Looking at Go Outdoors website for Grivel G10 flex crampons, I notice there is a "Half Price or Less" ontop of the Grivel image. Yet the price does not appear to be half price or less.

Normal price = £110

current price = £89.99

Am I missing something ?

I do have a discount card.

thanks, Alastair

Me to i am waiting to call this morning with a complaint, should i not get the items i want for half price or less then i am going to report them to trading standards.

An example on the email is says half price or less, and then a button to view all, i clicked this and lots items come up, NONE half price or less even though they have the little band across the picture.

From memory, if you say things like half price sale then at least 10% of the stock must be half price at the commencement of the sale, they do not say this tehy say half price or less which means half the original price or less than that ie >50%.

Stuart, you're actually wrong although I agree with your complaint - there are a good few items at half price at the bottom of the 400-odd items - ( such as a handy camping chair...)I agree completely that it's misleading advertising to plaster the 1/2 price banner across all the items.

In any case, Go Outdoors will simply not have any of the items you want in stock anyway...
