landy - best way to buy

This may be a daft question but how did everybody buy from landy? They have 3 prices for the dress I am after

1) Landy website - 180 euros (£167)
2) ASAP buy it now $248 (£174)
3 ASAP auction £131.99

Now it seems like a no brainer but is there an advantage to buying off the websit rather than ebay?

I probably will buy a jacket and bridesmaid dress from landy too

    You have to watch with P+P, if it's excessive then if you have to return I don't think you could claim for P+P costs. So say the dress is on for £50 + £100 P+P, then they are obviously making money on the postage to make up for the cost of the dress (I'm talking about ebay) but if you have to return then Paypal won't refund postage costs (I think this is how it works but don't quote me - you'd be better asking on the Ebay and auctions board)

    I got mine from her eBay auction and went through quidco to get a little bit more off :D.

    I was outbid initially and had decided to go for buy it now when I received a second chance offer so ended up paying £92 all together.

    Would you be able to get the other stuff from the ebay shop though?I cant see the flowergirl dress I'm thinking of. But then the decision is a bit easier for me, the dress I like is £174 buy it now asap ebay and its only £133 on the Landy website no brainer. If you can get the bridesmaids dress and jacket you want I'm not aware of any other differences.
    Booo!!!

    I bought direct from the website as I didn't want ebay getting in the way, tbh!
  • I brought my dress through ebay and then emailed Simon to add 2 extra flower girl dresses a veil and a petticoat to my order before paying, I wasn't charged any extra for postage so it worked out a really good deal for me. :D:D:D
