Page 1 of Charmed Season One Boxset - £6.97

............. at asda.com including free delivery. This boxset is anything from upwards of £35 anywhere else (£36.99 at Play for example)

Not sure if it is a misprice , but it has been this price at Asda before and all orders were honoured then.
Worth buying as a christmas gift or if you spend more than £20 , there is a code you can use to get £2 off (not sure if I can post it here as I am not sure of the terms and conditions, but the code is a bit of a bargain ;) )

Thanks for that.
With the Starsky And Hutch boxset also at Asda for under £6, the Frost boxset I got last week from HMV & now this, at this rate I`ll finish my Christmas shopping by November!

Cheers for that.


Is that the time? Damn you Xbox 360!!!!

Excellent spot.

Price has shot back up to £35.97. Expect a cancellation email in the morning.

Bugger that could be THO`s stocking filler out the window. :(

Have to find something else that looks pricey now. ;)


I consider myself an optimist, albeit an optimist with cynical tendencies and a dark side that Lucifer himself would find a little creepy. (Perhaps you've noticed.) You don't normally associate cynicism with an upbeat pov. But I have exactly that combination and will defend it.

You know what really aggravates me about companies who make a pricing mistake like this? That they can`t be honest about it and say "We`re sorry, we made a pricing mistake and we can`t offer you these goods at this price." Last night the price of the box set shot up to the more usual £35, and now the title has been deleted completely from their website. I don`t expect them to honour the price - we`ve all been over the law on this and there`s no precedent other than goodwill for them to honour the price. I just wish they were on the ball enough to catch these mistakes and not leave customers hanging wondering whether they`ll get their bargain, be stung for full price or be cancelled.

I`m frankly unimpressed by ASDA Entertainment anyway. Their estimate for dispatch is 19/10 - they obviously don`t carry stock and order as required - which is moving like a snail compared with a lot of the more established and more reliable DVD retailers online.

I was actually very impressed with Asda honouring their last pricing error. I got Charmed season 1 for 6.97, the West Wing season 3 for £6.97 and Smallville season 4 for about £15. The Hut (who Asda use for their entertainment stuff) didn`t honour the prices but Asda did... I had to wait a little while for the cheaper ones but good things come to those who wait... ;) No complaints from me, good luck! :)

As SK said , I got the same deals from Asda last time round , but also got similar deals from The Hut.
I had to wait a long time for the orders to be filled , but they sent regular updates by email and they were honoured (unlike most of the pricing errors I have gone in for).
So don`t give up hope on these. I think it has a better chance than most of coming through.

That`s reassuring, G-Man. Interesting what SK said about ASDA using The Hut as a supplier. You`d think an outfit like ASDA would do its own sourcing. TESCO seems to do its own.

<penny drops> This will be something to do with the new rules about setting up offices of convenience in Jersey, won`t it? ASDA`s been too late to set up proper facilities in the Channel Islands, so they`re using The Hut as they`re already established.
