I hadn't purchased anything from Letsbuyit in a year or so but recieved the latest newsletter which contained 2 really good deals. A Philips DVD (£399.99) and Teeth Whitening kit for £129.00. I had been looking for a teeth whitening kit but the type with trays, which I've been told are the best, seem to cost around over £300 which was not in my budget. I went to the website and it seemed to rather clean, worked well and overall was a nice site. It was easy to find the kit using search. The teeth whitener is what letsbutit calls calls it a cobuy product. That means 5 other people have to buy the product for the £129.00 price to ...  Read the complete review

Like many people I was introduced to this site a year ago when those adverts with the little ants were on TV. I thought the collective buy ethos was a neat idea so I checked out the web site, expecting there to be a big catch. But there wasn't. The site is well designed and well explained. It's simple to start an account and your account manager pages are easy to access, and give you all the info you need. The co-buys also look very attractive. I would say on average the saving is approximately 25% on normal retail price. Of course the catch is that the co-buy needs enough people to join it for the price to come down. But you can aid this by emailing your friends ...  Read the complete review

Do not use this company! Here's why: Last Christmas I wanted to get my fiance a nice digital camera as a present. I saved up my hard earned cash and then went looking for a good deal. There was one on letsbuyit.com which was very cheap and seemed good. I have worked in the e-business market for several years and shop online on a regular basis. The only rules I use for deciding whether to order or not from a company are: A. Make sure it's a secure site B. Only order from reputable companies Letsbuyit.com passed both tests so 3 weeks before Christmas I placed my order. It guaranteed me delivery before Christmas, so I didn't ...  Read the complete review

Although this website originally went bust, it has got new backers and is now fully functional. The concept of the site is that the more people who want to buy one particular product, the more discount they can negotiate with the supplier. This is a great idea and I am not sure why they lost money in the first place, but it is up the us, the consumers to keep it running by letting other people know how good it is. The products that they sell range from big appliances such as fridges, washing machines and televisions to little items such as radios, scarves and toasters. The discounts that you can save from normal high street prices range from £500 (for ...  Read the complete review

Let me be the first to report my experience of Letsbuyit.com since they reopened shop again. I never bought anything from them before but a few weeks ago, I bought a camera from them after finding their price much lower than elsewhere on the web (and did a search through kelkoo to make sure). I received it less than 2 weeks from the time that the co-buy closed. The camera works fine and was a great value. I know people who had a bad experience the first time around will be apprehensive about trying Letsbuyit.com again but based on my experience, the service has had none of the flaws that some people have claimed- perhaps this is due to a rededication to ...  Read the complete review
