Do OCUK offer discounts

Hello,

Do OC Uk offer discount if you buy all the parts for your machine from them. Are there any discount codes I should be looking out for. They don't call me Bargain buddy for nothing lol.

I think you'll find the answer given is "all parts are pre-discounted for your convenience". Take a look at This Week Only offers though, some give quite decent savings.

TWO

Only discounts are in the form of 'this week only' special offers, and more recently 'this weekend only' offers.

2 weeks ago weekend delivery was normal delivery prices, and past weekend there was a whole bunch of items on sale.

If you are asking about '5% of total order' or something like that .... no.

You might get a discount if you phone up and order.

If you spend enough, then yes, they will discount. There was a thread where someone was having his credit card declined because he was trying to buy about £6,000 worth of PCs on one order and it 'broke' the old online ordering system. They offered a discount on that occasion.

So we just need to "break" the new online ordering system to get a discount ...

Yes, I can see how that could be an issue. I can't see you getting any discount from OcUK on that kind of spend. As the credit card companies take about 2% of the transaction as charges, you might be able to talk them into a 2% discount for cash?

I suppose I could just buy something thats £6k and see if the dicount I get is less then what I get charged by the bank for going over my credit limit (not likely lol

)

At 6k, wouldnt you be better buying from a technology distributor?

When I tried to buy the Ultima system for the incorrectly marked price of £400, they sent me an email with a survey to fill out followed by a "10% off your next order" discount code.
(Obviously this was after they cancelled my cheeky order)

So, using the discount code, I bought a £900 system. Of course.

willhub · 30 Jun 2008 at 17:54

At 6K would you not be better buying something else??? :eek:

Very unlikely - but you never know.

Don't ask and you don't get!!
