"free" offers
- 24 February 2014 18:14261405i was given a voucher at the check out of poundland a few days back which promised 50 free prints of computer photos.
just logged onto the site and they suggested that i download my photos and at the end the discount would be shown on my bill.
what bill i thought?
looking at the voucher again the smallest of small print says "incremental postage and packing charges apply".
the thing is i would have to download 50 photos first before i found out what the postage and packing charges would be.
i gave up and logged out and a few minutes later an e mail came through reminding me about my 20 yes twenty free photos!!
beware of geeks bearing gifts as the saying goes. - 25 February 2014 08:07261438Very little comes without a price tag of some sort despite the protestations of "FREE" screaming loudly from the adverts.
I got a bargain though the other day without moving away from the computer. From Bid TV.
I think it was a bargain anyway.. but...
I placed a bid of a £1 on their website for 2 rolls of fairly heavy duty caulking tape ( blocks draughts etc). I never did it before so didn't know if anything would turn up as the bid of a quid seemed very low. Well lo and behold yesterday the 2 rolls of tape turned up and all for a Pound. The sting in the tail though was the £7.99 P&P charge.
