Cheap Hard drives from Shop Neo -Just REDUCED again

Comments

  • I'm so confused over this site now.

    I ordered some of the blank DVD-Rs posted the other day on here. They arrived less than two days later in perfect condition, great price, friendly welcome email from them. Was actually thinking of using them more often as the service I'd received was good.

    I need an extra hard drive for an upgrade and was just about to have a look on there when seeing this thread.

    It's like we're talking about two different companies between now and the other day with this thread:

    ::Yawn:: Maybe moneysaving isn't for you...


    Moving on - I *do* think the internet sometimes gives a warped view of reality when people are able to voice their opinions. For instance holiday reviews are often only initiated by those who have had a bad experience. The hundreds who have had a good experience are too busy getting on with their life to write about it, but often will respond when a bad experience is posted. So one, or even a set, of bad reviews does not, for me, constitute a dire warning. I am just more careful, and only spend what I can afford to lose...

    The confusion is caused by shopneo not being as well known as the likes of svp and Co. so there are some reservations about using an unknown company. I know I am always the same, when I started buying from svp i checked them out as much as possible and I did the same with shopneo, unfortunatly shopneo hasnt really been talked about on the web as much as the other disk companies. I dont know if thats a good thing or a bad thing, people only talk about things if they have a problem if everything goes ok then they don't normally tell the world as that is the way it should be. (EDIT: just like smokieUK says)

    Maybe everyone who has bought from them and been happy with the service, goods etc should spread the word about shopneo to help others decide if they are worth buying from.

    No problems here either. Just received 100 DVD-Rs after just 2 days of ordering, nicely boxed and packaged. Very efficient service, no complaints at all.

    Don't see what all the fuss is about??? :confused:
    If you want to order something from them 'cos you think it's cheap then do it. If you think it's too expensive then don't!!! As simple as that.

  • Shopneo is owned by the guy who runs https://www.digital-forums.com, you can browse some sections of the forum and registration is free.
    The shop and the forums have been around for years and I would be happy to buy online from them.

    I bow to your [sarcasim]superior[/sarcasim] moneysaving knowledge. If it was a scam (it appears that it isn't) then it wouldn't be moneysaving now would it??? vicious-smiley-1759.gif

    I'm not sure anyone is doubting that the company employs friendly staff and is capable of delivering the correct goods when ordered. What's at issue is the possibility that they are asking 'stooges' to 'big them up' on forums, have advertised their own deals surreptitiously elsewhere (proven on above link ?) and the language of the OP here being very marketing-hype-esque on the three occasions he has posted deals about this company.
