I was told years ago that a price tag is an invitation into the shop and is only a guide, however when similar things happen to me now I often resort to having a tantrum or cause some sort of fuss, it usually works because they don't want bad publicity either live or on line.
I hope you don't need to do that though and good luck.

Having got a variety of A***S vouchers for xmas, OH and i combined to get things for the home. We decided to get a 6ft floor lamp to give us some more light in the evening in our lounge.

Went online and the sale price was £26.95. It was curently out of stock but i reserved item and email said item will be in store between Fri 3rd Jan and Mon 6th jan.

I drove a round trip of 60 miles to be told sorry theres a delay should be in next week. Disappointed i said well i only come to town on friday and they agreed to extend my collection day to next friday.

Today i get an email to say it def will be available to collect next friday at the original price of....£39.95. It says in the small print on the email"the price may change on a daily basis and the price you will pay will be the price it is on the day of collection"

i am truly hacked off! When i reserved the item, I assumed it would be at the price it was advertised at.

Has anyone else had this problem and do i have a case to argue when i collect.? If they insist they can change the price whenever they want, then I don't want the item for the dearer price and hope I'm not committed to it.

It just seems bang out of order.
