@Mark, am just sharing my very amatuer opinion. I think you and me know that line below is somewhat close to BS!..... I can purely speculate further that some staff members are in on the deals therefore overnight when the printing of the advert went on in media houses, the deals were already done. Come following morning, all those who bought large quantities have just to complete formalities i.e goto that particular branch, pay cash in large sums and carry off the goods. You see the problem is speculation just continues because now there is a tiny level of distrust in such a large company. So the next time they run an offer, for the average buyer it will mean panic buying while for some of us, we will not even notice the offer. Safaricom has to come clean on the issue but until an investigation of its offer transactions is done, no matter what it said it cannot come out of this problem with a smile. An example of month end special offers : My car needed new tyres and I called all dealers to get prices. Kingsway and another are running a special Easter offer. The tyre size that I was looking for had a 30% discount on it. It took me almost 2 weeks to decide on the offer, since I was looking at replacing 4 tyres. When I paid them, they still had the tyres in stock and I was well aware that the offer was on a timeline so the usual case of first come first served basis applied. Corrections welcome. Rgds.
