The other day I was looking at the adverts I had placed on my own Home Page and one of them was for “Buy.com”, the promotional advert in question told me I would get £10.00 off my first purchase, as long as it was above £20.00, so I took an investigative look and seeing as though ...

YOU NEED IT, THEY HAVE IT.
Review of buy.com by brianlfc

Advantages: Excellent prices, Nice tidy site and fast deliveries.
Disadvantages: None (up to now anyway)

...was delivered, so I’ll give Buy.com a big thumbs up, as you can imagine, seeing as though this was my first purchase, I am not really sure what their after-sale service is like and I’m damn sure there are people reading this say “You’re joking, I had such and such problems with them”, but they do give you an order-tracking option and send you a confirmation Email, which I suppose is good service. Another plus-point ...
...to Buy.com and save yourself the hassle of going shopping, just order at your computer and save a few bob in the bargain, but make sure you look for the promotion adverts or I have a feeling you will miss out on the £15 off voucher, oh well, happy shopping. ... Read review

What a load of .....
Review of buy.com by StreetWise

Advantages: ""
Disadvantages: ""

Buy.com is just another online site that lets you purchase computer goods. I don't find Buy.com to be the best, and much prefer dabs.com. Firstly, prices. Buy.com does not regularly have low prices, and compared to other sites, it's prices can seem very high. So you'd probably get better deals if you shopped about. Next, products. Well, they do stock major new products, like the release of Windows ME. BUT about last month, I was interested in buying ...
...PS/2 - AT adapter from Buy.com for about £2.50, and received it in 5 days time. Guess what?!?!? It came in a HUGE box! The same size used for the paper and Windows ME. It could probably fit a 15" monitor in it if you didn't use any bags or things. The size of these adapters were only about the size of my thumb... I think they could improve, if they haven't already... use an envelope!!! The website is also not so negotioable. There are way too many ... Read review

Good prices are out there...
Review of buy.com by cool_bob

Advantages: Cheap, Cheap, Cheap
Disadvantages: inconsistant standards?

I was introduced to BUY.COM - an online shop specialising in all things electronic/computerish - by a friend at christmas last year. Did i mention that i like him very much now? First off id just like to warn you that Buy.com - like many other online shops that need P&P, is simply not that good for value if you are thinking of buying only a few inexpensive items. For people who want that, just looks in shops - itll probably be the same price as ...
...on your next purchase at BUY.COM - aren't they kind? Last thing - although they have been kind to me, be warned that all online stores have a habit of being a little inconsistant with their customers. While this isnt a good thing, if you want to shop online, its a risk you'll have to take! ... Read review

Shop with confidence
Review of buy.com by coolchanty

Advantages: good value, efficient, reliable, trust worthy, excellent customer service
Disadvantages: none

I was recomended to buy.com by a good friend of mine. I was interested in buying a scanner and a dvd rom for my p.c and my friend knows of many sites which sell these kind of products. We spent about half an hour surfing the net for these two products and found buy.com to be the best. As I was a new customer and a first time buyer to buy.com I was able to receive a £20.00 off voucher for my first order which was interesting.However there was a ...
...I was easily going to manage that for what I wanted so I registered with them. Looking at all the other websites they appeared to be the cheapest too for the items I wanted and many more which was also good and also made me want to shop with them more than any of the other companies which sell the items I wanted. You also get free next day delivery if you spend £50 which was another bonus as I was going to manage that this time too. There are also ... Read review

If you're going to buy online then buy.com
Review of buy.com by IainCMartin

Advantages: Prices, products and promotions
Disadvantages: None

...Anyway, what does buy.com have to recommend it that other online stores might not ? Well for me there are 5 key areas that stand out about buy.com (read on and I'll probably pick out more !!). 1) Products - I never cease to be impressed with the product range that buy.com offers - every time I've looked for something to do with my PC they seem to stock it !! 2) Prices - their prices are keen - very keen. They operate a low price guarantee which means ...
...4) Special offers - buy.com is one of those sites where it seems that if you trawl hard enough (or know where to look) you can find a money-off voucher (I recommend the new section on FreeInUk.co.uk). My last purchase was for £10 off a £20 spend !! (I actually spent £60+). 5) Delivery - free on orders over £50 and very prompt. My order placed on Tuesday morning arrived this morning (Thursday) with the post at 7:15. I really can't say any more about ... Read review
