Prices displayed are correct at time of entry, and what the law calls an "invitation to treat". You cannot insist that a shop sells you anything at a marked price, whether or not they have made a mistake. Under the law, the retailer can decide the amount they want to charge for goods.

Visit http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/advice/consumer-advice.cfm for more information from Trading Standards.

If by mistake we have under-priced an item, we will not be liable to supply that item to you at the stated price, provided that we notify you before we despatch the item to you.

If you decide not to order the item, we will give you a full refund on any amount already paid for that item per our refund policy.
