Re: Half price X10 Modules!

[Ryan.Judd@xxxxxxx]

damm, do they sell 240v modules where you people are?? I'm paying in =
excess
of $90 (NZD) for each module here. surely I could order from overseas =
and
including the courier cost would be cheaper than what I'm getting =
charged
here!

I had a similar experience with my two local Homebases (are there =
always two
only 500 yards apart?  I wonder what the collective name for more than =
one
Homebase is? A "Shoal", a "Gaggle", a
"Flange"? - I digress).

I went into the first Homebase and as you say, the kit was near the =
burglar
alarms.  They only had one appliance module left which wasn't a lot of =
good
for the Buy 1 get 1 Free offer.  When I asked if I could just have the =
one
for =A315, the kiddy behind the counter looked at me like a rabbit in
headlights.  I went to the next Homebase down the road (the posters =
were by
the burglar alarms but a second poster said go to the power tools =
stand!)
They only had one left as well!  Any way, the assistant in this one did
actually "assist" me by taking my money at the discount price and
=
ordering
four modules for me.  He said if I paid up front, then I'd get them at =
the
discount instead of potentially paying full price when they finally =
arrived.

I think I've done ok, but I'm sure they'll manage to cock something up!

Great Yarmouth Homebase has 2 less Appliance Modules after I called in =
on=20
the way home tonight, and the wallet is ?30 lighter.

I couldnt find them at first, they arent actually out on the shelves, =
just=20
a poster on the wall near all the burglar alarms. I was looking in the=20
section with the electrical accessories and timeswitches which is where =
I=20
though they would be....WRONG!!

At first the assistant didnt know if they had any but said he could =
order=20
them at the offer price. Luckily they had several.

He also told me that the Homebase website is due to be relaunched with =
full=20
online ordering very soon.

I don't think so, - after I initially saw the offer in my usual branch, =

(and
failed to get any), the next day I hunted out the next nearest branch =
(only=20
5 mins further away!), went there, found some, still with the offer
advertised, and bought 4 (paid ?60). That was on Saturday morning....
