I visited a well known department store yesterday (never knowingly undersold) to look at kettles. I found the one we wanted and went to the till. 'Out of stock', she said, 'You can order it on line or we could do it for you'. 'Can you just order it then?', I asked. 'No', she said, 'We are not allowed to when we are on tills. I could get a colleague to assist.'
'It sounds llike I would be better ordering it myself', I said 'I want it delivered to the shop'. 'You would be better getting it delivered to your house', she said, 'and if you are not in they will leave you a card to allow you to rearrange'.
'If I get it delivered to the shop, will I have to pay a delivery charge?', I asked. 'Yes', she said, 'we can't give away stuff for nothing'. 'Okay then', I said, 'What if I don't order it online and instead request to buy it at the till?. 'You will still have to pay the delivery charge', came the response.
Legal question - are they allowed to display an item that is not in stock and cannot be supplied at the stated price?
Practical answer - she got the figure wrong and there was no charge for Click and Collect at that value.
