| 1210318 | 2011-06-18 08:42:00 | it says the offers attract customers who aren't loyal and they're simply in it for the cheap deals. Like no S*** pal. You generally go to that sort of place for cheap deals. |

Mostly beauty treatments. However there is occasionally a cheap round of golf or a dinner offer that I have taken advantage of. None from the TV promotions though - I imagine they are bleeding money.... :pf1mobmini: |

Never had any problems and were cheap. Though their service has gone to hell from when they first started in terms of delivery time and delivery notification. |

Yes, that would work, but as I said, every now and then there is a legitimate bargain. I recently bought a Toshiba Satellite C660 through 1-day ($800, RRP $1400 - HN are specialling them this weekend for $899). They said 7-10 days delivery, and sure enough, 8 days later, there it was. :pf1mobmini: |

| 1210325 | 2011-06-19 00:52:00 | The funny bit is surely that they think customers should be loyal to them and not to good deals. If you keep giving good deals people will stay loyal. I don't use the daily deal sites but I'm currently a pretty loyal customer of JB Hi-Fi and CD WOW because they offer the best deals for me. | Twelvevolts (5457) | ||
| 1210326 | 2011-06-19 01:41:00 | One of those companies mentioned earlier approached a bussiness I have a finger in so to speak. The deal was they would specify what the service would be, what the cost of the service would be, and they would take a huge cut. It took about 1.6 seconds to deduce that the business would take a massive loss, and we know from past experience you get no repeat custom from those you attract from taking a loss. Whats the point? |
