Pixmania - 08:27 30 Nov 07 Just following from Dan's 'money off affiliate post'. I was gonna buy my new monitor from them, and signed up and everything, but when it came to checkout I was being forced to buy an extended warranty type thing with it which put the price up another 20 quid, so watch out! !

Re:Pixmania - 13:30 30 Nov 07 Well, I shop online a lot, and I couldn't see a way to get rid of it. I guess it might have been part of the link I'd followed or something. ! Skate Monkey !

Re:Pixmania - 13:52 30 Nov 07 I just tried it direct and on a separate manchine, it's not the link.

You can remove it too, just click "find out more" and turn it off. You can delete the loyalty card extra as well. Very cheeky, I totally agree!! I have decided that most things in life really arn't worth it! What value does that give to life? - Twitter Status

Re:Pixmania - 18:00 30 Nov 07 Ah. You're obviously more adpet at these things than me. I really couldn't see how to do it though. I'm sure I tried all the links that were there, but no way to turn it off. It may have been disabled on my link 'cos I was following one and using a code that gave and extra 5 pounds discount.. !

Re:Pixmania - 23:16 03 Dec 07 Spoke to somebody earlier today who ordered a digital camera from Pixmania, complete with a free battery charger. (Not through our link.)

It would appear that the instructions supplied with the camera were all in French, and the charger was originally fitted with a continental plug, connected to a 13A UK plug adapter. The constuction was such that the charger then extended from the socket by about 6 inches, with the batteries hanging upside down ready to fall out. When he rang pixmania about the instructions, he was told he could download the English Manual online. (True but not very satisfactory.)

So it would appear that in this instance, they were grey imports intended for the French market only. Be advised.

Re:Pixmania - 00:02 04 Dec 07 This is actually the second time I have heard that products shipped from them have French cables and instructions so it looks like the warning signs are getting bigger!

I must admit I'm surprised as they are owned by Dixons. I have decided that most things in life really arn't worth it! What value does that give to life? - Twitter Status

Re:Pixmania - 12:38 04 Dec 07 Right, third strike and they are now out! Always good to head feedback on shops, I was probably going to buy something from them in the new year. I have decided that most things in life really arn't worth it! What value does that give to life? - Twitter Status
