Screwfix at it again!

Just having a skim through Screwfix sale items and spotted this:

Thought it'd be worth picking a couple up but, lo and behold, not available for either pick up or delivery. This is probably the 7 or 8th time they've had stuff on for silly prices but aren't actually selling them. A while ago they had a £250 Makita biscuit jointer for £30, same story. Is it a sales ploy? Cos if it is it sucks balls!

if its a sales ploy pretty sure its not legal to adverstise stuff thats not for sale send the link to trading standards

Bah. Probably a discontinued item and one branch has two left in stock, so they remain on the database until the last two are sold. Can't be delivered as not in a delivery distribution centre.

That's my thought anyway.

Every new catalogue they bring out and the prices rocket and the price increases are not something we can continually pass on to our customers. The rock bottom sales prices are exactly what Ric2013 describes above. They are discontinued items and are only available in a few stores. I did manage to grab a multitool that was reduced to £30, but had to travel 30 miles to another store to collect it. Luckily I was working not too far away on the day I went for it.

Ring the Orderline 24hr 0800-096-2629
And ask which branch(es) have them or had them and they've been sold.
