instruction to input the code and that casual visitors to the Dell site would only encounter the higher priced offering.
