EXPIRED - Blade Runner Blu Ray from Tower.com
POSTED BY: sparc 6 months, 3 weeks agoThis deal was listed yesterday and had 404+ rating.
It's missing from my comment history since I replied and doesn't come up in search.
Where and why has it gone?

Yeah. If you do a search for a voucher code for Amazon here you're offered the choice of all the worldwide Amazon sites, so I agree with sparc. I don't see how this is any different. It's not as if Amazon is a UK-based company. Anyway, I'm glad I saw the Tower thread whilst it existed as some of their Blu-Ray prices were excellent
 [EDIT] OK, so I've just read the FAQ under what's not allowed 7. Non-UK sites (excluding a few major sites, pre-approved by admin) so could we not allow Tower.com? It's not some dodgy site, it is a major retailer. We are totally and utterly shafted in the UK when it comes to things like Blu-Ray, not only on pricing but also on what we get for our money. In the UK you get a 2 disc set for Blade Runner and you'll be charged about 15 quid (EDIT: make that 17.59, I just checked!), in the US it's a comprehensive 5 disc set and it's only £8.50 for international delivery! Surely we should encourage quality international sites, especially with the strong pound, so that we in the UK get the best deals? Last edited by rikky : 13-06-2008 at 08:15. |

It was removed as it's a non-UK site...  |

hottoshop:
Seems to me like they have as much justification to be listed as any other US or International Company ?? With UK sites it's a case of allowing them, and then making a decision on each one about whether or not it should be allowed to stay.With non-UK sites, we don't allow any and then we make decisions on which are to be allowed. As you can see, it works the opposite way. 
Mecoconuts:
Neither is Dealextreme.com (in Hong Kong) and there's loads of threads for them ??
The removal of this post wasn't saying that we're never going to allow Tower.com deals... maybe someone should start the relevant thread here in feedback in order to get some experiences and then we'll take a look and decide whether or not to revise our policy on Tower.com stuff... Hope that helps. **EDITS BELOW** (a little bit like the post "Appendices" - not very important but worth a read for some clarification) Here is the DealExtreme feedback thread, which led to them being allowed on here: DealExtreme Feedback It's also worth noting the advice given by Admin about the DealExtreme stuff:
:
I think if it's a great deal then sure but if it's posting small items for fractionally less than a domestic merchant then it's not really recommended.
:
Dealextreme is obviously not Amazon or Apple or Dell league and yes there is going to need to be feedback from members on them. Second, as noted the Apple post as well as Amazon.de postings were for non-generic items that were not available in the UK. There's a difference between listing a site for deals on generic items available here in the UK and items like a Wii or iPhone which are not.
:
I think there's enough positive feedback and people using it to post good offers for it. The bar is higher though for these sites do remember! as it is more risk so has to be a really good offer etc.
duckmagicuk2:
No, Admin means the STANDARD of deal should be much higher. e.g. if a 100% trusted merchant has it for £100 and deal extreme has it for £97 we may as well stick with the one we trust, that isn't affected by customs charges and that has to follow UK rules on distance selling. So yeah, we're accepting them. But we want them to be EXCEPTIONALLY HOT deals.
