点评:I bought a John Hanly throw online from Weavers of Ireland. It was discounted in the January sales, down from €269 to €239 with a whopping further 30% reduction for January bringing the price to an incredible €168! However if you look directly at the John Hanly website you fairly quickly realise that this exact throw - and all throws of that material and size - cost €169! The consumer protection law in Ireland requires that any discount given is a discount from the lowest price that item had been offered for within the previous 30 days. I think it's pretty clearly a scam discount considering the same item is available directly from the manufacturer for the same price - and with free shipping (over €75), which Weavers do not offer. I'll be writing to the consumer protection office, in the meantime - buyers beware! (Oh - and you make your purchase not directly through Weavers but through Shopify so presumably your info is also being sold to a data broker)
