It certainly didn't. I'd been looking at grabbing the Pussers Nelson's Blood decanter as a present for a friend who is leaving the navy this year so when i saw your post earlier this week I went straight there and secured the said item (plus one for myself as it was a good price:o) I'd just got those in my basket and was looking to grab a few other bargains for Christmas - a Ron Abuelo and maybe somethong else, when the discounts disappeared right before my eyes. So i only came away with the Pussers!

Oh well, thanks for the heads up anyway Gatomalo. I did get a good price on the decanters. You did say it wouldn't last long, just didn't expect it to finish just as i was online.

Their offers usually last no more than a day or two, but to have them disappear mid-purchase is very odd. Let's hope it was nothing more than bad luck (rather than anything sinister).

Most store discounts are on the quantity in stock so it isn't unusual for inventory to disappear while you are online.
I see this regularly while buying airline tickets.
