I’m after a new iPad and HDUK had a link to these with rather good prices, link here, reckon it looks OK?

I’ve had a couple of CDs and a game from Rakuten – no problems

Rakuten, I’ve ordered loads of stuff going back years from back when it was play.com. Always been fine. The other one i’ve not heard of but as it appears to be within the Rakuten framework I’d be tempted to trust it.

That price is £1 more than direct from Apple or John Lewis. Nothing good about it at all.

Just buy it from Apple or John Lewis.

Are you sure Pete? A 16Gb iPad Air 2 is £399 at apple, you got a link to the £319 price?

Rakuten are big. They bought play.com

😳

Sorry false alarm

hmmmmmmmmmmmm, I think you should read some of the reviews, might explain why it is so cheap

“Excellent product, can’t find a cheaper price anywhere else! Thoroughly packed in a box with styrofoam and iPad wrapped in bubble wrap. Best place to buy one and it came the next day!”

As mentioned, they’re just what play.com became and I used to use them all the time.

Didn’t the change happen when these companies stopped being able to use the the channel islands as a tax haven of sorts? Play used to be cheap as chips.

Pete, that is exactly why I posted, my spider sense is going off but, you know, maybe I’m being overcautious, and it is a good price. Hmmmmm

“Didn’t the change happen when these companies stopped being able to use the the channel islands as a tax haven of sorts?”

Yes , exactly.

Ratuken? Isn’t that what the bloke shouts when you cast a fireball in Streetfighter II?

Never used them, but used to use Play extensively.

Rakuten is a massive Japanese retailer

Ratuken might be an imitator (I am not being sarcastic – are you following a legit link?)
