Hi all,

Saw this thread and wanted to take this opportunity to reply and to apologise for any inconvenience caused to our customers as a result of this issue.

Unfortunately we’ve been hit by some technical problems which did cause problems to customers trying to access our deals earlier today. However, these issues have now been resolved and our site is now back up running as normal. As a result, all of our Flash Deals are now available (while stocks last) until 7pm this evening.

Meanwhile, sincere apologies once again. If any forum member is still having problems then please PM me with your details and I’ll get in touch to help.

Many thanks,

John Clayton

​No.

The irony.

Time to try and shift some more TVs now the Euros (and Wimbledon) are over?

Have they figured out the HDR standard yet? Or is it worth hanging on to drop 2k on another tv?

Thanks for the heads up.

Don't seem to be promoting this on their social channels whatsoever...

It's on their website.

RIP :confused:

Unimpressed already.......just a crashed website!

website crashed? not working.

I'm on the website but on the flash sale but it says I'm early & to come back at 10am...

Im hoping the new projector screen I want I had a nice reduction at some point.

Haha site down already great start.

Great start - site down, joke

ha ha, website down.
So would you all suggest getting a good 4k tv as a stop gap to the full HDR jazz in a years time?

still crashed

that worked well for their business! LOL

Looks like its hosted with cromwells.co.uk and their website is also down. I suspect this sale has taken down every site that they host lol

Flash Sale? Crash Fail Sale more like! Website still down.

Crashed so hard it's also taken down the stock management company they use!

Still not loading. Still "a little early"... :smiley:) Maybe they forgot to put PM after 10:00... :smiley:)

Think they'll change their host to Amazon Web Services? Maybe it was a planned stress test of their current hosts :sunglasses:

dont understand why they cant be prepared for huge traffic around these sale time. very unprofessional to be so ignorant.

Wow Samsung 60 inch TV for £199 with free 4k blu Ray drive. That's why it crashed! Oh well got my ten now off to list on eBay.. :wink: Looks like another pointless day off chasing geese. Will I ever learn :disappointed:

The irony of their IT company's slogan

Deal is still getting heat though.... :confused:

haha what a fail

unsubscribed not impressed.

What a failure..

What flash sale I can't find a bargain on this site.
Waste of 99.99% of peoples time. Shame on you Julian Richer :disappointed:

Don't forget the 30% cashback on CrapSaleWebsitesCashBack.com

Patience people patience. I bet it will be better than any of the Amazon TV sales and don't forget you get the 6 years warranty as well :smiley:
So patience friends :smiley:

.. OK Julian!

Utter rubbish.


Can't see any TV bargains here.

I can understand they're low margin, but the website really should have more care bestowed upon it.. :neutral_face:

Site is still down. Telephone line are extremely busy. You can leave them a message for them to call you back :-)

You could also ask them to call you back and explain why there aren't any decent deals in this amazing Flash Sale?

Come back comet all is forgiven

Just spoke to my local store who told me what the deals were that were up to 12pm.
I can ring after that for the next deals but website will hopefully be sorted by then.

Well - that was a waste. No deals appeared and cant access site. Wanted a great AV Receiver deal. Oh well.

Onkyo TXNR747 for £399
Denon AVRX4200 for £599
Yamaha RXA3050 for £1399

What were they? Any soundbars or TVs?

Thanks - £400 budget max - ideally lower. Was hoping a flash deal @ 250 lol. Still might happen!

TVs were the ones posted earlier on here.
No soundbars yet but new deals every 2 hours.

So what were the deals then? any Soundbars or Soundbase's on offer?

As above and
Pioneer HM82 £249
Marantz MCR611 £299
Cambridge Minx XI £299
Pioneer Freeme Aqua £39.95
Monster N Tune £29.95
Cambridge GO £79.95

Any TV deals?

Seems like a waste of time pressing F5.

If you're using Chrome you can get an extension called Easy Auto Refresh set it auto refresh every minute.

Posted on 2nd page

well done for actually getting on the site....

Quite simply, No.

Ha, ya the 3 deals are not great.

Looks like the website is working ok now after 1.5hrs. No sale though...

the sony seems a pretty good deal doesn't it? if you wanted high end 4k without full HDR?

Site is still down. Telephone line are extremely busy. You can leave them a message for them to call you back :-)

Site is up and running but very sloooooowwww.

All i keep getting is the red banner
"Come back at 10:00 when the offers are GONE!"

What a joke! The site was working for about a minute when I just tried it then it reverted to the "Come back at 10.00..."

anyone see the 12 o'clock deals ?

Great now you get a big red screen saying check back at 12pm for more deals

Ha now reverted to come back at 10am again!

Amateurs

Site is still down. Telephone line are extremely busy. You can leave them a message for them to call you back :-)

Oh come on! I've got a £20 voucher to use! I was selling it on gumtree - I'd look at selling it on here but I think selling directly on HUKD is a bit dodgy!

Thanks GRSC.......Shame the Qacoustics M4 was what I was going to buy if it had been closer to the £200 mark

Nope gone down again...... :-(

has any1 actually bought anything yet?

Nope gone down again...... :-(

The irony.

Maybe if you look for Richer Sounds on eBay there are some deal going on there. However I noticed on the TV they do not offer the 6 years guarantee. Still not bad deals.

Nope gone down again...... :-(

Reserved an Onkyo 747, just waiting on a decent speaker pack to be on offer.

DDoS in your face!

Absolutely ;-)

Nice

Epic fail for a reputable company..

Now shows "Check back at 12 when the deals will change"

Yeah it's 12:47

At a guess, I'd say it was a bunch of Labour MPs who have organised this flash sale.

I finally got my SAMSUNG UE22H5600 Refurbished for £109 instead of £179. Great sale !!!!

What a joke this sale is, website has now been down 90% of the time since 10am.

Whole new meaning of a flash sale, must have blinked and missed itX)

Please "Bear" with us?
Shouldn't it be "Bare"

​No.

They are the 12pm deals - the site hasn't updated with the 2pm deals

LG 24MT46D cheaper on Amazon. https://www.amazon.co.uk/LG-24MT46D-inch-Full-1080p/dp/B00PDUPNI6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1468329683&sr=8-1&keywords=LG+24MT46D

They honour the prices in store, got £30 off Samsung TV I almost bought yesterday.

Anyone know if this is good?

Hmmm... what's your line of thinking here?

I think you should throw in a cheeky 10% off code for the inconvience :wink:. To be fair, its good that you have acknowledged there has been problems.

They've been solved when the deals over how convenient .Give your self a pat on the back john

​you didn't read much of this response, did you?

so what did I miss? Hmmm

Judging by what was posted here, there weren't any "deals" to miss really. Next time they have a flash sale, I guess people just won't bother wasting their time.

I got my email announcing this sale at 8pm this evening. At least I missed the crash.

Shame did try your website several times and was going to pop in if there was anything interesting. Might have gone for the denon. Oh well there is always Black Friday.
