Wal-Mart are doing a ps4/Spider-Man combo for 199 bucks in America hopefully Amazon will do something similar

TheChizler · 14-11-2018 1:37pm

Thanks OP, I was planning on getting the Garmin Vivomove HR anyway and it's 24% off!

I've never used the early deals before, are these the same offers that will be on Black Friday? So same price just earlier? Seems like an obvious question but I'm doubting myself.

JJayoo · 14-11-2018 1:38pm

Hopefully sports direct will have a discount code floating around

Well, no. BF offers are going online on 16 Nov as confirmed by the banner on the paged linked by the OP. That said, no one can guarantee your item is going to be cheaper or even still discounted in two days.

That's what I thought but it's allowing me to buy at the reduced price right now, this is from right under the banner:

Amazon have such offers every day, they just rebranded them to lure more customers. If you are happy with the current price, why not pull the trigger now and check the price again in two days? If it gets better you can always refuse the delivery of the first one or even cancel the purchase if it's not been shipped by then.

If it's cheaper in two days, Amazon will refund difference if you ask nicely.

I wouldn't be as brazen as that!

But asking nicely might work as givecredit says.

Worked for Amazon years ago, there used by a policy that if you bought something and it changed price very close to when you purchased they'd refund the difference or apply a gift card. But it wasn't automatic back then (this is 10 years ago)

BArra · 14-11-2018 6:28pm

I believe they changed policy on refunding difference recently, they now say to return the item you bought at higher price and place new order at lower price

That's my experience recently when I tried to get a refund of the difference

Looking for a deal on the JBL Flip 4 speaker, if anyone spots one

ablelocks · 14-11-2018 7:52pm

just looked back at my orders from last year - most of the stuff I got was actually on the warehouse deals...

Do they have decent warehouse discounts during Black Friday sales?

Today was a bad day for the wallet. Darn you OP!

Aye.

The extra 20% off warehouse stuff is the one to go for....if they do it again!

They select the boxes to suit the van is what I've heard.
So if the boxes are fit tight into the van, nothing can move and be damaged.

I have had a look at our local Amazon.de in anticipation of this again but the prices seem off the wall for anything I looked at this time even with 20% off

pajoemccracken · 15-11-2018 9:37am

Honor 9 lite is now £120.
Great budget phone with Face ID and fingerprint sensor on back. I bought two previously. One for my son and one for mother in law.
Great for the money.

They haven't been doing this in a while now. They tell you to buy the cheaper one and refuse delivery of the first one.

Well, lucky you anyways. At least last year, the warehouse deals -20% promo went online at the same nominal time across Europe, so one hour later in UK than everywhere else. By the time it launched in UK, all items I was interested in were gone already, as they must have been available on all their sites.

For any runners out there - GBP100 off the new Vivoactive 3 Music: http://amzn.eu/d/7D6z9qb

Been watching this for a while. Some great reviews. Great balance between every day smart watch and fitness watch.

Cheapest it's been - not even updated on CCC yet.

Been watching this as well so thanks for the heads up. Interestingly, if I choose my Parcel Wizard UK address the price stays at £199, with £0 delivery, but if I choose my home Irish address the price changes £204.99 but the delivery stays at £0. So they are making it look like free delivery but actually loading the delivery cost on the product. How sneaky is that!

Not sneaky at all.

They apply Irish VAT rates.

Anyone buying electronics off the warehouse or is better to just buy new?

The monitors will be cheap but no good if it has to be returned

I've been fixated on getting the Vivoactive 3 for a long time. I got the original Vivoactive for £99 on black friday a few years back. The only thing that puts me off is the screen. It still looks just as poor as the original did with the backlight. Decisions decisions.

What's the return policy like with warehouse stuff? Can you return without issue (or cost) like a normal product or is it harder?

It's easy to return. Normally they'll offer for you to return for full refund or keep for X refund.

It was the exact same for me. Iv bought 2 times from warehouse deals and I had to return 1 item. I ordered that item to Parcel Motel so I even asked them if they could issue the return label from Ireland so I got an An Post label and returned for free.

Thomyokk · 15-11-2018 2:16pm

I'm all set with my new account and free prime

Will top up the gift card later,it's better for changing your mind in a hurry

SachaJ · 15-11-2018 3:24pm

Any idea does the Warehouse 20% kick off at 12am tonight?

Can't remember what they do for Black Friday. Might be 20% off select items whereas the January sales is usually 20% off everything.

20% off everything I'd say

I had a 49" lg monitor bought last year for about 230 Euro,I changed my mind and cancelled it .

Wbd1989 · 15-11-2018 3:49pm

Need to buy a Nintendo Switch, any thoughts if a console only offer will appear? There's a bundle available but both games are not on the list... or is this generally how console deals are offered.

user1842 · 15-11-2018 3:52pm

Google store US will have great deals starting tomorrow.

Does anyone know will the same deals be in their IE store?
