Mothercare slashes prices even further in final 'everything must go' closing down sale

Collapsed babywear retailer Mothercare has launched a huge half price warehouse clearance as part of its 'everything must go' closing down sale.

Parents can bag up up to 50% off strollers and pushchairs, and 30% off all furniture, plus further reductions in its 'Black Friday 'clearance.

The chain kicked off its warehouse sale on November 11, after announcing it had gone into administration.

All 79 stores are now set to close - however its website is still trading in a last ditch attempt to claw back revenue on unsold stock.

Administrators PricewaterhouseCoopers said customers can expect to find a huge range of discounts and bargains as all stock must go before stores are closed for the final time.

According to store management, stock levels are high as warehouses are cleared, so there is plenty of choice and customers are advised to take advantage of the heavy discounts as soon as possible; some of the most popular ranges may sell out fast.

Some of the top offers include the Genie pushchair, which now costs £190 down from £380.

It's suitable from birth and converts from a pram into a hand carrier, and you can even fit a second seat - which is sold separately - to create a tandem pushchair.

New mums and dads can also save £149.50 on the Journey Chrome Travel System worth £299 in the sale.

The lightweight Jive stroller has also had its price dropped by £19, down from £38, while the Chicco Oh La La stroller now costs £50 in the sale compared to £100.

Mothercare has warned that delays are likely on online orders - however it reassured customers that "all online orders are being processed and delivered".

Gift cards, however, are no longer being accepted, while refunds and exchanges are no longer being issued in stores.

If - and when - the website ceases trading, however, online orders could be placed in limbo.

In this instance, you may be able to get your money back from your card provider through either Section 75 or the chargeback scheme, or other services such as PayPal.

You can find your nearest Mothercare branch here.

The collapse of the 58-year-old chain put more than 2,800 workers out of a job last month.
