    I'm with Orange for my mobile and their website is always slow.
    The website has nothing to do with the orange mobile phone company.
    It's got a similar look but that's all.

    Ah well, worth a try.

    I wish all of you the best of luck, but I'm just not sure. I even went to order one myself, but when it came to the card details page, I chickened out.
    I feel a Pixmania colour TV moment imminent. However you may be lucky. I really hope you all are. I'm probably just being too sceptical.

    Had a few "Service Unavailable" messages trying to get the things in my basket, but once I went to checkout it all went through no problems. Conf email instant. If they honour it, great, that's Father's Day sorted, if they don't, no sweat, I've not lost anything (once the refund goes through!).
  • Ordered with no problems thanks.

    I didn't follow the above links but went to the Orange home page and followed links from there - so the two must be connected.

    Hope this goes through!

    If you go onto the official orange UK website and choose mobile phones/reconditioned phones it take you to
    http://www.orangeaccessories.co.uk/reconditioned_mobile_phone/all.html
    so if it is not the same company there is a relationship. I have dealt with this company several times in the past and service has previously been good.

    Ive been reading this deal on HUKD for the last hour or so but haven't placed an order as I can't afford to get charged multiple times! Out of curiosity though ... has ANYONE ever ordered from this website before?

    Site is legit ... have ordered a laptop charger from them before without any issues. Was a bargain too :-)

    I ordered just before 8am. I hope this goes through, I've been waiting for a decent sized hard drive at the right price for a while.

    Yeah because it takes the funds, then gives a "Service Unavaliable" :rotfl:
