in It's gone, but was it any good?
Hi,

http://www.aria.co.uk/Specials.asp

Currently 15 left, although they tend to bump their stock back up at the start of each day.

I bought one of these yesterday and got it delivered this morning - I paid about £5 more though, and I thought it was a bargain then!

Having played with the device I can say that it works well - you get a battery, combined earphones/lanyard and a USB extension cable.

Notice also that on this page they are selling 4 * AAA batteries for £0.01!! I bought some of these too - can't be bad!

Cheers,

JoshM

(original spot yesterday at higher price came from a poster on RPoints)

    While you're there and paying for the postage, you might as well get some of their 1m scart to scart leads at 25p each in the 'deal for today' section. And you can buy as many as you like at that price.

    Great bargain, although I had to pay for parcel farce delivery for some reason - which knocked my order up to just under £20. Ah well - hardly as killer!!!

    Thanks man!

    Trying to charge me £6.95+VAT delivery using CityLink. Good bargain, but I don't want to pay just as much for the delivery as I do for the item itself.

    I should clarify that my quoted price includes a £2.99 postage charge. That's what I paid yesterday. I paid about £16 for the player but it's now dropped to about £10. So perhaps they have dropped the price of the unit but are insisting on expensive (£6?) delivery? If so it's a bit sneaky but I'm still happy with the overall deal, especially since you can bung in some other bargains (batteries, scart leads etc).

    Why couldn't I find this item? This would be great as an easter present for the kids.... I found the batteries, but not the mp3 player

    Any product code or help... please?? (really don't want to miss this one)

    Its almost at the bottom of the specials page on the left hand side. Just keep scrolling down and you'll see it. It has a price of £10 ish ex vat, or £11.50 ish inc VAT. But keep your eye on the postage charges!

    Down toward the bottom of the page on the left. Be advised that they seemes to have changed their delivery strategy though - are now charging almost £7 by the sound of it. Although if you get more than one unit it lessens the blow...

    If you read the rules, you can only order one unit of each special item per order. So if you wanted 2 MP3 players you would have to place 2 orders.

    It also looks as if the postage charge varies depending upon the delivery location (or that's what it says somewhere on the site...question is do I believe them?)

    Additional information about the unit - it's not exactly as it appears in the picture (although it's pretty close). The more expensive (highter capacity) units have the capability to display ID3 tag info on the screen. This one just shows the track number.

    Cheers for the help. I found it (not used that site before) but I'm now having a problem trying to order 2 of the mp3 players, and 2 lots of batteries. It's only letting me have one of each, and if I add more, then it either doesn't register, or charges me full price for the second one. Is this normal for this site, or should I just accept that I am dumb and doing something wrong!!!
