Stocks are store-specific, and there are only a handful of units left across the UK. Worse still, the Sainsburys site has no real-time stock checking, so it will let you order the item if there aren't any in your area.
Then, to add insult to injury, if you haven't unticked the "no substitutions" box, they will arrive with an alternate drive and try to charge you £100+.
But if you have ticked the "no substitutions" box, they just won't bother even turning up - they just cancel the order without even telephoning or emailing you.
Loads of us got stuffed by Sainsburys with this offer last week.
Just up a heads up people, according to Sainsbury's their website has been having problems and the voucher discount hasn't been applied to some orders. Check your online account to see if you have been charged the right price, if not give them a call and they'll issue you with a gift card or something.

Mine arrived tonight, driver even called and asked if he could come earlier than expected
Faultless service for me :smiley:

As mentioned before... the substitute policy just lets you down right at the point of delivery!
Last time this came around... my delivery driver was clever enough to ring all the customers beforehand, telling us about the substituted products, as he said lots of people had order this and got substituted. He gave the option to reject the delivery. Saved both his and my time/effort/money.

Yep, This happened to me on the last HD deal like this with a code. The code then was for first time online orders and now, because Sainsburys think I have used the code (but i find buy anything because it wasn't in stock) i have to argue to be able to use it again as it now thinks I am an online grocery customer. I am far from pleased about this.

OP didn't mention that this is for new customers only. I get message "Code SCSETNFBM is for 1st-time shoppers only". Cold!

Seems there is some stock for C&C but not in my nearest stores (I clicked on "switch to C&C" at the checkout)

Yep. That's normal, and we all did it last week - just look through the thread I linked to, especially the last couple of pages.
However, don't be surprised if they don't turn up at your scheduled delivery time. If your local store doesn't have this in stock, they will just cancel the order without telling you.
But good luck, and I genuinely hope you get one.

Not available for home delivery, if it is for you then make sure you select "no substitutes"! Click and collect may be possible for some, not for me. All stores were too far away.
