LowestOnTheWeb (Evesham) - Timewasters - (long-ish)
Was going to order a 19in Viewsonic VX912 TFT from them last week, and
noticed their "Beat It" promo, where they claim they will beat any genuine UK offer. So I had a shop around and found the same Viewsonic VX912 at Savastore for £30 less, so entered the required info, provided a link etc... after a 2 day wait, they declined the pricematch, without any explaination, I assume it was because Savastore were listing 2-3 days availability -fair enough I suppose.... Another quick search found the same monitor again at Overclockers.co.uk for £20 cheaper, and it was instock, LOTW have no reason not to price match this one, as it's a genuine instock and inline with all their T&C's for the price match. WRONG... 2 days later, the pricematch was declined again, and no explianation again. Have now decided to wait until the new year when there will be better availability and possibly better prices. When I do order, it cerainly won't be these timewasters... I did however learn 2 things: 1/ LowestOnTheWeb's pricematch is not worth the paper it's written on, it's just a big timewaster 2/ LowestOnTheWeb are anything but, there are cheaper vendors elsewhere. I will certainly be avoiding them in the future... |

No, so have decided to wait 'til the new year and buy from Savastore or Overclockers, and with a bit of luck the proce may have dropped a bit more :-) Evesham can go swivel .... -- "This dog don't give a feck..." |

Lowest On The Web were offering free postage... maybe thats why they wouldnt match it "Add the required item to your basket, and click 'Beat It!!' on the corresponding line - then enter the price you've seen (including VAT and any delivery charge), " |

Cheers, just bit the bullet, and ordered from MD... Will kick myself in the new year when it's £60 cheaper, but then that's the way it goes!!

The satisfaction of not spending my money at Evesham is worth it :-) Monitor winging it's way to me, it's just kinda annoying that I had to have my first order delivered to my card address, and the hassle of driving to the depot to collect it, as there will be nobody home. It seems lunacy, the courier companies must be driven mad by all these useless deliverys where nobody will be home, but they are doing it "because of the system". -- "This dog don't give a feck..." |
