Re: Re: [OT] Screwfix and pricing deal

["Stuart Meier" <stuartm2007@xxxxxxxxx>]

Someone on UK-Selfbuild had a problem with a Screwfix offer recently
(buy
£500, get £100 voucher), also where the printed terms were not
complied with
(Screwfix had not said had to be in one order, not 3). They ended up
getting
the special deal, but in that case they had taken some specific action, so
you won't be on such strong ground, but good luck...
