    Wink Scan caught cheating on Hexus!

    OMIGOD, I thought it was bad enough to share your love with AVForums, but Bit-tech too?!

    Good luck with the the world domination though - free shipping often swings the price in your favour I find.

    I thought they used to give free delivery for bit tech forumites before too?

    Re: Scan caught cheating on Hexus!

    I noticed that, made me laugh.

    I'm waiting for people to start registering on both forums to have a go from two directions simultaneously

    And yeah, apparently it's more of a "re-teaming up" than anything else.

    Thanks for the heads up.

    From the page:
    ". Firstly, free delivery! You need to be a registered user of our forums (that's free, of course), and have made 20 posts. Once that's done, make sure you're logged in to your account on Scan, and then click here to activate free delivery for your orders.

    Note that the free shipping only applies to orders over £20 and only to the UK mainland. However, if you are outside the UK mainland, Scan will discount the standard shipping charge of £6.99 from the total carriage charge."

    So you don't HAVE to make ongoing posts to keep the free delivery after the initial 20 there?

    You don't here either AFAIK.

    for all intents it seems to be the same card minus some gays name on it and a shielded cover ? with OEM added to it - GoNz0.

    Re: Scan caught cheating on Hexus!

    I wonder if the expanse of attractive delivery deals has anything to do with Aria becoming quite prominent ?
