Advantages: Good fun, Good prices

Disadvantages: Bad customer services, Overpriced p&p, Returning items

What started as a bit of fun is turning into a disaster.I started bidding 3 weeks ago,i bidded for some glass place mats.They turned up 4 days later.Smashed.I immediatly phoned them and was told they would pick them up in 3 days.That was 2 1/2 weeks ago and its still here.I have waited in for them to collect it 4 times now they have still to turn up.I am now past my 14 days money back guarentee but they needn't bother on that one.I have bidded for many things since then if i had known i wouldn't have!
I also ordered some dnky pj's they sent me the wrong size.So i rang them and they told me to send it back by royal mail and i would recieve the p&p back.Well i haven't.They have now told me i will not recieve any P&p money back as they were not faulty!They sent me the wrong size!So i have lost out on £10 all in for p&p and the pj's were only £17!
As if this wasn't bad enough i looked at my bank statement on the internet to see they have charged me twice for 2 of my orders.I rang them again to be told they have no record of this and if i want my money back i have to send them a copy of my statement they will then pass it on to the appropriate department who will then review it.Lets hope i don't go overdrawn between now and then.
I would recommend that if you do bid-up,make sure you don't have to return anything.All in all i recommend you steer well clear of bid-up tv.I will now sit in and await the pick up of my parcel.We can but hope!

Hmmm, I would be tempted to have a chat with your local Trading Standards Officer on this one.
As I understand it, goods supplied have to be "as described," "Of merchantable quality" and "fit for their intended purpose."
If they sent you the wrong size PJs then they are liable to refund your return postage plus any interest that that sum may accrue during the period of the delay. At the end of the day (quite literally!) they are not "fit for their intended purpose", which is to fit you.
BE AWARE... Sometimes Bid-up TV sells specific clothes in only one size - check this one out.

Good to hear your personal experiences, but I would have liked more info on Bid-up tv, how it works etc etc.

A good review. There are loads of these TV sales Channels. They work by sucking you in to the exitement. If you sit back and just watch, you can see that they have a price that they want to get the public to offer. Often there is only a few priducts avalabl and they will start talking to individual people by name telling them to up there bid. I personaly think that they should be banned for infringing peoples right not to be conned. Ive changed my mind your review it top class.
