TheHacker

Don't know if this has been posted already.

I received my Staples mail order supplies catalogue, on the front was this offer for a Deluxe Digital Display Desktop Radio - FREE with ANY order!!

I have just ordered a ruler (108639) for 29p, the total came to £3.69
Order went thru alright.

Try it out - you may even get it for less!
It looks good.

According to the website, you have to spend £80 to get the radio.

BTW, it's NOT a DAB radio, it's a digital scan radio. They're taking a bit of a liberty there, implying it's a digital DAB radio

I am talking about a totally different offer.

It's not shown on the website - NO minimum spend required.
Radio has a digital "Display" with date, temperature, calendar and time.

Got my "lovely" ruler today - Yippee!
Only problem was - NO Desktop Radio. :mad:

Had to phone customer services who apologised and promised to send Free Radio by tuesday.
Here's keeping my fingers crossed.

Anybody else ordering , watchout - staples are cheeky.
Good Luck...

Looks like a really nasty cheap thing which will no doubt sound just as bad as it looks - hardly worth chasing up.

We had one of these at work when they were doing them before. Just chucked it (year end clearout). The reception wasn't great and a really tinny sound.

Viking do much better freebies. Got a decent Alba CD/radio player which we use every day in the office (thanks to post on M.S.E.).

I can't imagine anything like that will be particularly good at all, to be honest! Useful during power cuts though, assuming it's battery operated.
