OCUK stole a penny of me!

kitkat9933 · 21 Jan 2013 at 18:08

Last week I ordered 2 Seagate Barracuda Drives for £99.98 each, which should have been £199.96. I noticed on my card I had been charged £199.97 and to make it worse I didn't even get any free haribos!

Drives in question:

Debit Card Statement:

I demand my 1P be returned right this minute... Thieves!!!

The items are added together ex VAT. Then VAT is added on to the whole order.

The inc. VAT prices on the site are just for your pleasure.

Which makes £199.968 (rounded to £199.97)

boycott the thieves ! We demand his 1pence be returned!

I've started a Facebook campaign.

Clearly drives are £99.9826 each.

But onto the more important no haribo issue, this is indeed a serious crime.

Looks like they use the ex VAT pricing in their calculations so by time they charged you for 2 and added VAT it rounded up to the nearest penny...

EDIT: Beaten

I suggest we boycott OCUK until the 1p is returned or a handsome amount of haribos is payed in compensation.

Yup no 1 penny sweet for you tonight and no haribos either.

I feel for you man

It's actually correct if you work it out. It's to do with the VAT calculation.

SilverTongue · 21 Jan 2013 at 18:17

As has already been said VAT is added to the ex VAT total. Should have made 2 separate orders

rounding up is blasphemy , do you remember the superman movie where they are making millions from the fractions of a cent the banks didn't keep track of?

no wonder ocuk can afford all those haribos!

That 1p is being made into a bullet with your name on it.

kitkat9933 · 21 Jan 2013 at 18:19

Now we know how they really afford the Haribos and make a profit. 1p here and 1p there must add up!

I hope you aren't seriously trying to be helpful with that post.

I think I should take this straight to small claims court with such a large amount in question.

Just to rub salt into the wounds there were two bags of haribo in my delivery from overclockers that turned up last Thursday
