    Just had a look at that and out of 1000 items that will be sold only 5 are worth more than the purchase price. 5 out of 1000 people will receive either the TV, tablet, Echo, camcorder or iPad if indeed they are to be believed. The other 995 will receive a piece of rubbish such as a power bank, mini drone or earphones with most of those available online for a few euros. Its also a fiver extra for delivery so taking all that into account I'll give it a by.

    From their website .........
    There are 1,000 items available. There is 1 of each of the following items available: JVC LT-40C750, SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab, AMAZON Echo, GOPRO HERO Session Action Camcorder & APPLE iPad Mini. 400 customers will receive a Pebble Ministick Power Bank. 400 customers will receive a Thumps Up Mini Drone, 195 customers will receive Veho Z2 Earphones

    A complete waste of money You're better off sending Stevie Wonder into Dealz with a fiver.

    I ordered their battery deal they had before Xmas, still no batteries & still none the wiser as to if or when I'll get them.
    Absolute joke of a site, would never buy off it again :mad:

    Did you contact them. They have to give you a refund.

    Yeah I've been back & forth with them, the situation is still 'open'

    I've bought stuff from pigsback.ie twice now. First time there was a huge delay. Second time...also a huge delay. I ordered a duvet which arrived about 3 weeks/a month later. It wasn't as advertised so I got back to them and complained. In fairness, their customer service was very quick to respond to me, and kept in constant contact, but it took another month before I got the replacement duvet. They also sent me a refund. Now all of this did require me badgering them for a bit but in the heel of the hunt I now have two duvets and my money back!

    Basically, I'd never again order something from them that I need in a hurry.

    What does "open"mean?

    You open up a ticket (complaint) with them, it stays open until the problem is solved or you close it.

    Thanks for explaining thought it would be as easy as giving a refund and sending on your item as ordered or a substitute item. Seems like a chaotic way to do business and I see Pigsback.com have bought out Dealsrush.ie and Justgolf.ie so must be doing something right. Anyway hope you get sorted.

    Ten to THIRTEEN years old. Can't run recent operating systems or software. Extremely slow on the latest version

    Not a bargain in the slightest, they go for 50 quid on eBay.

    That promotion/competition is finished since the 25th I believe! You can still access the URL to spin the wheel, but I guess that's why the pop-up saying the competition isn't Live is appearing after you win something.
