Megadrop madness (litteraly) situp channels

Options
Dear money saving experts, as many of you are aware situp channels run a promotion called megadrop madness

for years internet users have been allowed to buy megadrop items via there website using a valid way of bidding

however this is no longer the case and situp channels have taken the bad decision to close the website from buying items which go for £1 and they are now forcing you to buy such items via the phone only despite telling you to place pre bids on there days listings via the website

I feel cheated by this decision as I do not think web buyers should be allowed to buy nearly all other items via the website yet get blocked from buying products this way as and when it suits them

Surely web buyers have the same rights as phone customers to buy megadrop items?

Some disabled customers cannot use the phone to buy items yet are now being cut off from a way they have found invaluable of buying items via the situp channels websites due to the odd greedy user buying more than 1 of the same megadrop item using their found advantage

Surely they cannot allow 2 ways of buying items usually and then block 1 way of buying as and when it suits them, any item which is shown on air should be shown/allowed to buy via their websites

The buyers who need punishing/blocking are the ones who are using the system by buying more than one of the same megadrop as I feel it should be 1 item per megadrop per household as determined by your adress/i.p adress/phone number
:(

The situp company have made me very angry with their current decision having been with the company for many years remainding a loyal customer and as a regular buyer if this decision is not reversed then I will be left with no choice but to leave the sit-up company as I feel cheated by them and I feel that they are dictating to me as and when I can buy certain items via their website and it makes me strongly feel as though they only want me to use their website to buy certain products

    there is software for disabilities to help those people who cannot use phones some people are unable to hold them etc, the post was reposted under here due to it being previously in the wrong section

    mse back me up PLEASE a company CANNOT legally tell you to get in on their web site on their days listing via the website and then block you from doing this when it suits them!

    Of course they can, as long as it does not affect your statutary rights.

    They cant! a statutory right is companies cannot false advertise, hence they cannot say bid/buy online on all of our days listings and then say you cannot

    surely people realise i am for the company in some ways, they need to do something, but this is not the way

    they need to block the people who buy more than 1 of the same item etc, thats is fair everyone gets a fair chance to buy, if they need to regulate/block the web they need to regulate the phones, as there is at least 2 ways i know of how to use the phone system, but i would not do so as i am a genuine buyer and i am happy just like the current few grredy buyers should be with getting 1 of each megadrop should they wish, not more than 1 etc as they are obviously doing it to sell them on unless they live in some sort of cinema/jewellery house etc

    by starting this page I wanted was to give people the right to show there upset with the companies decision a right I should have

    I have contacted the company they have no plans to reverse their decision so I am voicing my right for hopefully them to see and listen to on a public forum!

    It is not right that something that has been the norm for years has suddenly been taken away from us and they then expect people to just take it or not be allowed to voice there upset

    there are disabilities out there that cannot use a phone etc yet can use a web site and it is bad they have taken their only right away

    the whole idea of this site is that it is a way for people to stand up for their rights not to be downgraded during the process so please the people who just say leave it, be fair thankyou

    Take your business elswhere, there are plenty of retailers who will be glad of your business.

    I might add I still don't understand what the problem is.

    You were asked for a link.

    That's just the first step in trying to help you.

    Believe it or not, there are a lot of people, me included, who don't know what you are talking about.
    If you were to supply a link, then people could look at the website and hopefully better understand your problem.

    You never know, people might be able to help then.

    But if you just want to rant... you're on the wrong board. :beer:
