check it with them first before you depart. I just had a call from my local store after having everything confirmed that it was ready for collectin on the web and by test, and they told me that there was a mistake and there is none in stock.
I was just about to leave to go to the store when she called.
So might be a good idea to call first and make sure it is there

Just ordered mine, now with the price drop and the 5% discount code - just £42.72. I've given my local store a ring, and they dont have any in stock yet, but they assured me they would very soon, and they'd give me a ring when it's ready for collection.

Ironically enough, I bought an identical looking fully functional third party grip only 3 weeks ago on Ebay for £40 when I discovered the genuine grip had gone up to £160. I was not prepared to pay that much. I've been really happy with it, but I can't let this amazing deal pass me by.

So if you've missed out on this offer thanks to your local Jessops being out of stock and are interested in a hardly used third party grip for £20 let me know.

Just had a look and they are now selling K20D/K10D batteries for £9.97.
The grip has also gone down to £44.97
Oh crap...
I bought my D-BG2 and said no to a battery... I never checked the price ... DOH!

The box was open a worn, but Jessops assured me it was new :/ dunno... At these prices theses grips could be refurbished or demos.

I actually bought to re-sell, but now I dont know... I sure comes in handy for bigger lens...

Hmmm what to do...

The batteries were showing on the Jessops website this afternoon but I've just gone to reserve for pick up tomorrow and they seem to have been removed.

Yup - been looking for the last 15mins. No matter what combination of keywords I can't find them on the website. Wonder if they'll have some in store at the Cardiff branch.

At least I got the order in for the grip I suppose!

Looks like they must have sold out now as I just checked the same place on the website where I found them earlier and they are not their.

well, when I collected my grip at the store the chap said if I ordered online I could get it at the reduced price but then I would have to wait a few days to go and collect it. He said they had stock of them in their head office, but aparently there are none it seems

They later dropped them to £9.97, it was the proper battery. I didn't get one I already have 2 genuine plus 1 cheapy.
