Just thought i'd let you know, if blacks are fobbing you off then they're fobbing everyone off the same! Just had this email from them. :)

Me too. Am almost tempted to go instore now.... no postage cost!

Fingers crossed they're getting their act together now. Will you let me know when yours comes please?!

I know exactly where you're coming from. One of the frustrating things about ordering online.

It's just occurred to me though, if they're in stock now go outdoors will do a price match... they wouldn't give me one (so to speak) an hour ago as blacks were saying they were out of stock. Maybe give them a call?

I'm happy to stick with blacks now they said I can go instore so i've got that to fall back on.

That would be the obvious solution wouldn't it?!!! Still, looks like they've got them now.

Hmm... I quoted them the price that's on my original order but we didn't get that far in the conversation because of the stock issue.

Mind you, if you ordered yours at the same time as me & got the fathers day £50 off, online now over £200 you get £40 off so it'd only be a tenner more.... maybe worth peace of mind?

Saying that, is it a monty 4 or 6 you're waiting for? They might not have the 6 in stock themselves, I know they had the 4 earlier.

No.... it's not just the tenner difference. The Blacks prices have gone up.

The monty 4 is £214.94 inc delivery now.after the £40 discount

The monty 6 has gone back up to £329 less £40 & £ 5 delivery =£294.94

 when I ordered on fathers day weekend there was an extra 25% off the tents  as well as the £50 discount. The monty 6 was only £200.94 inc delivery when I ordered it.
