Advantages: Lots of good deals on bits n bobs, CD-R media etc Disadvantages: Can be slow, or you are given false impressions of delivery times
My first experiences of Jungle were not too good. Sure, I got a free software CD with some graphics package I looked at once and never used again. Of course this is what enticed me to join up as a customer in the first place. The interface of the website was very attractive and really easy to navigate so long as you Browse and don't use the Search function. I had no problem finding a variety of things I liked at a very affordable price. Even a few ... ...up when I saw them. Unfortunately, I placed about 3 different orders for these bargains and they never showed up in the space of around 17 days so I had to cancel each and every one. I was very dismayed by Jungle's false promises and it's online order tracking that kept on knocking back the date just as the delivery was due. They dangled their sale items like an imaginary carrot that I would never obtain. Anyway, this run of bad luck was broken after ...

...recently purchased a computer from jungle.com , I was given very helpful advice over the phone and reccomendations for extra items, the salesman was very friendly and didnt try to push any product on to me. I found their advertisment in a PC magazine with all their products and prices clearly shown. The price of the computer was much less compared to High street shops and was delivered the very next working day. Dont pay High street prices when their ... ...started playing up I rang Jungle.com who were very helpful, no putting me on hold or waiting while listening to dreadful music,
I was simply asked to box up my monitor and it would be collected that day.
Two hours later there was a knock on the door and there was a courier to take the monitor away. Two days later my monior was replaced with a new model..... now theres service for you, you dont get that very often these days. ...

Advantages: Easy to navigate, speedy delivery, checking status of order. Disadvantages: Slight delay over Christmas
I have used Jungle.com 5 times since Christmas and I have always been very pleased with the price and speed of delivery. I recently ordered a CD RW Drive and 2 x 50 CDR's. I ordered these on August Bank Holiday and received the drive and 1 lot of cdr's on the Thursday. Thinking that they had ran out of stock (it was a very good offer) I expected the 2nd lot of CDR's to follow later. A week after when I checked my credit card bill, I saw that I had ... ...wished to share it with all on CIAO. As you will see from my profile I do not normally write revues but felt in this instance to make an exception. So anyone who wishes to order anything from Jungle.com rest assured that you are ordering from the best online shop. ...

Advantages: Delivery speed was second to none. Choice of products and order tracking also earn plus points Disadvantages: The website *can* be a little tricky to navigate for web novices
I know there's a squillion reviews on Jungle.com, but given my recent experience with them I felt I had to add my comments to the mass.
I wanted to upgrade my friend's PC to include a CDRW drive. There's a tonne of these on the market nowadays, and I did some thorough research before starting a bargain hunt.
One thing about me - I hate paying over-the-odds for goods, so the price of the item was imperative.
I actually browsed onto Jungle as an ... ...websites, and it was a flippant click of the mouse that saw me arrive at Jungle.com.
I'm very glad I did..
There's a few niggly things I didn't like - the search bar is tiny and squashed into the top left hand corner, and you really have to know what the title of the item is that you're searching for. Jungle doesn't use fuzzy searches, and searching for CDRW (which I would've hoped covered both drives and media) only gave me discs. Not much cop.

Advantages: Nearly Everything You May Need for Hi-tec Entertainment Disadvantages: Almost Too Much to Choose From
I actually love the Jungle website, especially since its been updated. There are a few niggles that annoy me, but all in all, I love this website.
You could spend hours looking at the Jungle website, there are so many different gadgets and bits and pieces that you can become engaged in it and forget that others may need the telephone line!
I have ordered alot from Jungle in the past, and when I bought my new home PC I decided to go for an all-in-one ... ...£160 thinking I would get some loyalty points, ie. get some money off of things but when I went to the loyalty points page I discovered it was no longer working. I was hoping this would get updated and I would get my loyalty points but as of yet I havent seen any signs of them.
There are many products on the Jungle website but I tend to find that they put the same products but different colours as different products and this makes looking at the ...
