269miles Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 If you are thinking about buying furniture (unlikely , but we did yesterday). I just paid ?775 for a leather sofa (or settee , you might say) yesterday at SCS. Today my missus went in with my lad to show him what we'd bought. He said 'nice , only ?669'. My missus says , 'No , ?775' Turns out the price has dropped 10% since yesterday - when they were allegedly offering big discounts already. My wife went inside the store and was met by a smiling rep who she spoke to yesterday and was asked if everything is/was OK. Big mistake.:santa5: It is now with the additional 10% discount.:santa3: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eckauskas Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 It was a nice anecdote, kept me gripped to my seat in suspense. And I can't wait for the sequel. But it didn't contain any warnings. "Careful chaps, if you buy a sofa tomorrow, it might be cheaper than it was yesterday." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Doctor Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I once went to D.F.S. when there wasn't a sale on. It was shut, last Friday it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sterling Archer Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 it's only a warning if they'd refused to give you the additional discount. They didn't refuse so it's really not a story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chaka Demus & pliers Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I had a look in SCS once. Never again. There was not 1 sofa in there that had any hint of style. Be warned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Mighty Thor Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I think you are all missing the bigger picture here and within the OP a clear cry for help That message is; At some point in your life you will reach an age/lifestage where on the 26/27 Dec instead of lying festering in a raging hangover of your own making you will go willingly to a furniture store to look at, appreciate and ultimately purchase a leather sofa. Be warned. That clock is ticking. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sten Guns Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Pretty good goint that they granted the 10% for you. I blew ?3100 in Reid on boxing day. Sorry, my girlfriend did. Pre boxing day it would have been a much bigger spend though. So im chuffed. Also haggled for half price on the 5 year care pack. You dont ask, you dont get!

Jimmy McNulty Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Most stores here will honour prices to within x weeks of original sale (i.e. if it goes on sale a week later, you get a refund of the difference if you can provide the receipt). Never been a problem for us Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
