If registered with bid tv shopping there's a link on the
www.bid.tv site to get their promotional emails. This weekend there's a free delivery discount on items bought from the bid tv website. Fixed price items for £50 or more qualify for the free delivery, so this isn't on offer for the live TV auctions or others on site, or any of the other sit-up tv auctions or websites, not even the pricedropper.co.uk website.

Before buying, it helps to see the websites eg bid tv, price-drop tv, speedauction tv and pricedropper.co.uk because the item you may consider may well be listed over the weekend and may be on TV and may be sold for even less. That's the gamble.
This is the situation for all variable price deals wherever you shop eg locally or online. It's like a Manager's Price special deal. Maybe you could get a better price somewhere else, but are you willing to try?
I've seen lots of new products being introduced to the Shopping TV channels and some are being custom made for these channels eg computers with software pre-installed or games and apps. Internet TV devices will cost customers dearly at first until we get closer to the end of the line for their stocks or there's a massive warehouse clearance event to gain space for the new stock.
When we've seen prices drop from £200+ to £100 for the Intempo Evolve, we're not so keen to buy the new items like PC tablets etc. So this response could mean less research and maybe less savings as a result.
There are several websites promoting what they think are hot deals. A few months later and the prices for these have dropped dramatically, just like you'd expect with secondhand deals on Ebay.
However, it does help to buy and try, learn and return as long as full refunds apply. Doing this too often could mean you lose your account, but it's not your fault if being sold substandard goods in the first place.
Shopping TV channels like bid tv promote themselves with announcements saying they have about 95% customer satisfaction results. My guess is that the remaining 5% could apply as a result of electrical goods, like set top boxes and Audio Video equipment, so for most customers the real figure is like 97%.
Millions of customers ARE getting brilliant service and prices. Perhaps so much that they are offsetting their expenses for Sky or Virgin Media or for their TV Licences or Internet access. However, I'd rather shop on their websites than pay them about £1 to £1.50 to phone them up each time! Imagine over 10 orders a month: paying £10 to £15 a month extra each month for these phone calls!
