I wanna buy an Ipad

chelmsfordgirl1

Hi all,

As the title says, I am looking for an Ipad for a xmas present.

Does anyone know of any deals around (don't really want to spend £400 on it)

Thanks

If you want apple products then you have to pay apple prices as no legit versions are discounted.

i just bought one on line yesterday through Tesco black 16gb wifi £399.00 but they have £20 off at the moment on all electrical items when you spend over £200 so i got it for £379.00 with free p&p untill end Nov.

if you order before 3pm you get next day delivery i didnt order till after 3pm so its due tomorrow.

i would add ive been trawling the net for weeks as its a gift for my dd for christmas there is one cheaper on the auction site but i wouldnt spend that kind of money on there.

m&s are doing same price £399 but with 2 yrs warranty as has bee said they seem to only be sold at the same price everywhere.

They're not really discounted anywhere. Your best bet is a voucher such as the Tesco one that hmo has mentioned or cashback - Viking pay 9% through Quidco, which swayed me to buy an iPad from them recently. Cashback tracked no problem, so I'm hopeful there should be no issues in getting the money back.

i looked at the viking deal of 9% but when i read the small print it said it was only 2.2% on apple products and the item was out of stock but i think that was through top cash back.

as far as i am aware you get the cash back off the item price before vat which would be £30 and i assume quidco will take a commission is it £5 so net would give you £25?

how long do you have to wait to get that back?

ive never used sites like that before, i got my £20 off instantly with tesco.

would be interested to know for future purchases

it depends on retailer but cashback on quidco usually takes anywhere between 3 weeks and 3 months to be paid

hmo

ok thank you i will remember that for future.

ordered my ipad2 on tuesday afternoon it was delivered this morning, could have had it yesterday if i had ordered before 3 on tuesday but i still think 2 days is great service.

opened and installed updates and apps and some music all appears fine have now put it away as its a christmas present for my dd.

It's ironic beause you're on a money saving forum. iPads, to my knowledge, don't do anything useful. they created a use for themselves that doesn't, IMHO, add to quality of life.

I'd spend that 400 on a vacation or something that would enhance your everyday life.

EDIT: I'm not trying to be mean, I'm just trying to mention that in a few weeks after buying your iPad there's a high chance you'll forget about it and the buzz will be gone. I've learnt this from experience (friend bought one)
