Today I got a message saying a Dreamkeeper coat I was on waitlist for has been dispatched. So I had a check to see if my size was now back in stock, or if I was being sent a return. (Pretty sure it's a return, BTW.)
Thing is, the price I paid was £114.95. The price on the coat now shows as: 'Introductory price £99.27, QVC price £110.75'.
Now, I might put this down to the vagaries of the exchange rate, but wouldn't you expect the price to be more rather than less, given the state of the pound?
So what was I paying before? An introductory price that was MORE than the QVC price? Somehow, I don't think so. I think they've changed the price for subtle commercial reasons. But isn't it dishonest (and possibly illegal?) to alter the Introductory price like this?
I'm puzzled and rather cross.
