Pixmania UK have the blue NC10 (no other colours) in stock for £278 inc VAT +£9.30 delivery http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/2022974/art/samsung/nc10-blue.html
There is a £5 promotion code here http://www.pixmania.co.uk/uk/uk/best-deals/cmr1_cmp2092_cm.html?srcid=369So the total was £282.30. Delivery in 2-3 days by Currys Home Delivery (Pixmania are owned by DSG International – Dixons/Currys/PC World)
Admin:There is a pix voucher deal on at the moment details here. Finishes in a few days.
I had a very bad experience with them last year and so wouldn’t touch them myself, but that’s a good price .
Though they are owned by DSG group, I believe they are actually based in France so as to keep prices low (but they do promise you won’t get stung by customs charges). As such, I wouldn’t rely too much on 2-3 days delivery being accurate, especially as it’s taking even longer than that for people who order direct from Currys at the moment.
I’ve had a bad experience with them too but it was about 8 years ago so shouldn’t really use that as evidence of them being rubbish. That price is very good too…. if only I had the money waiting
And remember that we can only report back our own experiences which is fair enough but writing off a company on one experience is not really fair and potentially defamatory. That said I have read about people having occasional issues around manuals and things not being in English in the past although I understand power cables are supplied for the correct location just fine.
I have bought from them 2 or 3 times and they were perfect 🙂
Okay, I’ll be the crash test dummy for this offer. Just ordered for £282.30 delivered so I will report back in no more than ‘2-3 days’. I had initially been after a black one but the blue will do for the price.
Let’s hope my experience is more Jez than Becky.
jez, hope I didn’t come across defamatory in my post, I just wouldn’t buy from them myself. 🙂
mother – I’m sure everything will go smoothly for you and look forward to hearing about your bargain buy in a few days. They were a little slow to deliver for me (took about a week I think) but my biggest issue with them was support-related and hopefully that’s something you won’t need to touch on anyway. 🙂
I’ve ordered a lot from Pixmania in mainland Europe and not had any problems. However they don’t offer computers with English keyboards/OS so I’ve had to order from Pixmania UK. Hopefully there won’t be any problems as I’m only in the UK for a short time this month.

[/quote1228251309]Oh that’s fine, no worries, when I look at some of the things people write on high profile boards I wonder why I worry. But when I look into the legal advice everyone is like “oh you have to be very careful”. I need to relax lol.
I think companies would do well to remember that it takes one bad experience to put a customer off forever. Especially in the UK where we stereotypically vote with our feet rather than complain!
Had somebody phone me today to validate my order… He sounded French… “Should be with you in three days Ros Beef. Haw haw haw”
Well it arrived last night, 1 day later than it should have but for £282 delivered I can live with that. Good Pixmania experience, I even got an email from them on Saturday apologising that it would be delivered a bit late.
Mine also arrived yesterday – and there was an e-mail on Saturday apologising for a delayed delivery due to a “technical incident”! Was yours from the Chelmsford DHL centre as well?
did you get UK style keyboards with these Pixmania netbooks?
I can get a white one for £304 delivered at mo with voucher, which seems to be cheapest right now
