    5 Stars No end of bargains 08/06/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages cheap

    Disadvantages Disadvantages slow

    I like a bargain. I like my money to go as far as it possibly can. When I go shopping I look in all the cheapest shops. I like shops, which sell things for no more than £1. I like shops, which call themselves bargain basement or the like and are. I like shops whose aim is to pile 'em high and sell 'em cheap. My favourite bookshops sell returns. I am a bargain hunter. When I look at shopping sites on the internet I usually think that I can buy that cheaper elsewhere and do not bother especially when postage has to be added. This is not the case with Halfpriceorless.com. I first went to this ... more

    Advantages Advantages Every product is available at half price or less, good and fast service

    Disadvantages Disadvantages OPayment options a little restrictive, pages can be slow loading

    Halfpriceorless.com is a British website (part of the TJ Morris Ltd retail group) that offers you a variety of goods, promising to save you big money by charging, at most, half the recommended retail price on every item. The home page is simple and uncluttered and gives a brief introduction to the company and the sorts of items they can provide. When you click on the main doors on the home page, you are shown all the main shopping departments and the ‘shop assistant’ Helen gives you help and advice on how to shop. There is also a useful search box to track down any particular items ... more

    Half price or less? It must be rubbish! How can they do it? Is it for real?

    5 Stars Everything really is half price or less 25/02/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Good range of products, cheap prices

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Slow to load sometimes.

    This site was recently runner up in one of the web awards for shopping websites and this was certainly well deserved, in my opinion A smiling drawing of Joe Morris, the e-commerce director of halfpriceorless.com, greets prospective customers to this site. Halfpriceorless is part of the TJ Morris retail group which has over 60 stores throughout the UK and employs more than 1,000 people. The text on the homepage says that they sell a wide range of branded goods and make the promise that everything they sell is half or lower than the recommended retail price. You have to click on the front door ... more

    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Some excellent products at good prices, customer service

    Disadvantages Disadvantages some tacky items around

    I visited halfpriceorless.co.uk after seeing it listed in the Christmas shopping section and very surprised I was! I thought it was going to be a badly designed site with a few tacky bits and bobs to buy and not much more. I was totally wrong. Halfpriceorless has quite a lot of decent products for you to buy at either half price or less, hence the name. The Site is very easy to use. All the sections on the site (food, clothing, home etc) are all arranged into aisles, just like shops. Click on an aisle and you will get all the sub sections laid out across the top of your window. The products ... more

    4 Stars The prices are shockingly low 05/06/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Bargins galore

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Site is slightly tacky in design

    I came to this site purely by recommendation by Moose from Ciao. It was the cheap sun protection creams that got me interested. So whats so great about this site? Well the prices are fantastically low - high street names at half price of what the big retailers charge. The Website itself is designed in the style of a department store and when you enter you are invited to come in to the store. Once inside you can choose which department you wish to visit. You can go to Health & Beauty Clothes & Fashion Pets & Household Special Offers Food & Drink Children In each of these sections there are ... more

    5 Stars Half price in money, but double in value. 04/04/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages See text.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages See text.

    Half-price or less have you heard of them? Well let me explain if you haven’t, Half-price or less is an online service that supplies goods at exactly half price or less. Set up in Blackpool (I believe?) and getting hugely successful it was decided to extend on to online ordering as business was doing so well. And thank-goodness they did. Half-price or less is a fantastic find and although like everything has some tacky items, the majority is good, honest items that we use everyday at bargain prices! I took the time out to write down some of the prices in each categories but as there are ... more

    5 Stars The name says it all 11/08/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap prices, no struggling home with your purchases.

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Buy now - if not it will probably be gone

    I first found out about halfpriceorless.com when our local store changed its name and put the .com on the end. I decided to take a look and was very impressed. As the name suggests, their prices are half or less than the normal price you would expect to pay for the same product in a normal shop. (Or half the recommended retail price.) The range on the Internet is much wider than the range in the high street shop, but still has the same great service. The Carriage charge is about £3.99 however many items you order, but if you order larger items, they reserve the right to alter the shipping ... more

    5 Stars More Bargains than you can wave a stick at 12/06/2001
    User recommends the product

    Advantages Advantages Cheap Goods - Cheap delivery

    Disadvantages Disadvantages Stock changes daily - so buy it now!

    Halfpriceorless.com has all the excitement of a car boot sale; bargains galore and you never know what you are going to find! Their goods cover a wide range, from food, clothing, watches, medical, personal care, condoms, household and electrical and they seem to change their stock and update the site daily. How do they sell for half price or less? Their stock is sourced from bankrupt stock, short-dated goods (eat it within a week or two of it being delivered), production over-runs, etc. Most seems to be UK-sourced, but I noticed a Kellogg’s cereal from France (with a sticker with the ... more
