Damned!!! They won't ship outside the UK.
Anybody in the UK interested in ordering me a bunch? I'll pay for shipping
Posted by NetGuy2
Could someone get me one! plz! I'll pay the shipping to spain.
Posted by masseur
I would forget this. Consumer law in UK allows that if the wrong price has been advertised, and it is a genuine mistake, the shop have the right not to make the sale.
Posted by Vlammetje
which is fine by me (won't lose any money on that) still I say it's worth as shot
id only to make them realize their mistake
Posted by masseur
yeah. I guess the first one or two might get lucky if their system is fully automated!
Good luck!
Posted by SCORPIONKING1982
Hey guys i forgot to add this before i left work,i did some digging on the site and it appears they are actually giving them away free!
Posted by Vlammetje
In that case I must try to get some more
Posted by masseur
SCORPIONKING1982, do you recall where you saw this extra information? I've been looking through the site after your last comment and even got google to search the site but cannot find anything that suggests they are intentionally giving them away (and why would they?)
Posted by Vlammetje
hmmmmmm it's a bit strange I agree...
maybe they advertise GUARANTEED LOWEST PRICES??
Posted by Vlammetje
Offer has now been taken off the site
Posted by masseur
the first link still works for me, even after page refresh. The second one doesn't work though
Posted by Vlammetje
oh?
apologies then
i looked at their price list for sim free phones and they were both gone...
hmmm maybe they're out of stock???
Posted by blue8300
No problems with the link here !! just tried, first is ok !!
And it is maybe not a mistake, they give alot of stuff free.. but you still have ot give your credit card number
lolll
But in that case i think it's a typpo... it will be free with a T-mobile contract

nope.... simfree
£0.00... well i've ordered so we'll find out. got confirmation email that it's free and free of contract
..... to be continued.
and scorpion... thanks a million

Companies are obliged by law to sell at the advertised price. One recently refused and was fined. So is it sim free for sure then?
Posted by masseur
BOSSHOGG, that is incorrect. As I posted earlier in this thread from the consumer association page I found, retailers may withdraw a product from sale, or not honour a price shown, if they have genuinely marked the price incorrectly.
Posted by BOSSHOGG
I read your earlier post. But I've seen it before on watchdog, they acco withdraw it and fix it, but any orders placed are supposed to be honoured.
Posted by Fritz24
Just having looked at the link it doesn't look like a mistake. The price is written as 'free.'

Our Price: FREE (Including VAT & FREE UK Delivery) |
just the way it says FREE in big letters is weird. if it was a genuine mistake.. it would say something like £0.00 surely?
Posted by masseur
Dunno, maybe their system converts a price of 0 (which may have just been overlooked for entry) as FREE!
Posted by Fritz24
Guess we'll see when (and if!) Vlammetje gets her's delivered
Posted by mixin
they are getting delivered at my house
Posted by Vlammetje
shall i have a look at the delivery status tomorrow??
anyway mixy baby.... i think i might look at this website at least every other day now
so be prepared to have your house turned into a warehouse!
Posted by Superluminova
It don't come up as free anymore i think they might have discovered there mistake

The phones are no longer there! Good job I got my order in quickly!
@Masseur/Bosshog
I beleive the complication comes in with Order Confirmation. They certainly don't have to honour the prices shown if they're a mistake, but if you place an order, and they confirm it, it becomes slightly different.
Many web based shops have an automated confirmation process, which could get them in to trouble.
The mail I got back from these people simply confirms what I've asked for, not that they've accepted the order (so far at least), so I'm not sure that there will be anything to chase...
Posted by BOSSHOGG
The race is on, be sure to post here if anyone hears from them. Wish i had a connection now :-(
Posted by Vlammetje
we'll find out
I got their email confirming my order at £ 0.00 grand total too
If they really ship, ima be their most loyal customer from now on (well... mixin is of course
)
but I would think they must've noticed their stocks never ran out as quickly as today
still...... when going through the check out procedure... i came across a line that said if you order a free item we must still ask for credit card details hmmmm......
tis still funny.
Posted by mixin
St55 is going for £200 on ebay aswell
Posted by Vlammetje
I noticed
which is why, if they ship those phones, i am gonna be so so so happy
Posted by Superluminova
how many did you order mix?
Posted by mixin
you wont be happy if i dont send the phones on
Posted by Vlammetje
neither will you. that means no plane ticket to UK.
Posted by mixin
i didnt order any barry.. vlam ordered loads and put the shipping address to me
vlam > you could always come over to the uk to pick them up
Posted by Vlammetje
i trust you
Posted by Superluminova
Ok sorry, how many did you order to be sent to mixins house vlam?
Posted by Miss UK

Posted by Miss UK

Posted by BOSSHOGG

Posted by Miss UK

Posted by TheGlassJAw
i ordered one and it was stuck on the address check since i ordered it. now the address check is complete it says awaiting dispatch! surely they were going to stop it they would have by now. if all goes well i should have it on friday! i hope... how great would that be!!
Posted by bossjohnc
woohoo! snap!
Like you say though... I doubt it!
Posted by Vlammetje
mine is stuck on awaiting dispatch as well. Intriguingly.... it's giving me a delivery date of 11/10/2003... do they mean 11 Oct or 10 Nov??
Posted by mixin
bri'ish site, so it should be 11th oct
Posted by Vlammetje

Posted by BOSSHOGG
