So to makes sure I understand, you concern is ONLY the use of the words "on
sale" rather than "special bundle price"?

To be clear, there is NOT a new product involved here. All 7 sets are the exact
same things you can buy separately. There is no new packaging, there is no new
product design.
I think we are probably debating minor semantics, really. S@H took a series of
products selling at a certain price, put them together and lowered the price.
That's a sale. The lower price means it's a sale price.
The fact that this "item" has a new "product" number is simply the nature of
selling online - everything needs to be able to be referenced in some way.
I guess I'm just not clear on why on sale and bundle price aren't the same
thing. To reduce something in price, regardless of method of reduction, is (at
least in my personal definition) a "sale".
Maybe we're suffering from simple language differences, I'm not sure. But rest
assured, I have passed this issue along to the S@H EU team and they are clear on
your concerns.
Thanks!
