Sexy Beast/Gangster No1/Limey - Misprice at Streetsonline??

The triple pack due on 16th September is priced at £10.49 + £1 post at Streetsonline.

I`m pretty certain this is a misprice as the other sets in the series (eg. Shallow Grave/Dogma/Human Traffic) are £17.79 + post.

Sexy Beast is excellent, Gangster No1 is pretty good, The Limey is s**t. But £11.49 for 2 good films & a coaster ain`t too bad!!

Streets normal cancel misprices.

But, If they cancel yours email them saying that the have violated the Which Webtraders Code of Practice (they are a member) by cancelling the order. They should then let you have it at the lower price (normally they get you to reorder at full price, you email them the details and they discount it.

The Which Webtraders Code of Practice says that the contract to supply you is formed when the supplier (streets) sends you email (etc) containing your name, order number, item, price, and info on how to cancel. So by cancelling the orders streets break the Code of Practice that it signed up for.

i think you will find they will honour the mis-price if it is one... they are the internet arm of good old woolies, remember what they did for those of use who ordered the `dirty harry boxset` at £19.99... i rest my case!

Anyway an excellent post, its worth the money just for `sexybeast`...

cheers,

Woolworths Group Plc, consists of Woolworths, Big W, MVC, Streets-Online, if you visit either the MVC or Woolworths site, you will notice that it is powered by (run for them by) Streets-Online...

marksparks99, they normally cancel misprices, they did this with everyone who ordered Babylon 5 Season 1 at the lower price (they were using the wrong RRP). But you can get it by complaining using Which Webtrader

I dont think that it is a misprice. If you search on dvdpricecheck you`ll see that most retailers have it priced around the £12 mark
