    Very seem to have very bad reviews on trustpilot but maybe its only people who have issues taking the time to review them.

    I ordered last night and got a Royal Mail tracking number at 6:30pm today.

    Was the TV reduced? Have been keeping an eye on that 43" but didn't see it drop.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 15,468 ✭✭✭✭Oat23


    43" Hisense 4k TV - £256
    PS4 slim (500GB) with UC4 & FIFA - £178
    12 month Dramafever renewal for $75 instead of $100 + a free roku stick.
    2 of the 7" fire tablets for €37 each
    Some PS4 games in the flash sale like Skyrim for $27.
    Civlization VI for €16, but apparently this was a misprice and they are going to try to get steam to revoke the key. Pretty sure that's against the law but anyway..

    Unless I come across a good deal for an nvidia shield, I think I'm done now.

    Nada.
    IMHO it's been a crock of sh!t this year.
    Gone downhill each and every year.
    More like Bleak Friday.

    Anyone remember when Amazon used to end the Friday night offers with the console giveaways?
    Those were the "Good old days".

    Using Parcel Wizard helped. Also used paypal with a revolut card.

    Even though i spent more cash this year but bought much fewer items, last year had far better big brand stuff from the likes of Amazon.
    Lots more computer components and accessories,this year its all cheap chinese electronics in the lightning deals.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,629 ✭✭✭Hunchback


    Nearly got a car wash for 2 euro.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 12,680 ✭✭✭✭TheDriver


    Remember 2-3 years ago when Argos etc used to have savage price wars on certain items and websites kept crashing. Onto amazon CS to price match Argos and waiting for a lightning deal to start. Even at god awful hours.
    Also notice no prime only deals this year either, tis like they have all given up on ****e friday

    Was waiting on getting two Nintendo 2DS for kids Xmas pressies and not one single deal I could find.
    Wanting to get a 2ds bundle deal but nowhere had a discount that I could find.
    Checked on UK HD in the search option and they have been a lot cheaper before.
    U think cyber Monday any better for Nintendo consoles?

    Glad its not the 1928-1945 range!

    Check out the history of Boss AG and you might not be in such a hurry to keep buying the products of this company

    Did you know that they designed and produced the Nazi SS uniforms?

    No agenda in this post - just don't feel that this board should be promoting any brands that have such a chequered history... bargain or not!

    Yeah better dump Volkswagen, IBM, Ford and never drink Coca Cola or Fanta again along with never touching any medication manufactured by Bayer along with avoiding Standard Oil. Or use Allianz insurance

    Also don't forget to make sure get people to avoid Chanel and Christian Dior and also stop the ladies buying Louis Vuitton.

    Also make sure to never drive a BMW or Mercedes and chastise any you see doing it.

    If Boss producing uniforms upsets you make sure you dump all phone and computer tech too as a lot of components come from Israeli company's who no doubt had links to government who have not so great times with Palestinians. Oh and dump any of your stuff made in China given its carry on towards it population.

    By the way Hugo Boss is fab ;)

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 5,058 ✭✭✭whoopsadoodles


    My mam was going shopping so I asked her to get me make up. There was 10% off it so I got 2 bottles for €59.40 instead of €66.

    Except I gave her my bank card and told her to buy herself and my nanny lunch. Which she did. With wine.

    So yeh.

    No bargains for moi!

    ****in worth it though. Going out tonight and had no make up. I'd sooner have used emulsion on me mug than gone to the shops this weekend.

    Nothing unfortunately. I was keeping an eye on a The North Face jacket across a few sites but the black Friday sale price was higher than some previous reduced prices on those sites.

    Think I'll grab an Amazon fire tab tonight alright. My last tab, a Samsung tab II, which was also a BA a few years back has gone AWOL. I probably left it in a hotel somewhere.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,991 ✭✭✭sword1


    Nothing, i was watching for psn4 for santy but any of the decent bargains had games for big kids/adults so will wait and see if a suitable bargain is there monday

    If it's the tab I was looking at earlier I'd reconsider... low screen resolution and only 1GB RAM really isn't enough anymore IMO. You want Full HD and 2GB minimum and they don't seem to do their own one in that spec
