dear sir or madam
i watch price drop tv reqular what i cannot figure out when you pay the lowest price you are not realy paying the lowest price you are really paying
postage and packaging on top so you are not really getting at a lower price come on price drop sort it out.fragrancelilySaturday 8 December 2007 7:09PM
Price drop and bid tv add the pp to the price of the final aution then you will see if it's really a bargain. Check the website for simular prices. Also some of the goods they sell cannot be found anywhere apart from bid up or price drop.
fragrancelily: I'm not sure if that's a complaint or endorsement? allanSunday 9 December 2007 8:35PM
These are sit-up channels part of Virgin media. Fragrancelily >Yes i kind of know what you are trying to get at if you see a jumper at £4.99 that seems like a bargain until you add £7.99p+p and remember the £1.50 for the initial call.
Remember if you watch these channels and order say to yourself is this a panic buy because the item is so cheap and do i need it.
Save £7.99 and £1.50 before you start.

non delivery of goods since november 20th, no letter sent out for refund money taken from my account up front, then trying to speak to customer service people is like being in another country as they don't speak very good english never again would i buy from them.williamWednesday 12 December 2007 8:44PM
where is my camera,iordered the parcel came it was empty some thief had taken it before it got to me ,try to get sense out of them .they employ foreign people who dont understand when you complain .no way will i ever buy from these cowboys again where,s my camera or my money back that was a xmas present ,is this a regular thingTina BadhesaFriday 28 December 2007 5:56PM
what a coincidence - ordered a xmas present 27/11 and still not recd - cant get thru to the line either - recorded messages etc. use less NickFriday 28 December 2007 8:27PM
I really would have nothing to do with these people. Apart from the extortionate postage and call charges that they add, there customer service is virtually non-existent. If you ever have a problem, it becomes a real problem because they won't help.
Some of Price Drop / Bid's products are ok. The prices are not bad even if you add on p+p. The only category in which the prices are high are with digital cameras. But anyway they belong to Virgin so it is their fault. When they send the wrong item or it is faulty and has to be returned, why do they not pay the cost of return postage.

They have a very misleadingly named customer services department that is utterly incapable of helping in any way when they mess it all up - which they seem to do frequently from what I can see.
If you do make the mistake of purchasing anything from them, be prepared for phone calls at any time between midnight and 2 am for the rest of your life which cannot be stopped by any means known to man.
I am having to change my phone number to escape these people. Mark: The TPS (Telephone Preference Service) can be used to block the calls you have. Please fill in their form Register with the Telephone Preference Service - and wait 30 days. What other problems have you had with the "customer service"? andreaSaturday 2 February 2008 10:14PM
I have bought lots of items from bid-tv and on the whole have been pleased with all my of the goods except the electrical goods that only seem to work for 3 or 4 weeks and when I rang customer services they dont want to help and the makers dont want to do anything when they know that you have bought the goods of bid tv .mike lawsonSaturday 9 February 2008 7:23PM
why do the presenters never tell you the delivery cost it is always just the price of the article for salemike lawson: Sadly, this is quite usual and legal. TiaMonday 11 February 2008 9:24PM
I am a very disatisfied customer of Bid TV / price drop TV.
Yes... certain items are very affordable... and many items are of very poor quality. Like the satins bedding....!!! They fray even before they get to the first wash.
The customer service is appalling and the refund process is time consuming.... often resulting in you making long phone calls that cost alot... and leave you out of pocket!
They do not have the call back proceedures in place, but they can call you to take payment!
If you think that writing will result in a cost effective way of resolving your issue.... dont even think it.... they do not reply! So you will have to call them anyway! I wrote them a letter... asking for my refunds and compensation for phone calls made.... they prefer to ignore!
Beware of the lure of cheap things.... they aint what they seem!
The only thing I have purchased from them of good quality is the Egyptian sheets and the duck down duvet and toppers.MarkFriday 15 February 2008 2:46PM
Briantist: I am registered with the telephone preference service and have been for some years and it does not stop price-droptv calling.
When I have pointed this out to their customer dis-service department - and pointed out to them that I believe continuously phoning someone in the early hours of the morning could be seen as harassment, they have pretty much told me that it is my problem and they can't stop it because they use automated dialers.
Richard CarrFriday 15 February 2008 7:24PM
You must re-register with the TPS every 12 monthsBriSunday 17 February 2008 1:48PM
We am having problems with them now (for the first time, after using their services for some years), a faulty electrical item that was returned costing us a fortune in return P&P, plus the original p&P charges to get the item here in the first place, and we've still not had the costs refunded to my account.
When i've tried emailing for feedabck etc i just keep getting the same automated email messages sent to me.
If this is there idea of customer service then i "WILL NOT" be using their services again (esp not after everything we've read on here matching the problems we're facing now).
If they want your money they should provide good service.
Bri: Sounds reasonable to me. norma clarkeThursday 21 February 2008 5:05PM
why do people in northern ireland pay a lot more postage for their purchases?
we are still part of Britain or are we paying taxes to another country?norma clarke: Only the state-owned Post Office is required to provide a UK-wide level of cost, other suppliers in the free market can set prices as they please. mrs c adamsonTuesday 26 February 2008 1:51PM

'Price Drop T.V.', 'Bid-Up T.V.' and 'Speed Auction T.V.' are ALL total Rip-Off Channels. The General Public should IMMEDIATELY stop purchasing items off these Channels to force them to close down. Their Postage And Packing Charges are a TOTAL Rip-Off (you cannot possibly justify charging £7.99 to send a ring through the Post)! This could be sent in a Jiffy Bag for 40p! As for £1.50 for the Call. It is a TOTAL SCAM! DO NOT BUY ANY MORE OFF THESE CHANNELS! CLOSE THEM DOWN!june hughesTuesday 1 April 2008 6:55PM
i have ordered two sets of sauce pans
in the last month, first one never came
as the courier couldnt find the house.
RUBBISH;i didnt know after waiting 12days, no apology my money was put back
in my account. ordered another set in good faith 13 days ago, customer services are useless, i am fed up with
them especially as i have been a very good customer
.june hughesjune hughes: Doesn't sounds too good. bob brownTuesday 8 April 2008 9:48PM
WELL....i used to like the channel !!!....then i was foolish enough to buy somthing.....they employ a cowboy outfit called HOME DELIVERY NETWORK to deliver their items....our goods......when they 1st delivered my item i was at work.....a card was put through the letter box.....so i called them......told them of a safe place to place my goods.......in a brown wheelie bin out the back.....did they.....NO!!!!!!!!...left with someone next door!!!....god knows who that was....they moved 2 weeks ago!!!.....and stolen items to the carrier seems an o.k. thing........this channel needs to take a good look at itself very soon and its carriers....thye are Crap!!!....no doubt this is now going to take ages to sort out!!!.....but my goods are still STOLEN!!!... I WILL NOT BUY FROM THEM AGAIN!! UNTIL THEY GIVE ASSURANCE ON AIR THEY HAVE A GOOD CARRIER......AND TRUST ME I WILL SPREAD THE WORD AROUND THE WHOLE OF THE SOUTH DERBYSHIRE AREA!!!!......ABSOLUTELEY PATHETIC SERVICE!!!!!BriantistWednesday 9 April 2008 7:14AM
bob brown: Thank you for your information. It is always disappointing when this kind of thing happens.jonSunday 13 April 2008 12:43AM
I have bought a number of things from Bid TV, Price Drop TV. Can't complain about delivery time between 3-7 days usually. But the postage costs are high especially for small items ( I recently bought 8 DVD box set for a present and was charged £7.99 postage charge - It cost me £2.92 to post by Royal Mail and the person received it the next day).
Customer services are really bad and you would be lucky if you get an English speaking person 9 out 10 times its someone who’s English is not the first language and it takes ages.
It took 3 weeks for them to refund my money back after they over charged me.
Lousy service
They say what great prices they offer, lots of the electrical items are not usually by top names and are the cheaper end of the market with over inflated start prices.
Cd box sets – starting from £70 or some stupid high price - often these box sets do not feature the original recordings and again on a cheap label – they never tell you this

I have bought a couple of items that were del crappo... but have bought hundreds that were great. The few times I have returned an item, I just post it back with the returns form, ring them up and tell them the postage cost, and hey presto I have always got a full refund, including my postage costs.
I bought all my xmas presents on bidtv, giving my daughter 40 pieces of jewellery, all were perfect, accept one..... a stone was missing on a watch, and I sent it back for repair, it did take a few weeks, but other than that, service was brilliant.
Most of my purchases are silver or gold, and I dont think you can go far wrong with these.
Hope you all get to be as happy as me with sit up channels.

The last time I bought diamond articles Watch and bracelet and had them valued the jeweler commented that each diamond was only valued between 50p - £1.He said its not the size or the quantity which adds the value its the quality.If they appear as shattered glass they are virtually worthless.Alan PatersonMonday 26 May 2008 12:59PM
Cardiff I am not sure if you will get this but it seems the only way that i May contact you as you do not reply to letters even when a stamped address envelope is enclosed. i did place an order on the 18/05/2008. i used the number for no call back but i still had a call the next day. i had to repeat my number 3 times but then i pointed out that i will not do it again and that i will cancel my order. i was then told that there is a problem with my card. i rang the card company right away and explained the problen i had. i was told that there is nothing wrong with my card and any problems is on the part of Price-drop i rang you back right away and could not get to you. every night until 26/05/2008 we had phone calls about midnight which was nothin more that harasment. my wife and i are disabled and the caller was a nuisance he would keep saying i dont understand you. today i rang you and again gave the same details again. i was then told that some would phone me back which they did. i was then told that my order will be sent with in 7 days. what i would like to know why did i get this problem with you. you can e-mail me or write my address is 25 roche crescent fairwarer Cardiff cf5 3py
i do hope that this time you reply to this e-mail and not ignore it as you did to my lettersAlan Paterson: Why not contact the company by telephone? 0870 166 6667 (calls charged at national rate).

Goods ordered January never arrived. Reported and refund promised no refund has been given. the service is unacceptable so much so that I would never order from you again. You have removed money from my account for goods that were never dispatched. If I were to do the same I would be arrested!! HarassedMonday 16 June 2008 2:04PM
All these people have one thing in common they ordered off the channel. Me.. I have NEVER ordered off the chnnel.I WILL NEVER order off the channel. They have somehow got the wrong number and keep calling me wanting to speak to Shirley. I'm a MAN!!!!!. For the first 8 times I informed them nicely that they have the wrong number. After that I started swearing and cussing them in hopes they would blacklist my number. on the 20th call ijust stopped talking. this was over the weekend (2 Days). Then they started to call at midnight!!!!. I have tried to explain that they have the wrong number, nicely and hashly but it dos not get through to them. I have had to disconnect my phone!! I will report this ABUSE to Watchdog and OFcom. This is HARRAssMENT and punishable by law. Harassed: If you do not want cold calls, just register with TPS TPS Registration - I'm no sure why you think this company would call you... John PFriday 27 June 2008 11:39PM
Why can,t I get ITV or C5 on freeview but have no problem with pricedrop tv. Get rid of these low quality channels freeing up valuable bandwith for channels everyone can watch.Dorothy RyderSaturday 28 June 2008 4:25PM

just thought i'd say that i've bought many things over the years from electrical to jewellery to clothes to bedding and every item has been delivered within 5 days. all have been good quality and all are still in good condition. as for the postage if you think it's high then don't buy!! it does state the postage costs on screen so you cant really complain can you?

Great products keep up the good work & did Steve & sue enjoy the night at the agaton social club on Saturday.kathyFriday 19 September 2008 4:16PM
I have been buying from sit up channels for years now, and have never had any bother with delivery, had to return a couple of things but always got refunded, and postage refunded as well, i know the delivery charge is high, but I have saved so much money over the years t still seems so very much worth it, keep up the good work
happy customernadineThursday 2 October 2008 1:50AM
customer service when they call you back to take yr details is appalling. If there is one thing they cannot respond to that is written on their screen then they say ill call you back and hang up.. no sorry.. nothing can be done. They cannot even understand you..
Im fed up with this country using call centres in foreign countries. nadine: Non-UK call centres keep the prices down, don't they? Mila WhalleyThursday 2 October 2008 10:13AM
