Pixmania.co.uk (Before November 2010)

I put in a product request for this about 3 months ago and forgot to write a review I come back and not one but eleven people had beat me to it! What would the people of Ciao do without my proposals? HOW I CAME ACROSS PIXMANIA My birthday was on the 18th September and I decided that I wanted a mini Ipod from my mum and dad but didn't bother looking on the net for one until the 17th September. A bit late I know but the initial idea was to find out the lowest priced shop and pick it up from there. This was until I found Pixmania on Kelkoo and found that they where offering the Ipod about £7 ... more

I was thinking of buying a new camera so I went online searching for the best deal I could find and discovered that Pixmania were offering it at a great price. Pixmania, for those of you who don't know, despite having a .co.uk site are actually based in France but offer some great deals on electrical products and cameras in particular. I first ordered from them way back in 2003 when I bought a digital camcorder and I was impressed with them then so I was quite happy to place an order again to see if they were just as good. I found the camera I wanted very easily on their web site, it is quick ... more

Hmm - Pixmania! Last week my tumble dryer went kaput for about the fourth time in two years. The money I have spent to get it fixed each time would have bought me a new one. So, this time I decided to actually get a new one. I spent all Saturday afternoon going through the various options; Tesco, Argos, Comet, Amazon ..... . Eventually I found Pixmaniaa through a search engine (Google probably). They were by far the cheapest, and for a model I had actually heard of - Indesit. Sold! They also offered fitting and taking away the old machine for under £10 - bargain! On the following Monday I ... more

I am a regular online shopper and often search out bargains on line using search engines like pricerunner.com which is how I came across a great deal for a Canon CX6600 on pixmania.co.uk. It came up nearly £10 cheaper than Amazon and promised a rapid delivery. The site itself was quick to load, well laid out and well labeled with a phone number on every page and a Frequently asked questions page which covered all aspects of the buying and returns process. There are regular offers which are changed frequently. Placing an order was simple and secure using a credit card, although you can order ... more

I had decided to buy a Sony SR11 camcorder, and Pixmania appeared to be a reputable site. So I went through the online ordering process, managed eventually to fin dout how to delete the extras that Pixmania had added in to my shopping basket without my permnission, and then checked out to buy with my Amex card. The transaction failed, with the bald message saying that "Your transaction could not be completed, try again". So I did, with exactly the same result. I then took everything out of my basket and quit the site, buying the camcorder elsewhere - Amazon in fact. I contacted Pixmania by ... more
