24 hours to get back to me :disappointed:

call them, they supposedly have a no question approval today from an earlier post on here

No, but

"Thank you for your email.

Unfortunately, here at JohnLewis.com, we deal with online price matching for items purchased through the website rather than in store price matches - this has to be done via your local branch. At present, the policy is the same for both John Lewis branches and johnlewis.com however there are slight differences as to how this policy is applied.

For example, although a competitor must trade on a like for like basis with John Lewis as a whole, johnlewis.com only has access to the competitor's online stock availability and not the stock availability of the items in store.

It is for this reason, that we recommend that you pursue a price match through your local branch. John Lewis is more than happy to match with competitor Tesco, but if a product, such as the Apple iPad mini 2, Apple A7, iOS, 7.9", Wi-Fi, 32GB, Space Grey, is available to purchase in store only via Tesco, our Partners in store are in a better position to assist you with your query.

This process is called Local Price Matching, which can be done through your local John Lewis branch.

To do this you can visit your local branch or alternatively call one of our branch advisors in your local store who will be happy to help you process this price match.

Whichever of these options (by calling or visiting the branch) is best for you, we can still arrange a delivery for you to your home address if it would be more convenient for you.

Please do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of any more assistance."

Just got one from Weston Favell Northampton if you fancy a bit of a drive!!

they had 2 silver and 2 grey when I rang. I just bought a grey so potentially still 3 left??

Central call centre (in Cardiff I think) checked local store stock for me. Said it's pretty much real time (rather than last nights stock position). I did ring my local store but the call diverted. If you can find a central number they may be more helpful!

U can return within 30 days even if have opened it. Just checked this with Tesco

I've just picked one up in Bradley Stoke, they still had a few left they said, hope that helps

Asda ones were 16gb version, I got one and happy being on the dark side

how did you proce match to bring the proce down ?

Do you know if they had any left ?

Thx just bought at tesco direct for £189

Thanks - just put in a price match request with john Lewis - 2 yr guarantee sells it!

The Verizon's offer Is $99 but only if you also pay $16.66 a month for sim. So total cost is $399.99
Presumably plus local sales tax.
