More rip off prices

Q are currently flogging the iPad mini 4 64gb with wifi for £459 with two years tech support plus £6.95 postage and on 4 easy payments.
Argos have the exact same item at £399 with free tech support and 12 months interest free. Collect from store. Should I buy from the Q?:mysmilie_15:

They have never been brilliant for tech.

Agreed but if you read the Q arsebook page you would never know.

Even though I have them on my Facebook follow, thoose threads never appear on my feed in fact very little from QVC does !

Now QVC on their Facebook have stated more than once. They never claim to be the cheapest.:mysmilie_19:

 

[grovesy]

Yes but they like to imply it often enough.

For me, Q is like a slightly upmarket (everything said tongue in cheek, I hasten to add) Christmas club, i.e. selling overpriced tat to people who can ill afford it, by making it seem affordable with instalments. By marking up the price of the items and adding ridiculous postage, it's essentially a form of credit/APR.

And you try and mention price on their arsebook page and the comment has gone quicker than a fart in a gale.

I think one of two on the Q should wear a mask and it nor because they are robbing people blind. Fibby Flint is one and Iggys sister is the other...

You saying they are facially challenged?

Now there is one of life's great questions, could Stephen Hawkings answer? No doubt die hard follows will say, but its QVC the wonderful company in the multi verse.:mysmilie_490:

Well, one looks like a model for Simon Wilsons skull jewellery and the other looks far too smug for my liking. I'll let you work out which is which.

Very little of what I buy is on easy pay - sadly most of what I want isn't on it.

I tend to by TSVs as they are usually good value. Or I buy beauty stuff I've never tried before, I feel it's worth the extra fee quid because I can send it back if I don't like it.

The high postage rankles me. I always add it to the price when calculating value.
