    Actually I did read the thread and that's why I used the word else. I was asking for other peoples experience. Can't think what's rattled your cage.

    I have used Bargain crazy before and they are very hit and miss.
    I have placed several orders in the past and not heard a thing, not even a confirmation email - nothing. It was like I hadn't placed an order at all!!
    When I have actually received my order I have had to chase up the discount on more than one occasion.
    In my opinion they are an unreliable company.

    Thanks, I might give this a miss then.

    I must admit for an e-commerce operation I just wish they could apply the discount on the order.

    I placed a large order with the 50% discount code using my debit card. The total amount of the order (i.e the 100% amount) was "pre-authorised" and reduced my available balance. Trouble is it stayed like that for 2 days and left me short of cash.

    At least when the order was processed I was only charged the 50% amount. But it leaves you in a tricky situation if you are placing a larger order.

    I received one item already (very quick) so cannot complain there and as for the other items I can expect to wait 5-7 days which more than fair.

    But again no confirmation email or anything about placing an order. You do get a reference number though.

    All in all it can be very frustrating on the money front though.

    That's not comforting enough I'm afraid.

    Maybe not but it is true never the less.
