Various new account codes (they don't stack)

WNTFTWCTB £10 off £50 code

CATNNSLCJM £18 off £60 code

NBMMFA2 £20 off £100

NBMMFAF £15 off £60

The Five Stages of Opportunist Resellers......

Stage 1. Pre Purchase Calculation.

It's only £50 and worth £100, and I can sell the Office Licence separately to make another £25-£30. I'll make £80 clear profit easy.

Stage 2. Expectation.

I have to get it and get it listed on E-Bay as quickly as possible. I know, I'll spend 30 minutes finding out where they have stock and then drive there and collect to be sure. So in total I'll spend maybe 90 minutes getting all my ducks in a row....but I'm sure to make £80 easy.

3. Hope.

OK....Got it and had a quick play...not sure what all the excitement is about. Had a few problems extracting the Office Licence key...took a couple of hours in the end. But got it done. Took some photos so my listing looks good, by the time I'd done a decent non generic listing with my own decent photos took half an hour. Listings up and looks good, can't wait till Sunday evening when I'm bound to sell it for £80.

Stage 4. Reality.

"What the frack!!!, There's bl**dy loads of these listed now and prices seem to be dropping fast". My auction eventually closed at £55 and I only got £20 for the Office Licence as well. Oh well I suppose £75 is better then nothing as I'll still make £35. I'll pack it up and take it to the Post Office tomorrow.

Stage 5. Depression.

Forgot about the E-Bay and Paypal fees, in total that came to a tenner across both of the auctions....and another quid for packing it up and packing material. Took me half an hour waiting in the Post Office to get it posted on top of the half hour packing it up. Looking back I probably spent a couple of quid on petrol collecting it as well. So have to knock £13 off my profit of £35...so made £22 altogether. Hang on though, I spent nearly four and a half hours doing all this...to make £22........that's less then minimum wage!!


Frack!!!!

I'm buying mine to use as a paperweight

£18 off your first online shop when you spend £60 or more at Sainsbury's with Code CATNNSLCJM. I've just ordered mine with some household shopping at £42.50 all in!!! :smiley:

Various new account codes (they don't stack)

WNTFTWCTB £10 off £50 code

CATNNSLCJM £18 off £60 code

NBMMFA2 £20 off £100

NBMMFAF £15 off £60

Hot!

£18 off your first online shop when you spend £60 or more at Sainsbury's with Code CATNNSLCJM. I've just ordered mine with some household shopping at £42.50 all in!!! :smiley:

​how do I edit to change the price to £40 with the code please?

also in store in reedswood walsall but it says £75 on shelf as i had a customer buy one the other day :smiley:

hmm, whether to bite again, got rid of my last linx8, but at less than £40 potentially with a £60 spend, seems worth it I suppose

Now the golden question...DO THEY STACK?

I have booked a slot for Monday night for delivery. All in for £41!

What I mean is I don't live within 70 miles of a Sainsburys and 68 of those miles is salty water, so they don't deliver. But.....can they POST things via the mail?

EDIT: no, they don't, just did a postcode search.

No they dont

The one code that does stack with the new account code is for some Parampara Spice mix - FREEPARAMK

http://www.sainsburys.co.uk/shop/gb/groceries/get-ideas/features/features/free-parampara-spice-blend

Only a £1.06 discount, so still 44p to pay for the Parampara

​Thank you

This deal has already been posted and around 1200 degrees, why the repost?

Can't find where to put the code? Help please

Thank you found it

Random, the Sainsbury's description clearly states it being a 32gb unit but which seems a bit odd!
There's no mention of any type of hdmi out, is that something missing from the description or does this particular unit not have it?

If the code expires today, does the order need to be collected today or delivered today for it to still be applied?

This was originally posted at £50, now the header has been amended it is fine....stellar deal, wasn't really complaining just wondering why a repost...better now it has all been amended.

shame they don't deliver to Dumfries

Ye true, happy if it all comes off, stores have stock etc, here's hoping

Added 7 packs of 80 decaf tea bags, so with delivery I get the tablet and 560 teabags and the tablet for £43.50!
(Yes, we drink a lot of tea!)

can anyone confirm it has a hdmi out? and seeing youtube videos showing sky go and bt sport working on it? is this just make believe or does this work? can it cast sky go?

1 tablet and 2 packs of Stella, cheers. :wink:

Great deal :smiley: Just ordered with 16GB Micro SD will go well with this only class 4 but still a good still. Used £18 code and total was £43 delivered. Thanks OP :smiley:

ended up cancelling the order, my delivery was due for tomorrow. I called the store who had already allocated last two for delivery today.

Additional info about Sainsbury's online click and collect, I did find a store who had 1 item remaining but even if I used click and collect the order would have arrived at that store from another store. This means I couldn't use the voucher and then click and collect, bit strange how this all works.

Anyway either way I still think this was a good deal as people obviously did get a delivery from multiple stores :smiley:

Ordered !! Thanks.

awesome deal,ordered!!!!!!! along with 2 steaks,milk and crisps usin the 18 code,43 delivered,now thats a great deal,cheers for repostin this offer along with code offers :stuck_out_tongue:

Will this be upgradable to Windows 10? I don't really need a tablet but at this price I'm sorely tempted! I was looking at one of the Chuwi models Hi10), but it's 3 times the price - then again it has 4 times the RAM....

The micro HDMI leads in my local Poundland are with the phone accessories.

Can this be upgraded to Windows 10?

Thank you - great deal with £15 essentials £42 delivered

Great deal if it comes off. I suppose you would be relying on there being stock in whichever store delivers to you.

Tempted but owned one of these before, for me though a 8" windows tab is too small to be of real use. great price though.

office 365 still available with this?

1gb ram?

Thanks OP and chanci - added code for £20 off £100 spend, so got free delivery as well, plus a bunch of nappies so won't need to carry those home from the shop for a couple months. : )

is office 365 activated instantly as you turn on and log in? Can I delay activation?

Free Win10 upgrade?

If you already have Office 365 you can extract the license key and either add to an existing subscription or sell

How to Extract Office 365 license key from a new Linx Tablet :sunglasses:

I have one of these and it qualifies for a free Windows 10 upgrade. I have tried running the installer a few times and it's always crashed so it's not a straightforward upgrade, at the moment at least.

It has been done and there's videos online but I haven't had a chance to do it yet.

What are the chances of anyone actually receiving the tablet.

It relies on your local store having stock - which is not very likely given the offer has been running a while.

Ordered two yesterday for click and collect today - £80 for both with £20 off code. Will install kodi on one of them.

Absolutely stunning deal. Got the Linx 7, bought the Micro HDMI to HDMI lead and the OTG/power hub, just waiting for an Ethernet to USB lead and already upgraded to Windows 10. Brilliant bit of kit.

Thanks for the great deal OP!

To those who are thinking about upgrading this to Windows 10 - don't. Apparently the 1GB of ram struggles with it and you'll only slow your device down.

i followed this link and installed 10 on a dell, this may work.
i did a later reinstall too.

Ordered two, thanks OP

Just, does this have headphone hissing like the linx 7 did IIRC?

Great! I have been waiting for such offer! Just ordered, but I am wondering if this tablet can do some office works... It just has 1G ram... We will see...

Brilliant! thanks OP

Is this Africa?

True, offer been on for a while. Stocks probably low or gone. Just because it lets you order doesn't mean they have any. Just like ordering any other grocery. Still, look on the bright side, if it's out of stock they may substitute it with an iPad :laughing:

Thanks. Ordered one plus 16gb micro sd for £43 delivered. Will give it a go and if no good will take back.

Showing a £100.00/unit £100.00/ea on line in Scotland :-(

Can showbox and mobdro be downloaded on these tablets

32Gb definitely has no problem installing windows 10....I just upgraded my linx 7 (also 32Gb) without problems installing windows 10. No external drive needed. 16Gb may have problem but 32Gb is absolutely fine.

Ordered to collect in store and had a phone call at 10:10 saying they have none in stock! ffs - what a rubbish system.

How do you extract Office 365 subscription to sell on?
Clicked the link above and it doesn't give clear instructions.
Anyone help in that department?
Also worried about updating to Windows 10, so again, simple steps would be good.
Thanks.

Ordered one, Cheers OP.
Going to try it as a Sonos controller :smiley:

Just ordered one for delivery to store tomorrow afternoon - lets see if I get a phone call later to say NO STOCK

EliTom

Good tablet, just don't upgrade it to Windows 10. Facebook freezes all the time for me on the Edge browser :/

For anyone wondering if you can charge this AND power a USB device at the same time...I did this guide for the linx 7 a while back, a few people have now said this device is a rebranded Linx 7 so it should be the same method.

I have this cable:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/271641277647?clk_rvr_id=826365108815&rmvSB=true

And I did this:

1) Plug 4 port cable into USB on tablet, with the switch set to data and keyboard plugged into one of the data ports.
2) Boot to BIOS - Hold DEL key as soon as you see the LINX logo.
3) Navigate to the Chipset menu using the arrow keys on your keyboard
4) Select the South Bridge option (it goes white when selected)
5) Press Enter
6) Select 'USB Configuration'
7) Press Enter
8 ) Select 'USB OTG Support'
9) Select PCI mode from the popup menu
10) Press Esc twice to get back to the main menu
11) Select "Save Changes and Exit"
12) Let the tablet boot into Windows, it didn't appear to be working once in Windows, so I shut down and restarted Windows and after loading back up I am now charging and able to use a USB device simultaneously!!!!!

I am able to unplug a USB device and re-connect it without issue while in Windows. Bear in mind it will only power one USB device and charge the tablet at the same time.

Haven't had a phone call yet. If I get there tomorrow and they haven't got any I'll tell em where to shove their cans of Stella. :smiley:

Is the £18 limited to one household? I created a new account but it didn't allow me. £10 off worked though

Had my phone call this morning to say out of stock after ordering for click and collect. What a waste of time, Sainsbury's stock control must be appalling

Can this upload a Kindle reading app?

Anyone know if you can put android on this?

Can u put showbox and mobdro on these

Thanks for the info

It's a shame they don't have the 10" Linx deal online.

The bistro meal deal takes the order to £60 nicely....for the £18 off (£6 meal/£6wine and £3.50 dessert for £10)....I'll drink to that!

​why don't u use chromecast instead?..you'll never need cables

Great deal, ordered 2! Spent £100 and £20 off first order, free delivery as well :-D

this one is 8inch and 1gb ram. its almost become useless for me after few weeks of usage

SkyGo doesn't have Chromecast compatibility hence why I guess using hdmi to connect up. If there's a chromcast workaround for SkyGo and the sky movies apps i'd love to know as my chromecast just sits in its box most the time

Purchased with code for 41 pounds,,Just opened box and booted up frozen on start up Region and Language..Looks likes going back ,, tried resetting.. Any Known Issues ..Packaging looked unopened when picked up

Purchased

ordered thanks and used code for £18off. just hoping it arrives....get a feeling ill get my few other items and a delivery note saying item unavailable for tablet.....

Excellent.

Ordered along with groceries, with the £18 voucher! Hopefully it will arrive.

Thanks

thanks Op. ordered one for 40.

would this make an okay desktop for just using Microsoft office and light internet plugged into a monitor? can USB hubs be attached?

got it. hot!

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=uuH63G_9ay4

Seems straightforward...

Anyone else has any issues updating?

Still need help extracting the Office subscription...

Thanks.

Thankyou. . ordered with 16gb sd card for £42 delivered.. Is the 12 month office package pre installed or can it be put on another device..

heat!

Wonder if you an flash android on it

I don't have a lot of faith with this order. After unticking No Substitutes, you get a message about if it's not in stock in the local store at the time the order will be cancelled.

Prefer Tesco Direct for online orders.

I'd get a chuwi hi8 plus over this. £20 more but 4gb ram, new Intel atom z8300 chip, higher resolution screen....

This or the Lenovo A8?
Got the Lenovo A8 for £49, this is £41 (delivered).
Pros and cons for both...

Ordered for delivery in the morning, Will sainsburys contact you if they have no stock? Or will they just deliver without it?

Anyone know if this will run football
Manager 2016 touch?

This is definitely not a re-branded linx 7. The uefi is quite different for a start.
There's no need to do anything in the bios on the linx 8 to enable charge and usb use - there are threads devoted to it on the linx forum - basically it's a case of buying the right usb hub or hacking a cable.
There are also plenty of threads about bricked linxes because people have messed about in the uefi - it's really not needed on the 8.

got it. heat

If you follow the link in post 47, it will take you to the Lynx forums. To be able to read some of the posts, you need to join the forums, from there you will get the required info on how to extract the key.(you may have to read a few posts)

As for Upgrading to Win 10, My Linx 7, did it with a couple of key presses after I download it. If you don't like it, it gives you the option to revert back to 8.1 within 14days(i think it is)...If you decide to stick with 10, you can then remove the backup of 8.1....I extracted my Office 365 key before upgrading to 10.

"1 x Linx 8" 32GB Windows 8.1 Tablet - Total Price £50.00
30 x Cadbury Creme Egg 40g - Total Price £10.00"

hmmmmmmm...

My 8 was fine too. But if the installation hangs putting win8.1 back on is a complete PITA. Anyone doing it should back up first - you can use windows tools, macrium reflect free works well (acronis doesn't) - ideally do both.

cheers op, think I'm finally tempted :smirk:

Then they can take it all back and shove it. :laughing:

Think others have more or less answered your question but yes you can upgrade to Windows 10 - done it via Windows Update with a few Linx variants now.

From reviews, many are disappointed with the new Cherry Trails (they still appear to run rather hot) - I did a deal for a Chuwi Hi10 in the wee small hours but Dealsmachine aren't allowed on HUKD currently. Gearbest are about the same price anyway http://www.gearbest.com/tablet-pcs/pp_244802.html £119.65

Chuwi have just released a Hi12 (same display specs as the Surface Pro 3) and Vi10 Ultimate, another 64GB Cherry Trail with 10.6" screen.

If I'm going to upgrade my Linx 10 I may hold out for a decent Core M tablet.

No idea about Sky Go as I only have council telly :smile:! Mind you myk83 says "I use my tablet a lot for watching Sky Go videos through the HDMI output" (post #6) http://www.linxtablet.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=16&t=349#p4102

Also http://www.linxtablet.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=1180 Seems Silverlight makes it struggle somewhat?

What are people buying these for? Honest question....

Ordered & should be delivered tomorrow, however just been in my local store & out of stock! Doubt it I'll get it tomorrow. I believe quite few people will be disappointed.

Venturing into the world of tablets for the first time. I don't expect state-of-art performance, but at this price I don't think you could do any better.

Perfecto:)100%bargain baught with sainsburrys code very happy

I've just bought this but does it upgrade to win 10

Going to be interesting to see how well this runs Kodi compared to my Fire Stick / MXQ Box

Going to be interesting to see how many people can get it delivered

Ordered and heat added. Does anyone know if you can cancel your entire shop without visiting the store if they don't have the tablet?

I ordered with £10 off £50 at first till I seen the £18 off £60
Cemented first order and ordered again with 3* 16 box Ferrero Rocher
Thx op

Should I upgrade from the Linx 7 I bought like 1-2 months ago... :confused:

ordered one with 4 g10 led bulbs for £47 ,these are great at running VCDS diagnostic software

Sainsbury did not give me the option to add code giving a further £10 off the Linx 8" I registered a new account. Any suggestions as there office is closed now until the morning.

£43 :smiley:

Nice! Thank you OP. Ordered 2 with the CAT voucher :smiley:

Can i format this and put android on it?

Anyone know of good original cases for these ?

No just wiping it and sticking an android os on it

Windows store have kids games like Toca Boca?

Tyvm op. Needed to renew my office 365, now have this, new towels and LED light bulbs for 47gbp delivered! Best bargain for ages!

Is this possible, any links you can share?

Do you want to know the ending?

Does it have a microphone and earphone socket and usb ?

Just ordered this & a £20 Russel Hobbs black toaster for £53 delivered, cheers OP.

Amazing deal! Ordered

Took a punt, used the £18 off code. Can't complain really as I got 15 beers to boot! £43 all in :sunglasses:

Has anyone ran kodi on this? If so how does it perform?

no. please no. I'm on a 1/3 of it. lol.

Would you be able to put windows and android on it?

Can't find the exact posts but yes this runs sky go fine and it outputs via hdmi to a tv. It also works ok with win 10 - although I did have some issues with Bluetooth.

cheers - very useful info

thanks to OP - just ordered

£50 Tablet + £11 shopping less £18 voucher = £43 bargain! Many Thanks for the posting!

As hot as the Amazon Fire £35 Black Friday deal ! A no brainer buy!

Wish I had never discovered HUKD. Thats another Tablet to add to my collection. Thanks Beeb123. Use the £18 code not the £10. Great deal but beware of upgrading to Win 10. My other Linx has never been the same since. Linx customer support advise against it. Check the forums for support before you do.

Thanks for the post. Might as well add the 8in tab to the 10in I've just recently bought too especially with the £18 off £60 for first time customers... :smile:

Install bluestacks on machine with 1gb ram and/or no GPU

It works but can be laggy depending on android app your using.

Regards
Flea

So you can have both on the tablet then ?

I have bought a Linx 7 at Black Friday and now i'm buying this :disappointed:

Seek help !

I am.having same problem.....hotukdeals has saved me money but also made me want to buy things I dont need......we now have total of 6 android tablets & 3 Windows tablets.
Although I recently bought myself a Acer W4 for just £99 (2gb of Ram and 64gb of memory).....I still feel the need for this x (8 days too late to take mine back)

mcormack your such a P. Hope you get banned in due course. The comment was jovial and the Linx makes for a great present. I am sure your such a tight a....d so and so you would never have considered the possibility. Great post Beeb123.... just about as cheap as it gets

There's a HUKD anonymous meeting in my town. Has more members than AA

Thanks Op....now the wife is gonna kill me for buying another tablet on top of the 4 we own between us. Couldn't resist it though....

Packaging :
Loose !!!!
So this unit comes without the original box?
Still worth it ?

Can you stream Xbox one games to these and connect a controller? I know there's a version that comes with a built in controller but that's £150, if this can do it then I'll definitely buy this :smile:

tried to resist... but couldnt for this price... with the £18 off code
my Aus Memopad HD7 from Tesco 2 year ago was starting to get very slow and recently died .. (may need to open up and disconnect/reconnect battery i believe) but for £42 couldnt really say no (along with a spare 32GB SD card that'll come in handy for the modded Wii)

as long as i can stack the Office code i'll be happy, as i got a year of Office 365 when i bought my Lumia phone... though i never really need/use the Office apps.. the skpe 60 mins/month could be usefull once i have a tablet.

Not bad - even cheaper than the half price sale a year ago at Staples.

As an entry into Windows tablets, this is a great option. But keep in mind that 8" is quite small - too small for running Windows Programs. And the Windows App store is still very empty, especially for tablets (unlike on Android, phone apps are not supported!). And in terms of browsers, you are pretty much stuck with IE or Edge - Chrome does not run well on only 1 GB of RAM.

So it is not a great tablet, but the best you can get for the money.

Ordered, click and collect tomorrow @ sainsburys Bamber Bridge.

Reviews for this device are excellent.

I'm beginning to think just about every Hotukdeals member has a Linx tablet now :innocent:

I have delivery in the morning, but on checking click and collect.....nearest store that has it is 50 miles away.....will they still deliver?

oh i'd been so good and only fallen for the haagen daz at heron this weekend....oh well, I didn't need this...but it will be here between 530 and 6pm on Wednesday :confused:

It is to replace my Hudl 2 which I gave to a relative, just before they discontinued the model....any idea how these compare?

Couldn't resist, not sure I even need it! Heat from me.

got the 10 inch version in the staples doodahh last year, bought the 8 as I was very impressed with it .... plus free scran ... no brainer !

This doesn't work on Linx 8.

To get into the UEFI on the Linx 8 you need to hold UP VOLUME and POWER, then let go of the POWER while still holding the UP VOLUME.

There is a menu under the Advanced that shows USB configuration, that has OTG Support with a PCI option in it. But if this is selected, the cable does still not charge and have OTG access at the same time. If the switch is on one way it lets you have power only, if the switch is the other way it lets you have USB only.

Unless my cable is different from yours (looks identical).

Regards
Flea

I'll be interested to see how many people actually get their tablets via click-and-collect tomorrow. As mentioned, I was let down today with a phone call telling me there was no stock despite being able to place the order. Made various phonecalls to head office who said they had some in stock in another store - went to that store and turns out they had none! Sainsbury's really has lost me as a shopper. I'll be sticking to Tesco's.

I use one of these (though mine's the earlier version). Works fine without doing anything in the bios / UEFI.
I also have a hacked usb y cable that works.
The 7 and 8 have completely different UEFIs.

Sorry if it was mentioned already. Is the office pre-installed or we can extract the office key and use it on another PC or tablet?!
I sold the 1 yr office subscription which came along with my Linx 7 and the nett price of the tablet was then less than £20 :smiley:

oh yup I tried that as well but eventually I gave up as my tablet was totally frozen while opening up bluestack lol.

added a £10 xbox gift card total £61 total to pay £43!!! HOT HOT HOT!!!!

ok. Thank you!

You might try using Razor Cortex: Game Booster. Add Bluestacks as a game and run it through there. It disables a lot of unneeded processes/services and frees up RAM before running the application.

Razor Cortex: Game Booster. can be used on any low resource unit to try and help get a little better performance from games/apps.

Flea

I'm collecting tomorrow between 11am - 12pm, no phone call so far.

I'll be pretty **** if I get there and they say it's out of stock and didn't bother notifying me.

It says "LOOSE PACKAGING"!! On the description!!!!!

WHAT'S THAT SUPPOSED TO MEAN???!!!

Also, if it turns out they can't deliver because it's not in stock will my card not be charged until they've dispatched it, like with Amazon?

It's nothing to be concerned about.

In theory I am doing a click and collect tomorrow at 10AM - however I can change my order up to 11pm this evening which means they aren't picking it until then so I don't suppose they will realise there is no stock until then - no doubt if there were any instore they have probably sold for £50 today.

Im expecting a delivery today between 6.30pm and 7.30pm of 2 tablets but have not had any messages from Sainsburys

Are these upgrade able to Windows 10? Also why is there a 40p carrier bag charge applied to my order? Thanks

Unless you gave them your mobile phone number you would not...I would look at whether you have in your account first.

Decent price, £9 cheaper than I paid in 2014, still £99 in store at Ripley's sainsburies. Wonder if it will get a cherry trail update in the next 5 years....

Yes.

Yes, my mobile number is in my account details

Great price. Disaster of a website though - wouldn't lookup 2 postcodes if billing and delivery address are different and then had to fight to get billing address entered. doesn't accept commas etc. inline with the address.

FGS - Tesco and Sainsburys sites seem to both be designed by ten year olds - should just allow free form entry of addresses as some of us have strange ones to enter.

Have not a clue then, it gives me the option to opt out of text messages by sending the word 'optout' to 63333 but looks like I am automatically registered to receive message updates with my order.

Nice bluetooth and mouse combo..works well and is probably a good idea..if your fingers are not nimble..

Check your bank balance, money would of been taken by now

roasting this one!

Site has crashed, must be all the HUKers on there!

Are the given collection points according to postcode the actual delivery stores close to you ?

My nearest one is 23 miles away so I can't see a delivery from there on a near 50 mile round trip.

Nothing showing as coming out or pending, not looking good then

Trying to log into account and coming up with a technical error on mine, tried chrome, IE and Safari!

Is this better than my kindle hdx

Chrome here & fine.

keep us updated in an hour or so !!!

EliTom

Thanks for the post, ordered one. Anyone know cable needed for HDMI connection?

Where do you put the discount code?

The countdown is on.

E-coupon box.

e voucher? it wont let me write in the box

Can you use the discount codes along with Nectar voucher codes?

Cut n paste it in.

Tried, it wont let me highlight it with 2 browsers

If youre having it delivered, you need to pick a delivery date / time before you can add the code

Just logged into my sainsburys account and it still shows my order, no sign of a cancellation

:laughing: thanks

Hope you get it mate, even if only 1 person does then that is good enough.

Thanks very much. Tablet, half price bedding in sale, £46 all in. Bargain.

Tablet and half price bedding. £46 all in. Thanks very much.

Two minds to buy I have 2 iPads could this come in any use?

Cheers mate, I will keep everyone updated if they come or not

Just got one for the girlfriend at £40 using the below code. Thanks!

WNTFTWCTB £10 off £50 code

tried ordering was shown £100 @ checkout. Phoned help desk and they told me change date to nearer one (wed) It brought price down to £50 put some dog food in basket to take over £60 Checked out at £42.50. :smile:

Just wondering if it is actually possible to do a clean install of android on this?

please be aware, putting your order in does not guarantee you are getting what you've ordered. it all depends if your local store has it jn stock on the day that you want it delivered. I've had a total nightmare with this over the past 2 weeks trying to get psplus and PlayStation vouchers

To all those asking questions, it can be upgraded to windows 10 although takes some time, also after upgrading make sure you run disk cleanup and remove the previous windows version this will free up 8gb. You can run any program you can run on any pc (memory and disk allowing) Hdmi works fine and can be set up as an additional screen or screen mirroring. Bluetooth keyboard and mice work fine. You can also stream the display via miracast or stream media files via dnla. One year Office 365 one year subscription and one drive 1tb is included and can be activated anytime before June 16th. Xbox one streaming and NVidia streaming works fine on these tablets (WiFi allowing).

Guys don't get too excited.

Everything delivered except the tablet :disappointed:

So its if the order is in store on your day of delivery rather than when you ordered?

I ordered this yesterday morning click and collect along with a frying pan in the sale using £18 off £60 code for pick up today at 11am. After placing the order I rang my local store to check stock, they had one left which they put back for me. They couldn't see my order as wouldn't show on their system until today. They said if tablet was out of stock they would just have given me frying pan with no discount as total not now over £60. I would strongly recommend you ring your store to check it's in stock otherwise you'll only get delivered the other items you bought that you probably didn't really want. I have upgraded to windows 10 with no problems and all running smoothly.

It says not in stock and no alternative available

This will be picked by somebody who would normally pick grocery items. It's unlikely they will be on the shelf when the shopping is done very early in the morning, if any are in stock they will be locked away behind the gm service desk of large stores so depends on where your shopping is picked from.

ahah just wondering if it's a possibility, saw some people talking about it

I'm going to cancel mine, not worth the hassle anymore as there is so much uncertainty plus my local store doesn't even do electricals.

I'll give them a buzz in the morning before setting off. Not getting my hopes up though. :laughing:

This is a grocery service that does not need a live availability attached to site because 99 per cent of product is available first thing in the morning. Tablet should not be available to add really

They'll be **** off if they turn up to me with nothing as I ordered the tablet by itself because the nearest store doesn't deliver

So, looks like over 2000 degrees for a wild goose chase...

And a lot of angry customers, good luck to CS tomorrow. :laughing:

Ok, so if it's not in stock they'll charge me full price for the £10 earphones I bought, don't want that. How can I cancel this?!

If you're getting stuff delivered, just give them back to the driver and say you don't want it.

Sod it cant resist especially using the £18 off £60 spend, ridiculous deal.

Does the Linx 8 have the same grainy look as the Linx 7 does?

Did they cancel all of the money off coupons also?

Just ordered with 18 cans of bud for £46 delivered in the morning. Happy days thanks

Thanks :smile:

ahhh no...still go for the nvidia shield tablet

This sucks as mine is due for delivery on Tues. Not a chance in hell...:neutral_face:

ordered last nite for delivery mon nite,if he turns up with 4 pints of milk and 2 steaks and no tablet,ill be sayin put it back on van mate and tell them to refund my card please,

Did it arrive?

Sold my Linx 8 a few months ago to get a Linx Vision. Regretted it - the Linx 8 tablet was so much better than the one that came with the Vision. Ordered this to replace, hope it is available on Tuesday!

Il try and give some good advice but will probably get shot down! If you have ordered for home delivery tomorrow for example ring really early in the morning as they start picking. This will be about 5am in most stores and will probably be the largest store nearest to you. Ask to speak to the online department and explain what has gone onto your grocery order. Just explain you understand this is not a normal line they pick but would they send somebody to have a good look ie in the electrical lock up etc. Hope this helps

Depends how bad you want it. .....

Just had a delivery, no linx 8 in stock so they substituted with a linx 810 leather edition - not seen them before but it has a grey leather back instead of black plastic . However they charge me full price! £99 - sending it straight back :0(

Ok, I'm gonna cancel mine. Not worth the gamble. And I feel awkward if the delivery comes and I have to stand out in my porch checking whether the tablet came, and then telling the driver to take it back. How will I even know if it's the Linx by looking at the package? It could be some other substitute.

Well, this is one time I was glad I was late to the party. :smile:

Let's hope nothing genuinely awkward ever happens to you in your life. What gamble exactly are you talking about? Are you scared of interacting with other human beings, is that it?

Suprise suprise, No. Phoned customer services and the lady was very helpful. She rang the store and was told the order had been cancelled because they were out of stock. She was told that myself and customer services should have been contacted by the store to tell us both of the cancellation but neither of us were. She apologised and said i would be refunded, however they would try and source me two from another store because of the inconvenience (doubtful they will find one) and be in touch if they do.
Sorry but not looking good for everyone else unless a handful are still lying around in Sainsburys stockrooms

I feel awkward, because the driver will be standing out there in the cold while I'm doing some awkward quick unpacking to check the package all while standing up, and then telling him to take it back. It would be a waste of fuel and anti-green. The gamble is that they send a substitute instead and I don't realise until it's too late.

Was in the middle of putting the kids to bed, never got a chance to check. No big deal sainsburys only round the corner.

I only ordered two other items, so the driver wint be waiting long, I don't want to cancel just in case my local has one, so if it doesn't arrive then my two other items will be going back

If it's anything like the HP stream 7 don't bother, windows runs so poorly in that

there not that good lol

Sorry my phone is old and slow and cannot be bothered to go through all pages so not sure if anyone has already posted but can kodi be installed on this?

To be honest the screen on this is going to be awful, at that resolution. Same res as the 7" but even less sharp as less dense. You're better off buying a used Nexus 7 2013.

I wish all gambles were like this, ie a 1-way bet.

Either you get it, you win.

Or if you don't get it, you can send back the filler items if the price looks high or you don't fancy the delivery charge, again, you have not lost. I certainly couldn't give a monkey's about the driver waiting, the lorry burning fuel etc - that's his job and if Sainsbury's can't fulfil their orders, that's their poor management systems, their problem not mine.

Maybe a few of us might get a better (substitute) tablet for the same price.

I thought that as well

you would think someone at sainsburys would take it off the website if no stock instead of lettin people order it still,

Just went to buy, popped the discount code in and then tried to add my Nectar voucher for £25 - it wouldn't let me. Rang Customer Service and was told Nectar vouchers are classed as DISCOUNTS!!!! I tried to argue that they are actually money to Sainsburys, but oh no... so I didn't do the order at all... what scumbags! Now I've got a useless Sainsburys.co.uk Nectar voucher as I wont be using their naff online system again after this!

Yes, but without the Tablet :wink:

You lose TIME and TIME my friend is invaluable. You might not give a monkey's about Planet Earth's welfare but guess what I do. Stop being so selfish. Fortunately not everyone thinks like you.

Does anyone know when this deal will expire?

Right. I order a tablet from Sainsbury's & that makes me some kind of Visigoth Planet Destroyer? Selfish on top, I note.

Got for 43 quid with 24 bottles of 1.5ltr water lol

By definition the pixel density (sharpness) is less than the 7" one, as they're the same resolution. You say you own the Nexus, if you really can't see the MASSIVE improvement in sharpness from 1280*800 to 1920*1200 you may want to clean your eyes! My recommendation is based on common sense, mathematics, experience in having used tablets at that res, and seeing for myself how grainy they look.

Just checked their website, that do state they will charge the price of the substituted item and not the original. I guess it's normally a very small price difference as its groceries! But I will call them in the morning and have a moan.

this might help people,i just went on sainsburys website and used live chat and asked if they have stock ,he said he checked in my store and was in stock,so im still hopin i get one tomorrow,just a idea for some people on here,if not just tell driver you dont want delivery

I own one they are not grainy, and my eyes are fine, ever wondered about the rave reviews for the z3 compact with its 720p screen? Resolution does not mean quality..

By your definition the 50" 4K lidl TV's have a better screen than a Samsung 6 series 48"...

My laptop is a Dell L502x with one of the best 1080p screens put on a laptop, it is far crisper, brighter and has a better colour gamut than most new 4K screens on laptops.

I'm sure most would reviewers, and most people would agree with me that the screen on the Nexus 7 2013 is FAR nicer than the Linx 8. I was blown away by it at the time. The colour gamut etc is fantastic, superior to the iPad mini 2 which I've also owned. VERY bright too.

I voted COLD. Due to the fact that this will sit in the back of a drawer in your house and never see the light of day once you work out it is absolute rubbish. True though, you mark my words lol.

Hello would this tablet run show box or things like it. Thanks

hi,i ant got a clue how to post links,i just went on website,down bottom clicked contact...and then a little orange box showed up at bottom of screen with live chat option,hope that helps.or always private message them on facebook

Could this run the PC Version of Minecraft? Never had a Windows Tab, do these run the full PC verion of Windows so its basically a more portable 'laptop' but with a touch screen keypad?

it's £50 really not £40 as not everyone is new customer to qualify for £10 code.

it's £50 really not £40 as not everyone is new customer to qualify for £10 code.

That's not very true though is it, if you're comparing the same make/model/screen just in 2 different sizes. This is definitely not terrible, but I agree it is grainy compared to the clarity I'm used to with higher res screens.

Its not grainy at all, not sure where this is coming from the 7" model i know has clarity issues, but the 8" model is very crisp, its not up to standard of the ipad air 2 but it is not a bad screen at all.

where can i sell the code?.

The linx 7 and linx 8 are quite different tablets. The 8 has a better screen. It also doesn't have the sound problems that seem to dog the 7.
The 8 - subjectively - has a pretty good screen. Sharp, clear, but obviously limited by its resolution.
If people who own it post here saying it's actually grainy / rubbish then that's meaningful.

FYI http://www.linxtablet.co.uk/viewtopic.php?f=57&t=1433

YEP!, this has been Posted multiple times!, hehehe.

But NOT with the additional doozie of any Discount Codes in play?, ohhh yeh!, lol. :-)

Thanx guys.

Does anyone know if the tablet does get cancelled, is the £18 off then made exempt too? or do we still get the £18 off our groceries? Thank you in advance x

OP .. thanx for your multi-step 'Office extraction' too by the way. :-)

Too small for Windows IMHO. Might be worth it for Office.

This is basically online delivery, I guess you can use the code if you're a first time customer. But there's always click and collect.

Ordered for delivery on Tuesday with some shopping to get above £60, is there anyway you can ammend the order to collect from Store (tomorrow) instead incase they catch on before Tuesday and cancel orders? Looks like you can only ammend the delivery times rather than cancel the delivery and change to collect instead :man:

You've missed something :smiley:

Have I missed something here? What exactly are you saying?

He's talking about the office 360 code that you can extract from the tablet and sell, I think.

Hmmm cold

8inch too small for Windows
1GB RAM will be god slow, should have an RRP of £30 imo

I'm not a serial offender but I gather it takes about 30 seconds to set up a new gmail a/c

Thank you

That's cheating the system and you shouldn't cheat in life OR ELSE KARMA WILL COME BACK TO HAUNT YOU.

IT WILL COME.

Why is this thing classed as groceries IT AIN'T EVEN FOOD YO

So let's get this right. You think anybody ordering this tablet is harming the planet. Plus if you have more than one email account you are offending the natural order and karma will come & get you.

Put that wine down.

Tablet and £10 worth of groceries for £43 and you can sell the Office 365 code on for £25-30. Absolute bargain!

Saw this yesterday so went along to the local store to view it today; had them on the shelf at £100. Came home opened new Sainsbury's Acct ( Use code WNTFTWCTB to get for £40 (new accounts)) and got mine for £40 + 2 delivery. Arrives Tuesday!

If i actually get mine, does anyone want to buy the Office Code for £25? :smile:

Re-arranged delivery for tuesday 10pm, instead of wednesday. Let's see if it turns up, but if it doesn't I'll keep the one I bought in store for £50 :-)

Anybody have any experience with using this with the Sonos desktop software (.exe)?

YES. IT WILL COME FOR YOU. MARK my words

If not in the meantime stocks are not allocated to other orders that are earlier than yours on the Monday within the same postcode area of that store. Stocks are not infinite.

would people go for this or amazon fire 7

Well let's hope that doesn't happen.

I hope that it doesn't for you either, but I think the way this 'grocery' system doesn't really work for such electrical items in store for the pickers it's a lottery for most of us.

OP .. thanx for your multi-step 'Office extraction' too by the way. :-)

The ones in store at £99 are the newer 810 ones that already have windows 10 on x

It means some of us might get lucky & get the newest one as a substitute

That would be good, fingers crossed

i bet unlike Tesco they wont :disappointed:

The hardware's identical - saves doing the upgrade if you want 10.
Although I don't think the 810 comes with an office365 code - so not so lucky.

If mine arrives I'm hoping to use it to stream my xbox one to it then i can take the bad boy to bed, the bath, the toilet really the world (house) is my oyster?

Ordered just before 11 for a 9am delivery. After reading these comment I think it's safe to say I will only be getting my food lol.

Got mine today! Did initially place an order to be delivered on Tuesday but called my local store to put one on hold for my order but went in and picked it up in stead so I shall be getting my groceries on Tuesday without having to worry about a cancelled tablet/ exempt voucher code (phew) ordered over £100 so got free delivery and £20 off :smiley:

Gonna have an overdose with the amount of different tablets I got :neutral_face: (cant resist at these prices) - they all get used by me, or the kids anyway (he says), gotta love the different O/S's, windows is rather fun in tablet form, it is literally a PC in your pocket and so much you can do with it if your a bit creative and like messing around with that kind of stuff. I got a feeling these will be out of stock and you will get your groceries at full price minus the discount.

Good spot!, hehehehhe. :-)

I still have an old Xplorer 360 guitar in my Wardrobe.

Mainly bought to see what looks you get whilst playing Guitar Hero 3 on the bus or in the staff room at work :stuck_out_tongue:

For those who were asking about the 'loose' packaging, my one came packed in its original box.. [img][/img]

Not even that. Every gmail account can have .'s placed anywhere within it and the mail will still come to you.
[email protected] can be [email protected] or [email protected] etc etc

You can also add a + and any text after your email address so: [email protected] will still come to [email protected]. You've unlimited addresses with one gmail account

thanks just ordered it :smiley: hope it's good (ish)! only want it for light note taking :smiley:

shame as need to set up new account with new card

OOOOOOOOO!!!, never thought of that one? .. NICE!!, hahahahahaha, thanx, lol. :-)

I only need mine for Movie Playing (& it does that more then sufficently, from some of the previous Linx Posts in the past I've seen?) .. so Note Taking should be a simple breeeeeeeze?. :-)

brill brill :smiley: thanks for the comment, i was getting a little concerned reading back over the previous comments! :smiley: where did you get a screen protector from tho? can't find any :disappointed:

This seems like a useful website to bookmark.............. if you manage to get one that is:

http://www.linxtablet.co.uk/

Just had a call from the store that there was no stock for my collection - St Albans store. :disappointed: Hope others are luckier!

Im due to pick mne up between 8 and 9. I`ll let everyone know how i got on. No phone call or email so far.

Delivery due 7:30-8:30. Just had a call, no stock.

It's going to be hit & miss, if I get a call saying no stock I think I'll say that I went on Live Chat & they said the store had stock, so please double check in electrical stock lock-up

Ive owned one, terrible

But you owned a Linx 7 and this is a Linx 8

They both have the same specs just one an inch shorter. I wouldnt go smaller than 10 inch on a Win device and 2GB RAM

Had booked mine for collection from the Crayford store today. Just had a voicemail saying they are cancelling my order because I didn't pass the security check. My work colleague ordered one also from the same store and he got the same message. Both of us called the credit card company and were told there were no security issues. My colleague managed to get through to them and they came clean about the lack of stock. Very poor customet service making stories up rather than being honest about stock.

Mine turned up this morning but they sent the Linx 810 so happy days!!:sunglasses:

No I was charged for the Linx 8 £44, it actually said Linx 8 on the receipt...

Excellent deal, I bought one and a load of beer to bump it up to £60 for the extra £18 off. Delivery was a pound as there's no Sainsbury's near me. Thanks.

Woke up this morning with a notification of £10 leaving my Revolut account so knew what was what. Was going to phone in a bit and cancel but just had a phone call asking if I still want the beer, said no obviously and she said no worries, everyone is cancelling their orders. :laughing:

Oh well, you win some you lose some. :wink:

Well just under £100 has gone from my account, my bill was for £50, so I'm guessing I've been charged extra, my delivery isn't due for another 40 mins so I'm thinking I'll be telling the driver to take it back

wild goose chase not in stock .. cap service by sainsbury no phone call or text or email.either

Same for us for london colney store

The linx 7 and linx 8 are quite different tablets.
The name is very similar - I can see why you'd be confused.

​They aren't, they have the same CPU and same RAM. You must be new to computing.

Bless.

They have similar specs far as I can see.

Just had the phone call mine not coming no stock in my local :disappointed:

Similar in that they're both bay-trail tablets, yes.
This has been discussed on the linx forum - go and look if you're interested.
If a linx7 is really a sawed down 8 you'd expect the UEFIs to be similar - in fact they're completely different. The linxes appear to be rebadged chinese tablets - the 10, for instance, looks identical to a schenker element (presumably another rebadge).
In any case after reading EasyDuz's comments on the last linx thread I don't believe he's ever used a linx that doesn't come in an aerosol.

Scrap that, opened the box up and it was empty, nothing in there, zilch, zero, nowt. Took it back and they refunded me, obviously but checked with another store to see if they had stock. 3 in stock :smiley: excellent, 20 mins drive but i decided it was worth the effort. No it wasnt far from it. got there and they were trying to charge me £100 as it was 810 version. Sainsburys can **** right off from now on, appaling customer service.

ordered one on Saturday to be delivered today, just had a call to say they were out of stock.

well this is turning out to be a real mixed bag ...... sounds like either poor CS at Sainsbury's or a ploy to get extra sales

as of now the sainsbury's website is still showing stock at my local store and I have not had any communication as of yet about my instore collection this afternoon ....

... we will see

EliTom

Great advice for 1st time users.... I ordered; ....Lavazza coffee on top and used the £18.00 code....

Similar in that they're both... crap...

ordered but not sure why lol.....

Took you seriously... my mistake. Won't happen again.

Just had delivery, sent me the 810 version, but also charged me £99, refused delivery, now got to wait for a refund

got a call first thing this morning saying order was cancelled due to a security issue with my card,when i said OK will pop instore and collect the truth came out,they had no stock.After much complaining to their careline the store managed to find one! think the star had hidden them away for themselves

pass. waiting on the 1010b.

Buy a Nexus 7 2013 instead of this rubbish! 1280*800 screen is simply not good enough in 2016!

Yep, there's an app for Window's.

I have tried twice to buy this, I put the items in my basket go to checkout and fill out the registration details, then click submit. But each time I get the message Sorry, for technical reasons we are unable to complete your request at the moment. Please try again later. After the first time I left around 10 hours but then still got the same result :disappointed:

Android is lots better than Windows for a tablet. Why? Because it's optimised completely for touch!

oh and I have a £20 gift card on the way due to being lied too

For the vast majority of people Android will be preferred for a tablet of this size! Due to ease of use and etc! Also screen smudges very easily on the Linx 8! Buyer be warned!

This, assuming you mean the 8 W.
They're very similar specs, the Acer isn't > 2x better (if better at all).

Neither! They're both too small to have a satisfactory tablet experience!

Ooops I ment Acer W4
http://www.acer.co.uk/ac/en/GB/content/model/NT.L31EK.003

No stock at my local so it wont be coming tomorrow. I phoned and slated them for putting this item in the grocery section as it will never show out of stock. Groceries are picked on the day and normally in stock or replaced with an alternative hence why people are getting the £99 model. Very bad practice.

I'd still say easily the linx at this price.
2GB RAM is an obvious difference - but whilst it would be nice to have more on the linx it's never been an issue for me.
The acer looks nicer. Don't know what the support's like (it may be great) - I've found the linx forum pretty useful.
Edit: And the acer has 64GB emmc, as opposed to 32GB on the linx. Again that's better, but you can use a 128GB micro sd in the linx (probably both) - so it's not a dealbreaker. At the same price-point the Acer is a no-brainer. But this is potentially £32 (using the £60 code) vs £99.

Mines not due til 11am tomorrow so I've cancelled.
My wife would end up signing regardless of the contents so not worth the hassle.
Unlikely there will be any by this time tomorrow.

cold cold cold. ordered but a phone call this morning saying there is no stock so cancelled. I had a pop and the chap said he had let many more people know that they could not honour the order!!! good luck to those that do get one!

I can't get Linx cheaper than £50 as not in local store & next nearest that has them in is not click and collect .....so total cost with fuel is about £57 - £60

So £60 Linx vs £99 Acer

I can't answer that for you then.
I'd still get the linx, because I'm happy with mine.
The acer undeniably has better specs and looks shiny. Which is good.

Oh guys. I kid you not an I'm not a troll. I got my order through today and no Linx 8 in stock. So they subbed it for a Linx 10 light!! Result!! 2gb ram etc etc. Can't actually believe it.

Looking shiny is very important.....lol

Nope there was no seal around it, that is what concerned me, i'm guessing thats what it means by loose packaging, I did ask if it was returned or something but was reassured that they come packaged like that :smiley:

This is a very poor deal The new one will be out next munth.

The Upgrated model, I have a friend who works at Linx .

Ok. I was charged £29 more for the 10. Good deal?

Just had a call , and my order has been cancelled
out of stock , said it should no longer be on website
The batteries I added were out of stock too
They asked where I heard about the deal ?

The new one gonna be £30 and 1080p's.

Uhm.. don't believe it if you don't want I'm just relying the info I heard from my inside source.

It's only got 16gb storage. That's the difference from what I've read online

This is a fantastic deal for £40...for anyone wanting a little more power theres a 2GB ram, Z8300 processor Win10 tablet for £60... although it does come from Gearbest.com so expect to wait a month. It also has the Gen8 graphics rather than Gen7 which is about 50% faster for those of you wanting to do some "older" gaming. I have mine playing World of Warcraft @ 30fps.

http://www.gearbest.com/tablet-pcs/pp_252625.html

Just had the order cancelled call....
No more stock expected

Buy a LapTop instead you'll get some actule productave work done instead of prodding away on a small ass thing like this.

Total nightmare to get hold of, when I called my local store to put it on hold for me, I specifically told them its the 8" model that is now down to £50 from £100, they said "yup thats fine just come down, we've put the last one on hold for you", I go there to find he has put the 10" one which was £150 on hold..I thought it was some kind of joke at first but turns out he was being serious, I told him to look for the other one so he looked and could only find the 810, lastly he checked in the cabinet behind him and said nope we don't have any in stock, at this point I was fuming but caught a glimpse of the Linx logo before he closed the door, got him to pull it out and to my relief it was the Linx 8. Bare in mind I only bought this device to watch movies on and have been using it since yesterday for that very reason, I must say I am impressed, sound quality is not amazing but at this price you can't really complain :wink:

Went to collect mine this morning - Not in stock

Just got mine delivered, to my luck it was the 810 leather version with windows 10. It wasn't classed as a substitution so they either picked it wrong or are shifting those to cover the stock. Either way im happy :smiley:

But now you won't get the windows 1 year subscription you automatically lost £30 value which is what made this a good deal on the furst place

Collected mine this morning from cardiff. Not sure if I like it though!

Ok. I phoned Customer services and told them they had charged me more, but ye delivery driver said it was the same. They fully understood. Offered to refund and for me to return it. I stated that the lack of memory on the item was the issue so if it was the same price as the 8 I'd keep it. They agreed to refund the extra £29 and gave me £10 goodwill onto my account. A 64gb card is £26 at the moment so he said another £10 off that and you will be able to boost the storage right up. Lol. Win win for me. Ended up paying the same as for the 8 but with £10 credit to up the storage. Kinda in shock tbh.

When I ordered mine I opted to not accept substitutes, delivery between 8-9pm tonight, no cancellation yet...I wait with baited breath on this Sainsbury lottery...it really is a multiple choice outcome....

a) Order cancelled
b) Substitute with additional charge added
c) Substitute without additional charge added
d) Order fulfilled

I'll go 50/50 and hope it's either c or d please Chris Tarrant.

Good luck - others have same idea as Ebay flooded with them...might be better to try Gumtree x

Really got nothing better to do than sit on here and spout rubbish, go play in the traffic

This is a great deal if they have stock near you but something smells strange on this thread.

I notice two trolls, both have the same writing style. The same posting style. The same punctuation (or incorrect use of). The same views. But they never post at the same time. They both complain about Windows tablets, one of them has been smacked down on every WinTab thread they have posted on for giving incorrect advice.

One has 20000 post views in a few years the other has 150 post views in a few years. Does this sound like someone's alternative account to try and backup their troll posts?

Top marks if you can guess who these posters are... It would be interesting for a moderator to check IP addresses and history of these two posters and see if their is any collaboration in the data.

On a side note, anyone who thinks a 1GB RAM Linx 8 WinTab is slow or has a poor screen due to the resolution has zero clue, and if you disagree, put your money where your mouth is and post a faster, better screened device that includes a years Office 365 use for the same kind of monies and I'll vote it hot.

Regards
Flea

good Tip I barely just listed it on Gumtree and already got some intrested buyers LOL lot of suckers around nothing like a nice easy 40 quid profits

Had the call from the store.. No stock they cancelled my order... I think I might get chewi hi8 or 10 instead

Mine has been cancelled too.

"You are not getting your tablet, it's out of stock". No apology and a total lack of manners!

This is a total shambles going to be a lot of unhappy people

My total order came to £51.07 with some groceries and this morning my Revolut account has been debited 49.xx so I am hoping I will either get the 8 or a substitute at no extra cost and the discrepancy is for some of the groceries ( do they do brand match?)

Because it should say on it - I would always check if unseasled box as before I got sold a demo nook simple light when I bought a Nook Gloiwlight

just had a call after ordering on Saturday to be delivered tonight. oos. worst system out of all the supermarkets for electricals

Cancelled order = :disappointed:

The Five Stages of Opportunist Resellers......

Stage 1. Pre Purchase Calculation.

It's only £50 and worth £100, and I can sell the Office Licence separately to make another £25-£30. I'll make £80 clear profit easy.

Stage 2. Expectation.

I have to get it and get it listed on E-Bay as quickly as possible. I know, I'll spend 30 minutes finding out where they have stock and then drive there and collect to be sure. So in total I'll spend maybe 90 minutes getting all my ducks in a row....but I'm sure to make £80 easy.

3. Hope.

OK....Got it and had a quick play...not sure what all the excitement is about. Had a few problems extracting the Office Licence key...took a couple of hours in the end. But got it done. Took some photos so my listing looks good, by the time I'd done a decent non generic listing with my own decent photos took half an hour. Listings up and looks good, can't wait till Sunday evening when I'm bound to sell it for £80.

Stage 4. Reality.

"What the frack!!!, There's bl**dy loads of these listed now and prices seem to be dropping fast". My auction eventually closed at £55 and I only got £20 for the Office Licence as well. Oh well I suppose £75 is better then nothing as I'll still make £35. I'll pack it up and take it to the Post Office tomorrow.

Stage 5. Depression.

Forgot about the E-Bay and Paypal fees, in total that came to a tenner across both of the auctions....and another quid for packing it up and packing material. Took me half an hour waiting in the Post Office to get it posted on top of the half hour packing it up. Looking back I probably spent a couple of quid on petrol collecting it as well. So have to knock £13 off my profit of £35...so made £22 altogether. Hang on though, I spent nearly four and a half hours doing all this...to make £22........that's less then minimum wage!!


Frack!!!!

It's a good joke in theory, but actually it takes literally seconds to extract the Office key, and only a fool would not factor in P&P and eBay and PayPal fees if they were a genuine opportunistic reseller... :smiley:

Yup, not losing sleep over a missed deal - just convinced myself that I didn't want it in the first place :stuck_out_tongue:

Opportunist Resellers don't think...they get excited.

Professional Resellers work out all the actual and possible costs going in.

Big Difference.

And just because you can extract the key in seconds does not for a moment mean others don't have a problem.....this thread is littered with them.

This tab is ok, however its not great and the battery is atrocious on it. Even from almost brand new it ran down after a couple of hours gaming. Which isnt great when its aimed at kids really and all they do is rubbish games.

I

I didn't buy one.......I'm an Androidie guy......Tab Ss in both flavours and a couple of older P6800s.

I didn't even vote hot or cold.

The problem with selling the key is: Ebay cheats.

How can you possibly prove they didn't use it?

They'd steal it, use it, claim their money back via Ebay, the code would show as already used

They just rang me telling my it won't come in a cardboard sleeve or something when it is delivered tonight...

Thanks OP. Just ordered one for delivery in less than 24 hours. Fingers crossed my local has stock! :smile:

Order cancelled.

I don't even bother with eBay any more. To much protection for fraudsters. "It wasn't as described.", "It was broken.", "It never arrived.", "It doesn't work as intended." and they get a full refund, even if they send a different item than you sent, back to you. Hell, even seemed to get bad feedback if you sent the item same day (with proof) and Royal Mail took a week to deliver it.

Reminds me of the time I sold a laptop once, it was in perfect as-new condition. The buyer said it was scratched, damaged, keys missing and wouldn't boot up. I knew they were trying it on, maybe sending me back their old one. When communicating with them I advised the one I had sent out was security marked with an invisible pen and photographs had been taken showing these markings prior to dispatch, and if the one I received back did not have these I would be providing the evidence to the police for investigation. Funny thing is, I got a message back five minutes later saying Sorry, they made a mistake and they looked at the wrong laptop and it actually was in perfect condition. Likely story!!

I now just bang things on Gumtree and sell them face to face. That way the buyer can test it, make sure it works and make sure their happy with it, and you get cash in hand that can't be charged back. You find very few eBay fraudsters will deal face to face.

so it Says 32GB but then in the description it says...
e all your content on 16GB internal storage,

is it 16GB or 32?

Just got a call from my local store(Alperton) telling me it's out of stock! Have cancelled the order, can't be asked now!

Wasted my time registering with sainsburys, ordering, selecting time slot for delivery, making payment, receiving delivery text. Then received a phone call saying there were none in stock in my local store so they were cancelling it.
Thanks a lots sainsburys. Wont bother you again.

Thanks all who are saying they bought to resell them.
I now have to go without because its OOS.

Was getting twitchy about all the stories about OOS etc, I phoned the Sainsburys where mine will be delivered from, he said it is in stock but they can't reserve it for online orders, only for collection. I said "I don't want to miss out if someone buys one tonight when I've already ordered it.." then he said "Ah it's OK there's another 40 coming tonight so you should be OK".

So time will tell. :stuck_out_tongue:

I don't even think misa426 actually has the tablet. They Look very troll like to me. Slating the tablet. Then saying they don't know what to do when if its delivered. And generally theyhave flamed most people on the thread.

Had a text over my order due tomorrow, no mention of anything other than amend before 11pm tonight, hopefully get one

How can I add music and films from my computer onto this tablet? it wont connect via USB

I have windows 10 downloaded ready to install, is it worth the upgrade?

Just went and picked one up - there are 4 more left at CRAYFORD store!

I guess you're right, but it always astounds me that people don't factor in eBay fees etc when selling stuff, and then complain about it afterwards.

And you'd have to either not be able to read or have no computing skill whatsoever to have trouble extracting the Office code :smiley: If you can copy and paste, then job done.

Incidentally, my order is booked for delivery right now (3-4pm), but I haven't heard a thing from Sainsbury's since the order confirmation. I'm not expecting it to arrive, but giving some sort of notice of that fact is normal I would've thought.

Ordered to collect at my nearest click & collect store, but then on reading this thought that it could be out of stock, so called my local store (not C&C) and they have two left. I have one reserved.

Am I right in thinking that to connect to my TV, I simply need a mini-HDMI to HDMI cable? (I want it wired)

off to my local store now - heard nothing from them so wish me luck :stuck_out_tongue:

EliTom

Son is due to get delivery between 6-7pm,driver phoned him and said he had 2 1010 lites (only ordered 1 8'') 1st one works out at £61 with £18 off,2nd full price of £80(according to driver)??? (central Scotland)will update later.

Thank you for posting this deal. I just collected mine at Sainsbury's in Basildon. I ordered yesterday for collection today. I am not sure if they have any more in stock but it may be worth enquiring.

Ordered 1 yesterday for collection instore @ Heaton today 12-1, phone call at 11.... "No stock available"

so the Linx 10 lites only have 16GB & no Office 365 code - plus might cost £80 before discounts? Worth having or not?

Just received call to say item is out of stock and will not be coming back into stock. No alternative offered. Delivery was booked for 8-9 tonight.

got the rest of my shopping except the tab :disappointed: blackpool store.

I ordered two tabs, no phone calls and 8pm delivery. If he turns up with groceries I'll be a bit **** lol

Popped in my local Sainsburys as I've ordered one for delivery tomorrow. It's on display with a "Temporarily out of stock" sticker on it. Will be cancelling my order.

I'm going to look for a cheap Android tablet now, mainly for Clash of Clans and the like. Any recommendations please?

Just phoned my store and they don't have any stock. Looks like I won't be getting one on Tuesday nights delivery unless they offer me a (better) alternative...at the same price of course! :wink:

no phone call yet,ment to be coming 8-9 tonite with tablet and shoppin,if only milk and crisps come then he can stick the feckers back on the van and ill have me refund,i can pop to shop up road for milk,come on sainsburys dont let me down :smile:

Ordered last night for delivery today between 3 pm and 4pm, it's now 5.11pm and I've heard nothing, presuming it's not coming but a phone call would have been nice instead of waiting in for nothing

So the delivery didn't arrive. I can't believe a company as large as Sainsbury's is incapable of sending out a simple "not in stock" email, after I arranged a delivery slot and waited in at the agreed time. Shocking customer service

...and then they have the brass to put the order under "Previous orders" in my account, even though it was never delivered :smile: Absolutely comical.

Booted up after charging and immediately started the W10 update... fingers crossed!

send them an email or go on live chat on website and complain,someone i read got a 20 voucher for all the hassle,worth a shot,i will be if nothing comes :laughing:

I got a call this morning to say as others have reported; no stock and unlikely to get any more. Was told it was best to cancel my order as otherwise I'd just get the same call every day.
