I went in to currys today and ended up walking out with one of these http://www.currys.co.uk/gbuk/nikon-af-s-dx-nikkor-35mm-f1-8-g-lens-08160378-pdt.html for £143.99 as there on offer in store under there blue cross sale so have 20% off ticket price.

Great price! Is that 20% of all lenses?

good thing it's not the f2 version I would be very jealous as a Canon user

Now sold out online and not available to reserve in store!

The 20% is not off all lenses, just selected ones. Website says it should take 20% off the displayed price when you checkout but it doesn't.

Well I really don't understand Currys :shrug:

They have made it impossible to phone any of the stores direct to see if they have stock. Instead you get a central number who just repeat the info on the website.

I called to see if there were any available in local stores:

Them: We have none available online and not able to be reserved in store.
Me: I know but before travelling to a store I want to check whether they have some
Them (without even asking which store): They don't, sorry.​

So I decided to pop up to my nearest store anyway. They had 2 in stock :bonk:

They now have 1 in stock

it says you can order online, but the price stays at 179, the oldham store is out, will try bury later today.

The 20% should come off around the 3rd screen of the checkout process, just before you enter payment details.

well, in the end I tried Bury and Blackburn (I was heading that way anyhow) no joy, but they have 7 in there distribution centre to order and that's it for the whole country. Pickup at store.

there are now 6........
