As above. The t&cs state they must honour online price but doesn't stipulate whether its at the time of collection or reservation. Im sure the halford boffins will clock this soon. I'll keep you posted tomorrow.



[edit] got mine today cheers

Reserved...I'll update on weather its all good tomorrow.

This said in general some of their online deals are unbeliveable...i.e buy a tool chest in store for £150. Reserve it online first, get the tool chest & a set of halfords advanced screwdrivers for £78...Full of win,

[Richtea]

Great spot, reserved for later pick up if they honour it.

Thanks a lot!

Sorry to be a naysayer, but the book covers how to insure your bike, what to look for, for the mot. All that information's available online anyway?

I see the one for my bike is still 24.99

[Polarbear]

Good shout.

For a quid each I've reserved the motorcycle one and the adventure one.

Thanks Flip. I ordered the adventure book.

Once when I ordered some indicators on Halfords they didn't have the specific ones in stock despite it saying they were in stock on the website, but they rang to let me know straight away and offer me a slightly different set (and they still honoured the cheaper online price).

Reserved the 3 I want at my local, will go collect em after lunch and update what they say.

Though seeing as I work in retail, and will take the website on my phone quoting "The price you see is the price you pay, even if it is cheaper than in store!". Im pretty sure I wont get questioned.



EDIT: Just had a courtesy call from Halfords to say the books are ready for collection.

Got mine too Sending the missus over to collect...

Looks like they're clearing out old stock that never gets sold - might be a bit of a bad sign ie. they're pulling even further away from bikes?

Result !!

Reserved the Motorcycle book and Adventure Motorcycling from a local store.
Got a text a minute later (sometimes technology is spooky!) with a reservation number.
Tootled straight down to the store.
Gave the bint behind the counter my reservation number and she went and fetched 'em.
Total price = £2.

No signs in store to say they were reduced and the original price stickers are still on both books.
The Motorcycle Book - £17.99
Adventure Motorcycling - £19.99

[Paris2]

So, I have just got back from my local Halfords.....

Just reserved and collected the one you linked to, they honoured the £1

The look of surprise on the checkout woman's face when the price showed up as a quid

A word of warning on the Adventure Motorcycling book is that it's very basic. For a quid I can't complain but it's more like a very basic introduction for the complete noob.

[Mikey3]

I got 'the motorcycle book' thinking ah its only a quid.

Turns out after a flick through its bloody fantastic! pretty much answers most of the commonly asked questions on here in new bikers and the workshop, and a bit more.

Genuinely chuffed & suprised, thanks

Mike
