Bargain Crazy Discount?   
Hi
Ive got as far as Confirming Payment on their checkout after entering the
D5GT promotion code but the price has not changed to give 50% off.  Anybody
ordered or know how this works?

They take off the discount when they charge your card, beware, if you want 
to return items, you have to pay to send them back     Beth

That's crap, Beth, and you know it. What you mean to say is "if you don't 
like an item and want to send it back". If the item is faulty, you will not 
be charged.

To be fair to Beth, she did say "if you want" which would suggest the 
return is through choice rather than because an item is faulty.

Has anyone asked them if they have a freepost address?

I am so sorry that you think I am talking CRAP!!!!!, i was only trying to 
warn the op that if he didn't like the item he had ordered and wanted to 
return it, then he would have to pay the return postage, which, as was the 
case for me, turned out to be very expensive, it is as you say, and we all 
know, if the item is faulty then Bargain crazy will pick up the item free of 
charge,  beth

I hope you meant to reply to the earlier post rather than my post in 
your defence.

Yes, I am so sorry it looked like I was replying to you,(and after you took 
the time to defend me too!) I was replying to "graybags" who very 
chivalrously told everyone I was talking CRAP!! I do wonder if he has ever 
had any dealing with Bargain Crazy, or does he just like to cause offence 
when people are trying to help with a query, perhaps he would like to tell 
us all, without resorting to nastiness?     sorry once again for the way my 
post appeared      Beth

But you choose to single out this particular retailer with your so called 
'warning'.

Is there a single retailer in the world that would actually pay for the 
return postage on unwanted items?
Do Argos pay your petrol costs when you invoke the 16-day guarantee and 
drive the product back down there?

I think not. Any business that did so would have to build the associated 
costs into the initial cost of the item, meaning more expensive items, doing 
less business.
