Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2005 13:30:50 -0000 I wouldn't totally agree on the "reputable" for Ebuyer, me and many of my friends have had some horrible aftersales service (or lack of thereof) from them, on purchases ranging from a few quid to thousands of pounds (including £2,000 of monitors just left on someone's front doorstep while they were out, after almost 2 months of non-delivery, mixed up orders, all sorts!) - I think they're improving now, at least they've reintroduced their telephone support after many complaints to Trading Standards, but I still don't really trust them, especially not after how they handled my last two orders with them. That said, their prices are cheap - but if they're that cheap, imagine what the profit margins are... The old adage of you get what you pay for holds true here! Just thought I'd post to give people a more informed view of ebuyer... Check the user reviews of Ebuyer on Romulus2.com 's Feedback Arena - http://www.romulus2.com/feedback/company.php?137 . As an example, their lifetime rating for aftersales support and refund policies is a weak 3.10 out of 10, and recent ratings are worse! Of course sometimes you get very quick, value-for-money service from them, and I don't want to post naught but horror stories, but as a retailer, they aren't without their faults. -----Original Message----- From: Bluechip [mailto:csbluechip_at_gmail.com] Sent: 02 November 2005 05:11 To: rockbox_at_cool.haxx.se Subject: Cheap AA NiMH batteries (accu's) in the UK I don't usually do this kind of thing, but my batteries have just collapsed and I need to replace them - in my hunt I found this: http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/products/index.html?action=c2hvd19wcm9kdWN0X2 92ZXJ2aWV3&product_uid=97611 Inluding postage & packing that is a saving of between 50% and 70% of prices elsewhere on the web - they are also a very reputable company with whom I have dealt with in the past. 4 x 2500mAh "Energizer" batteries AND Charger with in-car adaptor £12.57 (delivered) Energizer are ranking at the top with "Powerex" in all reviews I could find.
