Again: Lidl offer lets parents rage - "Borders on deception"

An offer from Lidl is once again causing a stir.

Many parents are angry because the product being advertised is not available.

Munich - For the second email in a short time, the discounter Lidl caused displeasure among many parents.

As early as the end of February, mothers and fathers were upset on the Facebook page that rain and mud clothing for children were on offer, but the products in the branches were quickly sold out or not even available.

Lidl: Again anger about the offer - parents angry about the outdoor kitchen

New month, old problem: Since Monday, March 8th, there is a new offer for children that Lidl is promoting on its website.

This time a wooden play kitchen with a chalk board was offered.

As with the last offer, many parents were enthusiastic and wanted to make their children happy with the outdoor kitchen.

But on Monday the disappointment followed for many in the branches of the discounter: As with the mud clothing, the play kitchen was almost impossible to get.

Again, the parents vented their anger on Facebook: “Why are there offers in the brochure that are not available in the store anyway ???

Today mud kitchen, 4 branches in 2 districts left.

The same was with the mud pants.

It's not great advertising for you. "

As a result, a mother could not even give her child the desired birthday present: “We went through a total of 9 branches.

There was nowhere the desired mud kitchen for a birthday.

What a shame! "

Many customers also complained that the wooden play kitchen could not be bought online.

Sometimes not even the product was delivered on site, as one angry parent writes: “As of today, the children's outdoor kitchen should actually be available in the branches.

However, none of the branches have received any goods / for sale?!?

We were told everywhere that no goods had arrived.

We drove to or called 6 branches.

How can that be?!?

Borders on deception, I only say decoy offers .... "
