Samsung NC10 Netbook (Blue) - €319.93 ** MISPRICE** [TheHut / SendIt]

Basq

Price seems to have gone up to €320 (for sterling and euro) now.

TheHut seem to be changing the prices of the NC10 daily.

Still not bad value at that though.

EDIT: Very odd pricing used:

Blue Model @ €319.93
Black Model @ €289.93
White Model @ €431.93

Its weak but its not 1:1.

Half the shops in Omagh give you 1:1- why not The Hut?

Look elsewhere on their site.. click the sterling price on a DVD, and then click the euro.

It's nowhere near 1.1... try and find one online shop based in the UK that gives you 1.1 - not a hope!

Hehe, I have been thinking about investing in a netbook for some time now, and I could not resist when I saw this machine on sale for €299 at TheHut - I had it in my basket at this price since early this morning and even though the price has gone up since, I got it including delivery for €301 .

That's wifey's christmas prezzie sorted, should be able to put the feet up now on Xmas day and bask in the appreciation of my considerable generousity! Of course the blue colour alone will be worth at least an extra half dozen mince pies.

BA comes up with the goods yet again!

HAPPY FECKING DAYS!

That give me some satisfaction seeing as i paid €370 for the white one.
Still very frustrating how it can drop €60 - €80 in 3 days.

Their prices are all screwy and had been shooting up and down. It'll shoot back up when they realise their mistake.

But whether they honour this mistake is another thing.

I say god dang thats cheap, okay, it's probably a mistake on their part, but still!

Just one thing guys, do they charge in GBP?

If so I'm guessing they will charge the GBP price and not the wonky € conversion to your card.

I'm tempted to order the blue one but I'd be fairly sure that is what will happen and it will be a mess to sort out.

I've had similar problems where a company charges you in sterling and then refunds you due to mistake on their part, you always loose a few €

You get your choice of currency. My order confirmation definitely shows: €301.18 as the price incl. of delivery. Time will tell.

blobert

I know that's what your order says, but I have a feeling (if they are like Sendit) that they only charge in GBP so they are likely to charge the GBP price and the fault is in their conversion rate.

Will order it myself now and see but I forsee problems:)

Edit: Ordered from Sendit.com for €319 to avoid theHuts €1 delivery surcharge, I'm guessing they are the same company?

Its only €18 of a difference- so its entirely plausible that they may honour the orders. Its not like they are at a totally unbelievable price? They don't charge your card until they actually ship- perhaps someone can let us know what happens?

Hmm, I hope they don't!!
Anyone that ordered before, was your credit card billed the EXACT same amount the order confirmation was in? (I'm guessing that the conversion rate used by the credit card company has a good chance of being different to the companies one).

I bought in GBP - £262 translated as €312 on my credit card statement.

Seems pretty accurate..

Just odered one-does it really take 5-8 days for them to despatch orders?

Thanks for the Heads Up on this offer

Well, I ordered it a week ago. And it's giving me an estimated despatch date of 18/12/2008! :mad

So if anyone gets theirs shipped befoe me, there'll be hell to pay!

PS - oh, TheHut will probably charge your card in the next 24 - 36 hours though.

What I'm saying is that they operate in GBP and charge in GBP so I think they will just charge the GBP price for this item to your card.

They are probably unaware that the curency converter on their site is having problems with this one product, I don't think it will effect they way they charge people. I know with OSCommerce you have a primary currency and which the system does all its calculations in, the conversions are a seperate thing and are far more prone to being inaccurate.

Hopefully it there is a problem one of the 1st people to be overcharged might let them know and it won't happen to everyone.

Will keep an eye on this thread.

I've been trawling through the terms and conditions on both thehut and sendit and can't find anything to explain how items are charged in relation to the euro price other that a mention than there may be bank charges which are the customers responsibility.

My order with thehut is listed as "Processing" my estimated despatch date is 08/12/08 so at least it looks like I'll be getting mine before you basquille!

parsi

Same here.

However until I see the €301 on my statement and the NC10 on my desk...

My status is 'Awaiting Stock Pick' and has been for the past 4 - 5 days!

All colours / models are now are available to buy at €319.93.

Thanks for the update, cancelled blue order and changed to black one.

Nonetheless I have a sneaking suspicion that I will be ordering from Dabs in 1-2 weeks:)

Worth a try anyway.

€60 cheaper, worth a very minor amount of worrying.

sonners

Blue one is now showing up at €431 and the white one is €319

Prices seem to be all over the place, I ordered the blue one for €319 earlier, hoping it comes through.

Thanks for this op, to anyone who thinks they may have missed it, I'd definitely keep an eye on the site, prices seem to have changed 3 or 4 times today alone so they may come back down again.

Seems to have disappeared off website now. A search for it reveales nothing for Samsung NC10.

They've two options - charge us the €301 as per the confirmation email or cancel our orders claiming there was an error.

This is like the great Kodak camera misprice a few years ago - if I get it I'll be happy and if I don't then I don't care !

I was finding it @ EUR319.99 with free delivery on www.saveonsamsung.com , but can't even get the site to open now

Edit: its here- http://www.saveonsamsung.com/Samsung_NC10_-_Black_451228.html but its £299.99 with free delivery....... they've changed it and doubled the memory to 2Gb- but its now £299.99

Edit- and now its back down to 1024Mb- but they've added the extra 1Gb in as a seperate option @ £34.99......

Basq

I was on that exact same Samsung site this morning and they were charging £319 (sterling) for it.. as I thought it's a bit weird for them to charge over the RRP (considering the name of the site is "Save on Samsung").

I'd say you saw the same price I did.. but thought it was in euro - as check out the site, all prices are stated in sterling. There's no seperate euro pricing indicated anywhere.

Prices for it seem to be going screwy everywhere.

Indeed, they can shove it up their arse if they are charging me more than the price I got confirmation of acceptance at.
In other news I'd prefer black over blue which i unfortunately ordered...
The general public... we is fickle bar stewards eh ? :pac::pac::pac:

Ha.. think there's not a whole lot they can do once a card has been charged. Pay it immediately..!

Was chatting to a rep from TheHut.com today... and he said they recieved a shipment in yesterday and it'll be despatched on the 2nd December - odds are ye'll be the same.

Ordered blue too.. but I read a few review sites that say the blue is the best looking of the bunch - because it's two tone (blue outer, black keyboard and inner)

ongarite

If your order has been processed and CC charged, why has all reference to the NC10 been removed from thehut & sendit?
If they were going to continue to sell it, they would keep it listed but out of stock I would imagine.

The links are not working anymore. cant find the product with a search either

Checked with my CC company this morning and they had first checked my card with a 1 cent charge then later put through a sale for €301.18, it's lookin' positive but like Shane says, until it's in my sweaty mits I won't bank on anything!

Lads..

Ye have it.. guaranteed!

As far as I know, there's little they can do once you card has been charged.
