Can it-direct site be trusted?

Creamy Goodness

i'm looking to buy a Microsoft IntelliMouse Optical v1.1 4 Button - Single OEM

off them, should they be in stock. they're only 32 euros compared to 39 on komplett not to mention komplett's delivery charge.

i'm ringing them on monday to find out but would anyone here know off hand?

ah sure give it a go. its insured anyways

Creamy Goodness

hopefully they'll have them i'm after two of them if they do (one for back up, as they are great mice for games)

i can't justify buying from komplett at the moment with their shoddy dhl prices and gls will take three weeks to arrive with them

The IT Direct website cannot be trusted. The prices and stock are not updated regularly at all on the website so your best bet is to ring them up and ask if it's in stock and how much it is

Yup. Its been a bag of spanners ever since they put it up. Dunno why they bother. They should just put their address and phone number up on one splash page and dump the rest. Its accurate and half of it doesn't work.

i don't think that they hold much stock in hand... basically, you have to ask for what you want, they'll get it ordered... if u drop by at the shop, it's small and not much you can browse... would say i enjoy going to peats instead... correct me if i am wrong...

Quite often the labelled price on the items is also wrong - which I would imagine is very naughty from a consumer legislation point of view. The thing you have to do is try and roughly calculate the difference at the till (notably when there are a number of items incorrectly priced) and see if you're ahead or not - and then decide whether to complain

... and agree with Richardo, the website is pointless.

well i'll give them a ring but if it's not successful does anyone else know where i could bag two of these mice in town, or and websites? (except komplett)

ahh well i rang them this morning, they have none in stock
