Can't be used on Apple products, meaning you'll be stung with the difference when they bill you later on.

Very are efficient when it comes to catching out customers using codes they either aren't eligible for or shouldn't be using.

They're also very good at not telling you that you'd been charged for it either, whether its to your credit account or as a later bill.

Best advice is to use a credit card and then fake your own death once it's delivered.

YAWN

What constructive information did you post that's any more useful than "YAWN"?

The fact someones own choice to buy this over Microcrap makes them somehow stupid?

Your comment is the ignition that sparks the same old Apple vs Windows argument that jams up threads like these instead of sticking with the deal. And I suppose suggesting anyone interested in this deal is an "idiot" isn't at all inflammatory?

20% code does not work on apple products.

it does work

Just bought one. The code worked. Thanks.

New customers only. The discount cannot be used with other codes or on the following ranges: All Apple products,
audio, gaming, computers, projectors, tablets, sale items, Financial Services products and delivery charges.

Aren't they releasing a new one during WWDC in a few weeks, or at the least the specs etc? Still a good price

I was not a new customer, FTL.

Worked for me and I've been a customer for ages. Hope someone gets the use out of it :smiley: I'm well chuffed - saved over £200! :smiley:

Think so, but was happy with this price for almost top of the range :smiley:

I'm telling you buddy, I ordered it and the code worked, might be a glitch but defo worked

I'd be cautious with this one..

If, before accepting your order, we find that you are not entitled to use the code or do not meet all the terms and conditions of its use, we may reject your order or alternatively process it without the promotional benefit being applied. If, after accepting your order, we find that you were not entitled to use the code or did not meet all the terms and conditions of its use, we may reverse the benefit that you obtained. If you transacted on a cash basis e.g. by debit or credit card, we may take a further payment, equivalent to the value of the benefit obtained, from the card used. If you transacted on a credit basis, the value of the benefit obtained may be charged to your credit account.

New MacBook Pro due to be released wwdc so should see a few deals flying around soon

Did you get charged the full amount? I've been reading that they charge the full price and then refund the promotion code amount

I was initially very (no pun) tempted but beginning to bottle it after doing a bit of research on verys business practices!

I'd be cautious using that code if you weren't sent it, loads of deals being posted on here using that code, but it's very likely they will charge you the full price

​wow that's a worrying t and c! so they mess up and just charge you for it?!

i wish these very deals would stop, if very does do this retrospective charging then a lot of people would have overpaid for a lot of these products and probably get a big head ache arguing with customer service.

Not voting hot or cold because if you want this exact product it may be a good price.

But frankly, you'd be an idiot to buy this over a Surface Pro... and still have enough cash left over for a weekend break.

YAWN

Very service is ridiculous. Bought a tele with this code but they declined my order but still charged me?

aye... right, because you're comment is considerably more interesting and enthralling. At least I offered an opinion on the post, rather than being a .... well such words get blocked on HUKD

Great deal but like some others have mentioned, if you are on the lookout for a MacBook Pro wait until WWDC (13th - 17th June) is over as they are likely to announce the 2016 versions.

7.35% TopCasback for new customers (make dummy account if needs be, surely) - knocks another £80ish quid off the price

whilst commenting "yawn" fills the thread with productive and constructive information. It could be that somebody on here is looking for a high end computer and is checking out this deal, as with most deals on here, people often give their alternative as to similar products. This helps people who know less about the topic to gain perspectives from those who know more.

Whilst I'm sure you'd like me to "bore along" with this I'd be be guilty of filling this thread with the exact nonsense these apple threads need to avoid! I wish you a very pleasant evening Mr Gates!

I ended it! Who rattled your cage?

Anyhoo! While we're all becoming the best of friends over here I've been chatting on another thread and it seems that if you complete payment through PayPal then very can't charge you any extra. It seems very are guilty of taking additional payment some months later!

Voted hot btw. Cheapest I've found this.

But as others have said, hold off a little, new range is coming out so these will probably be reduced further and possibly by a more reputable vendor.

I figure with the new range coming soon it might be worth keeping an eye on the Apple refurbished store to see if they clear any old stock?

I would not buy from Very - seriously poor company and you will realise how poor when things go wrong and you need it dealt with on their end. A nightmare to deal with.

A SurfacePro3's have lost 60% of value in a year like £300 now, yes SP4 is very nice but overpriced awaiting same depreciation hit, a Mac at a discount is better way to go...

I totally agree since there call center has been moved to South Africa you have to deal with complete idiots on the other end of the phone who couldn't organize anything, I find it more unbelievable as english is obviously widely spoken there, but they Dnt seem to get the jist of the nature of the call or problem, I am actually in a dispute with them at the moment regarding a item that is to be collected and returned, and I on the 4th phone call and they have still not collected it!! Poor poor customer service outrageous infact.

Surely if you used a credit card and Dnt have a credit account with them and paid for it straight away and they delivered it to you at the discounted price that can't charge you later or bill you as its there error and mistake

Wow bargain for an amazing spec :confused:

If they do come after anyone for the difference then it's pretty outrageous given it would be FAR easier for their web devs to just exclude all the "excluded" items on the actual system so as no discount can be applied to said products, rather than putting in man power to chase people and battle against the obvious backlash it would cause.

Can confirm they came after me about 4 months after i used a code that wasnt valid for the product, scum bags be careful!

I bought an Apple Watch with this code a few months ago, haven't been charged extra.

Wasn't charged the full amount, I'm holding out to see what happens, but not had any issues like that before. And happy enough to pay the full price as I intended to anyway but to save almost £300 is a no brainer! :smiley:

Voucher does seem to be working for existing customers too. Good find OP.

Will give this a go later I think

I'm amazed Very haven't killed this code off yet.

You won't get a new surface pro 3 <£500. Second hand yes. They do depreciate, but you don't spend this type of money on computers unless you're going to have it for a good couple of years. All tech depreciates rapidly, including macs. As a % the mac might depreciate less, but in total £, you'd lose roughly the same amount over time.

Me too.. Which is why I think they won't have a leg to stand on when if infact they do pick and choose people to charge.. They can't really refuse returns. I ordered the surface pro 4 and will be returning it if infact I do get a charge down the line. I only realised right now reading this that the code is supposed to be for new customers only.

The code WILL work when you make a purchase. Its once they have your details and then validate your account that is when you get stung.

Yes - that's the way Very works. Wouldn't trust buying from them, especially with a generic code.

they have done this"scam" before where there's a good voucher discount but their terms and conditions allow them to charge you the full price, loads of people complained about it I think on this website a while back I'm sure of it.

YAWN at your "YAWN"

Wow that must be a big yawn! That was hours ago!!

Order has been dispatched

If you opt to pay with Paypal, won't Very be prevented from charging you again without your consent? That way they won't even have your CC info on file to charge. Couldn't you then just ignore them if they started demanding more money in the future? It's not as though they can damage your credit score...

Alot of Very deals showing up again, I thought these were being swerved by this site due to the issue people have had over the years using codes that they shouldn't etc?

Looks like Very have pulled the code! Good luck to all of you brave enough to take the plunge!

Their T&Cs can say what they want, but they can't just increase the price and immediately charge you the difference without your consent. Also if the item is despatched, a contract is formed and cannot be amended. If they do, that's very shoddy and I would contest it with the bank or relevant trading organizations.

That's exactly what they do. They say the code you used wasn't personally sent to you and therefore not valid and bill you the extra.

No change in payment amount just yet, and if it does well then I'll deal with that, wouldn't be happy but then been delighted at saving £277, so will see where the journey takes me :smiley:

Its not an error or a mistake though. They clearly state the code can't be used in the offer for apple products. You're essentially willingly violating their terms for personal gain at their expense.

They have your payment details regardless of paying by card or not. If they fail to get the extra expense from those payment details, you'll be sent a notice asking you to cough up. Failure to acknowledge such a notice would lead you into all sorts of legal bother.

So people should be asking themselves if its worth the hassle down the line for little to no gain. The only benefit of using Very is down to their flexible finance.

If you want to use the code and refuse to pay down the line then go for it. But when some big burly bloke knocks on the door to take your possessions to pay for the difference don't go crying about how Very are **** or whatever, they're a business like any other. People are entitled to their own opinions of course, but Very have come a long way compared to what they were like a few years back. They're actually a very good retailer for the most part now, and sometime have good offers on price wise too.

I agree in the sense that if they come back for the difference then I will deal with that, however if they don't then I don't see how I'm really denting them critically. I see plenty of deals on here about stacking codes and would never say that anyone who attempts it is doing anything inherently wrong. I value that everyone has their opinions tho so thanks for contributing to the post :smiley:

The key difference is that the code stacking deals generally don't state that it's against T&Cs or anything of the like in an obvious way.

Very codes always explicitly state what they're to be used for.

It was more a word of warning to avoid any hassle/stress down the line. A lot of people will see deals like this and go for it blindly without reading any of the comments, thinking they've got an excellent deal, and then 2 months down the line stung with an unexpected bill.

i know its a completely different thing, but surely codes are only meant to be used individually and not stacked as standard? otherwise code stacking would be the norm, hence its not standard t's and c's. either way, its a side point. This is a hopeful deal for people interested and I for one wouldn't shell out over 1k without having properly thought about it first. As I say, I appreciate the comments =)

​not sure leak suggests q4

They have two opportunities to validate the code, when applying it or when processing your order. If validation is successful both times and the item is dispatched (which is when a contract is normally formed in e-commerce), that should be that. Otherwise this kind of behavior potentially opens up a can of worms in distance selling.

If I go to a shop with a voucher, when I use it, the cashier carefully checks its valid, and if it is, then the purchase is processed with the discount and that's the end of it. They don't come chasing after your money if it turned out it wasn't applicable. Its just ludicrous.

Well for what it's worth I currently have an Apple MacBook Pro in my possession and have paid a lot less than expected. I guess it remains to be seen if they will attempt to charge me but so far so bloody good :smiley:

very has been a bad experience for me. They have a false price and cancel your order after a few days, while you are waiting for the product.

I don't think it's worth the potential hassle

Currently have MacBook Pro and no extra charge, so far 0 hassles :smiley:
