I've found that most items I've won have arrived within 48 hours. It makes me feel a bit better about the high postage cost. I think the longest I've waited is four working days, and that was over christmas. Julie

This is good news for me, although not for my credit card! On the bid.tv forum I'd read that it was bid that was leaving freeview, not price-drop. I much prefer the presenters on bid so I'm glad it's the one that's staying. Julie

I'm trying to work out if some items aren't shown on TV and so the auction doesn't actually occur. I placed a web bid on an item a couple of days ago at the minimum bid of £11.00. The item normally drops to around the £7.99 mark so I was confident of winning. The auction then ended but I...

I've just watched this on the website and I have to say that Debbie Greenwood did an incredible job - how she didn't just curl up on the floor and laugh for at least 10 minutes is beyond me. Thanks to the OP for posting this - I really needed a good laugh today. Julie

I just wanted to say a huge thank you for this post. I hadn't even heard of e-cigs until you mentioned them here but I immediately went and did a bit of research online. I usually smoke around 100g of rolling tobacco per week, but a few hours after reading this post I placed my first order for...

Don't buy it - there's a reason it's only £16.99 - it's rubbish. I bought one a couple of years ago for around £20.00 plus P&P and I rarely, if ever, use it. It doesn't have different temperatures - it's pretty much on (full power) or off (any of the lower powers). When they show the shots...

This is possibly good news for me as it'll save me some money, but having only recently discovered the channel I think I'll miss it a little. As the poster above this said - the best presenters seem to be on Bid. Julie

I just had to change channels on my TV to see if that was true. They are obviously passing on the VAT change. I wonder how long it will last. Julie

Thanks for that. I thought it might be a case of "it depends" :) I'm just a little annoyed with myself for buying during a non-stop because I'd put a couple of bids in online on the same item at the lowest price I've seen them sell at but they didn't drop low enough each time. I took a chance...

Are non-stop drops likely to end up selling for less or more than the normal price drops? The reason I ask is that I got caught a out few nights ago and bought something during a non-stop that usually goes for a few pounds cheaper on a normal drop. I've only been watching the sit-up channels...

The way to calculate what a new price should be is take the original price and divide it by 1.175 and then multiply the new number by 1.15. I posted on one of the other forums that IW is passing on the difference - yesterday they had an item that would normally sell at £19.99 selling at...

Maybe I'm in a minority, but I like the craft shows. I only have freeview so can't get Create and Craft, and I can no longer bring myself to watch DB on the other channel so the craft shows on IW are the only ones I watch. I like some of the guests and I really enjoy the longer demos they...

I had no trouble using this voucher. I think my order, using the voucher, was for something like £21.00 and I only paid £11.00. As the poster above says, you do have to order on the phone and not online. I did double check the total I would be paying with the person on the phone, and checked...

I watched a little bit of IW yesterday and noticed that they were passing on the new VAT rate to their customers. They were selling two remote control flying thingies for £19.56 (which would have been £19.99 at the old VAT rate) and the Moira C scarflaces were selling for £38.99 instead of...

I know some people on here hate the word but sometimes their craft stuff is incredibly good value for money (especially during free P&P events). I also like seeing the demos of some items that I would never have considered buying if I'd just seen then on a shelf in a shop. My Brother sewing...

I love mine - but I bought from a market stall about 15 years ago for about £10. I use it to make coleslaw when I can't be bothered to dig out the food processor. Julie

If you want the convenience of having choccies posted then www.hotelchocolat.co.uk are fantastic. Not cheap, but fabulous. We get a box of chocs delivered every three months, plus one extra at Xmas. Julie

I would write to them and complain, asking for the amount of the phone call to be credited back to your credit card (once you've received the item). Julie

Don't forget to add a bit of money to your claim for your phone calls and postage costs. I did this a couple of years ago and eventually received, IIRC, £20.00 back when I was trying to get my P&P refunded on a faulty item. Julie

I watched this last night and was a little tempted until I realised that the models he uses already have incredibly gorgeous thick hair. I also got really annoyed that in the "before" pictures of the models their hair had not only been brushed down to look as bad as possible but they were also...
