A pre-Black Friday glitch saw Currys offering £289 iPads for a price of just £4 at their checkout on Tuesday night (November 12) and it caused quite the stir amongst its loyal customers.
The glitch occurred as Currys launched its Black Friday offers - two weeks before the official release date, Manchester Evening News reports.
Many customers managed to bag themselves a 9.7 inch Apple iPad (32GB) for £285 cheaper than the retail place by adding the code 'FREECASE' at checkout.
The deal caused some outrage on Twitter.
"Half of Blackpool just got an iPad for under a fiver from curry's. Someone's getting sacked in the mornnnn," wrote one Twitter user.
Another added: "Got my £4 iPad. Cheers guys!"
"An iPad for £4 nice one Curry's," wrote somebody else.
A fourth tweeted, "If currys dont send me my ipad im getting a divorce."
It's not been confirmed whether Currys will honour the price, as some customers are reporting their orders have now been cancelled.
"Mine was an hour away with 20 stops to go and was cancelled and managed to get returned to depot today," said one Currys customer.
"Didn't want that £5 iPad from Currys anyway," wrote somebody else.
Is Currys legally obliged to honour the glitch?
According to Citizens' Advice, if you take an item to the till and are told the price is a mistake, you don't have the right to buy the item at a lower price.
You can ask the store to honour the price but they don't have to.
The same rule applies if you see an item advertised anywhere for a lower price than that on the price tag.
If you've already bought the item, and the shop's sold an item to you for less than they meant to, they're only legally allowed to ask for money back if you'd spoken about price and they ended up charging you much less.
If you realise you've paid more for an item than it was advertised for at the time you can ask the shop to refund the difference.
