Just ordered 12 + 12 free pack of Kodak AA batteries. Price is £3.99 but enter code 071115OFF for 15% off which takes them down to £3.40 which will work out at less than €4. Free delivery btw.

They also have a reasonably priced gaming/music headset for £2.99 (less 15% with code)

Edit: The discount code only applies to orders up till midnight tonight, Sunday afaik.

I bought off them twice before. First time I had no problems and the second time the order arrived in 2 lots about 2 weeks apart but they emailed in advance saying they didnt have one of the items in stock. So all in all I had no real problems with them.

manutd · 07-11-2009, 13:43

I too had no problems with them, used three times.

Just had a look at those reviews and see they are all 16 months+ old.

By all means avoid the site if you are not comfortable with it.

looks good to me. time will tell.

Also at MX2 - No 15% voucher code unfortunately - but I've never had any problems with them so may be worth the little bit extra for peace of mind

Yes indeed. Another good site that I have dealt with in the past and had no problems with either.

As I said above - whatever people are more comfortable with.

Bought these Kodak batteries a few times before, last time they didn't even turn the camera on. Batteries are one thing that are a waste of time if you get cheap ones.

Don't know really, just that these didn't work for me but I haven't tried other Kodak batteries.

On the quality - I've got the AAA's before and found them OK - prob not as good as duracells but OK for most light/medium use

peckerhead · 09-11-2009, 10:19

Yup, same here, except "ETA: 3-5 working days"

I wonder what happens if you order from the normal MX2 website?

**muffler** · 09-11-2009, 10:30

Has anyone noticed that the 2 emails that were quoted above and apparently from 2 different companies are both identical - almost

Its a bit like the Asda/Hut/Zavvi/Sendit set up. Same people different names.
