Electrics, discounted, in the UK.

Advantages: Competitive prices, easy to navigate site,fast delivery
Disadvantages: None.

...About a year ago we wanted to replace our Video player. For various reasons we decided to go for a DVD Recorder/VHS Combi. And so the search began. After deciding the particular model we wanted, we began searching for the best price. Trailing the shops was out of the question. Nine times out of ten you can get it cheaper online, and can get the most up to date models. So by-passing the high street I went straight to an online search. Using my favourite price checker the site listed as the cheapest was Electrical Discount UK. So off I went to have a look. Going to the website you might be a bit put off by the home page. It is nothing fancy, in fact could be seen as cluttered. What at first appear to be ads down the site on a more thorough look are in fact certificates and approvals from various organisations. There is also...

Family Railcard - great discounts

Advantages: Great savings and reasonable cost to buy - check out the offers
Disadvantages: Don't do one for just adults.

...I bought my first ever railcard this year - I am a devoted driver and the cost of fuel versus the cost of going by train has never really compared whether there was one of you in the car or four. i personally never felt that I didn't use the train enough to re-coup the cost of the railcard - how wrong!. I bought my card via a link on money saving expert for £18 as opposed to £24, there have been promotions since giving you 3 months free and then buy for £12 for the year. The card enables up to 4 adults and 4 children to travel on one railcard, but to get the discounts you must have at least one child travelling with the party. The card then gives a third off all adult fares and 60% off all child fares even if you book in advance. This year I booked with the maximum notice for the 3 of us to be to London (2 adults and 1 child...

Amazon.co.uk

Advantages: Wide Range, Cheap, Quick Delivery
Disadvantages: Cheap Looking Site

...I've only quite recently begun shopping with Amazon, the main reason being receiving vouchers from survey sites and from on here. It's now one of the first sites I look at when making a purchase. ~~~ Products ~~~ Amazon.co.uk stocks a massive variety of products. So far everything I have searched for has been available to buy on the site, although most of the things have been quite common like DVD's and games. I can't think of anywhere that stocks as much stuff as Amazon, maybe not even Ebay. ~~~ Prices ~~~ The prices on Amazon are very competitive and are usually the cheapest place to but DVD's and games, again being usually cheaper than Ebay, I have no doubt that this is the case for many other products. The main down side is that cash back sites don't offer cash back for Amazon, or am I on the wrong cash back site...

Give the finger to Dixons and Comet

Advantages: Fast delivery, cheap, good service
Disadvantages: None

...on both items- around £330 on the TV and £150 on the VCR. So I decided to shop on-line, and used the Pricerunner website. Both items are quite popular and widely-available so it popped up with about 15 websites selling what I wanted, which is certainly a good contrast to the 2 choices I had on the high street! The prices varied massively, but on both items it seemed to be Empire Direct and dabs, which I?d heard of, and Electrical Discount UK, which I hadn?t, which gave me the cheapest deals, all within a few pounds of each other. I wasn?t keen on dabs because I?d had experience of their poor customer service is the goods turn out to the faulty and I found their website confusing and very lacking in information on the products. Empire Direct seemed better but I?d heard very conflicting stories about the company. In both cases, pricerunner...

Review of Electrical Discount UK

Discount prices and fast service.

Advantages: Good prices and fast postage
Disadvantages: None

...was £19.99 instead of £30. These are both fragrances I buy and I was pleased with the prices offered. There is a blog section and also testimonials from customers, as well as further sections on electrical goods such as blood pressure monitors and massagers. Information is also given on free gifts available when you spend over a certain amount. A message pops up when you first access the site telling you that if you are ordering for the first time you will receive 5% discount on your order. There is also an option to join the Halfpriceperfumes.co.uk club where for £10 a year you will receive 5% discount on all your purchases, no matter how much you spend, and you will also receive a £10 E-voucher to give to a friend to use on their first order. Overall I found browsing the site very easy and there were quite a few bargains and good...

Carsource.co.uk - the best car sourcing site

Advantages: Comprehensive, over 148,000 used cars for sale, easy to use
Disadvantages: A lot of adverts, cant take into toilet to read.

...Carsource.co.uk is basically a webiste for sourcing new and used cars accross the UK. I first was aware of this site by clicking for free points on mutualpoints.com, but never really had the use for it until recently when I was asked to help a friend purchase a car. There once was a time when nearly all car purchases were made through publications such as Autotrader and Loot but the balance of power has shifted dramatically over the last few years towards web based search tools such as carsource.co.uk and it does not look to be abating. With this is mind, I sat down and used carsource.co.uk for the first time as a genuine search tool and not just as a way to earn free points. The site. The site itself is very comprehensive in options. You have the ability to primarily search new and used cars, sell your vehicle and even check...

Amazon.co.uk Marketplace

Advantages: Earns money for your unwanted items
Disadvantages: Postage costs

...~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ What is Amazon? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Amazon.co.uk is a website where you purchase literally anything.

Avoid Rip-off New Car Prices

Advantages: Big Savings, Professional and Helpful Service
Disadvantages: None really

...For those of you who are thinking of buying a new car then I would like to introduce you to a way of avoiding paying the over-inflated UK prices and that is to import your own car. I had heard before that it was much cheaper to import a car from Europe than to buy it here but I always thought that it meant travelling to Europe to pick it up and lots of complicated paperwork for the import process. However, more recently a number of car importing agents have appeared on the web which make the process a lot easier than you might imagine. So when my company decided it was no longer going to give me a company car I was faced with the prospect of taking my allowance and buying my own. I wanted to get a good car that would last and as I had been well impressed by driving one before I decided to go for a Saab. At first I looked through...

Review of Auto Source UK Car Importer

You don't have to pay the list price for a car.

Advantages: By shopping around you may get a better deal
Disadvantages: Can be time consuming and we lose out to the Europeans again!

...harmonisation throughout Europe it is not something we should consider. Each state should be free (as it is) to dictate its own fiscal policy without interference from Big Brother Europe. Indeed, the main reason why I am so opposed to European integration is the fact that, as an island nation we will always be on the fringes of a united Europe geographically and nothing will ever change this. This geographical limitation will have a knock on effect on pricing and freedom of movement to and from the UK as additional costs need to be factored in. But, back to cars.... We can all carry on whinging about the prices that we are being made to pay but it doesn't stop us buying. The car is moving away from being a luxury item to a necessity. Remember though, there are ways you can save money on a new purchase... BUY ABROAD If you are...

Great Service, Quick delivery, no complaints

Advantages: Cheap, excellent service/delivery
Disadvantages: None

...Just a nice quick review on Discount Supplements.co.uk, ordered some Boditronics whey on a Friday afternoon, had it confirmed that it was dispatched on the same day, assumed I would received the package on the Tuesday, however delivered to my office on the Monday. So in terms of service, excellent, delivery, excellent, product, excellent!!!! In addition, the purchasing process was very easy, i simply selected the product to which I was recommended, set up an account, which sent me directly through to the purchasing page, where they accept many forms of payment. To be honest, I was a bit skeptical about Discount supplements to begin with, as I had never really heard of them, and the website isn't too clean. However, after this experience, they have definately gained a future customer, and I would recommend them to anyone....
