You've just clicked "Pay Now" for a fantastic online price deal and then do a quick google comparison and find it isn't:


Samsung printer - £173 on ebuyer, £125 on DABS

If you're really quick, you can cancel it in the 'My Orders' section of ebuyer. If not, then you can return within 10 days for a full refund.

Too late - it's going to be delivered tomorrow.

To be fair to ebuyer their service is first class. I nearly always get stuff the next day.

They are usually very competitive ... they sent me their newsletter which featured the printer as a special. It looked dirt cheap so clicky click went my mouse!

Just shows how important it is to run a product number through google.co.uk before buying!



Memo to Mr Yellow Badge: That's the whole point I'm making by starting this thread. Or was the subtlety of the title a bit over your head. FFS.

It's cheaper than buying them, apparently...

No. No it wasn't.
Your point, quite clearly put, was 'Don't you hate it when this happens'

No argument of 'subtlety' could even remotely equate that to my response of 'Only an educationally sub-normal fool would be in that position in the first place'.
