What's going cheap, nearly half price, lots of items

Options
Hi, just bought loads of stuff from this site. They sell argos items for half price. I needed a cordless hedge trimmer, in Argos it's over £24 but here it's £12. Free p&p if you spend £30, otherwise I think it's over £4.

No reliance should be placed on the above.

    I didn't see that. I did see that most things (from a bluetooth headset to a microwave oven) are assessed as weighing 2kg for which the shipping charge is £7.82 plus VAT and you need to be at home to receive delivery. Anyway you have to register to check final postage and I wasn't going to do that.

    Hi I ordered 5 items from these on wed with free delivery and it turned up today brilliant, all items are excellent no bits missing and looks like they are in original packaging well impressed hope others got some bargains.
  • I ordered a couple of table lamps yesterday and they arrived this morning.

    However, they were clearly returns: they box was in a poor state, the lampshades were broken and they smelt like they'd been stored in a damp cave for 30 years (so bad I've put them out in the garage).

    Maybe I've been unlucky - the interesting test will be getting them to collect.

    UPDATE: they've sincerely apologised and refunded my card straight away. Therefore, superb service but with the risk of getting damaged returns I guess.
  • I ordered some stuff from this website and it arrived yesterday. Very quick delivery (next day) but 2 items were broken, and 1 item was incomplete.
    I was a bit cheesed off to be honest, I expected the items to be returns, but sorted returns which were new or as good as new. I sent an email to their customer service and I have to say that aftersales is fantastic. She ended up refunding the whole order so I am well chuffed getting a cross cut shredder and a paper trimmer for nothing. I was not going to use this company again after recieving damaged goods, but after my experience with the customer service and the assurance it shouldnt happen again I will definately shop there again.
    Below is a copy of the email sent to me.

    Dear John,

    The items are checked but I have a couple of new people here this month
    who's item's can't be getting checked properly.
    I have been over to them every day this week with problems and am sure
    that thing's will now improve considerably.
    The nature of what we do here is sometimes difficult to convey to new
    staff as a lot of items require common sense and a sense of pride in the
    work produced.
    The items should be as good as new if not brand new otherwise they
    should not send them over for the website.

    Our electrical items are pat tested and checked by a qualified
    electrician, whose standards are very high, but the less complicated
    item's are tested by general staff.
    We warranty every item for 12 months and so I hope that at least our
    after sales service will keep customer confidence.

    I will resolve all your problems asap by refunding the whole order and
    sincerely hope you will give us another try in the near future.

    Sincere apologies
    Sian
