I'm not getting FB notifications, how can I fix it?

Please read/watch this > http://10ways.com/updates

Do you have a Twitter or Tumblr account?

Can you send me a text/sms me when you post a deal?

Yes (but it’s not perfect), it’s from a third party:

1) Go to http://10ws.co/16RbY4a or if you would prefer to receive an email instead go tohttp://10ws.co/1221MVF

2) Click ‘Use recipe’

3) Register your details (trust us it’s fine to use your normal details, but you could use alias if you want)

4) Should take you back to http://10ws.co/16RbY4a or http://10ws.co/1221MVF

5) Click ‘Activate’ next to SMS

6) IMPORTANT: Enter your mobile phone number but instead of the 0 at the beginning enter 0044

7) You can edit the appearance of the text message/email or just leave it

8) Click ‘Use Recipe’

And you have finished, next time we post a deal within 3-5 minutes you should get a text message 🙂

Do you have an RSS feed?

We did, however Facebook have removed this feature from their whole website. We’re working on a alternative solution.

For now we suggest you follow us on Twitter, Tumblr and or keep this page bookmarked.

I've got a family member who doesn't have Facebook but wants 10ways deals

Problems

I've ordered something from the page but the company has cancelled it, what can I do? Are they allowed to just cancel my order?

The short answer is nothing, wait for your refund.

The long answer is when you buy something online you’re actually saying “I would like to give you £15 for this item” (known as an invitation to treat), the company receives your order and then decides to accept or refuse your offer, i.e. both parties have to be willing to enter into a contract at an agreed price.

Most companies only create a contract with you once your items have left their warehouse/etc (this is mentioned in T&Cs for most sites).

You can do two things A) Complain to the company if you feel it was unfair or the service was rubbish etc B) If this keeps happening or you believe companies are doing this on purpose then please complain to Trading Standards via Citizen Advice Bureau or speak with ASA (Advertising Standards Authority).

I can't find a Facebook post you've done

You can go to http://10ws.co/1i98efV and search our previous deals for future reference 🙂 and you can also see all of our previous deals on http://10ws.co/1AOHnS9

I've purchased some foodstuff from a supermarket and it's off

You have two options:

1) Speak with the supermarket and see what they say, most will simply say sorry and offer you a good will gesture of say £5-£10. It’s up to you if you accept or ask for more. We suggest you ring the supermarket and ask to speak with the manager and or ring head office and do the same.

2) If the item was past the ‘Use by date’ when purchased – speak with http://www.tradingstandards.gov.uk/advice/advice-business-fdlabelsum8.cfm as they have authority to fine the supermarket up to £2000 for the infringement but most importantly will check them out and see if they’re breaking any other rules/regulations etc that might effect other shoppers.

I was promised a voucher/partial refund on something but it hasn't arrived

The best thing to do is contact the company involved and speak with them, failing that please post on our Facebook wall to see if anyone else has been having issues. If multiple people have been having issues or you’ve been having longterm issues with a company then we’re more than willing to step in and see if we can help.

Why do you spell certain companies/supermarkets wrong?

We spell them all wrong on purpose, it’s so they don’t find out about the awesome finds we post. We change it from time to time.

Deals

I've found a deal that I'm planning on buying, how do I know it's safe?

Any deals we post have been checked against our database of approved stores, these stores generally are UK based with a decent customer service record, what appears to be a secure website and one that we would personally be happy to buy from.

Some posts/links won’t be on our list of approved sellers and for those we will do some checks on the company, website, phone number etc to ensure the website is safe and the company is legit however as always there is no guarantee that the website is safe, please always do your own research before proceeding.

Alongside some posts we may offer additional WARNING messages, here are some examples:

Use alias email = don’t use your normal day to day email as they’re likely to spam you or sell your details on

Credit Card / Paypal recommended = The company isn’t approved and we would not be 100% confident in recommending them or they could go bust and these added buyer protection policies could prevent you losing your money.

If you’re unsure about a company then please check with us, ask users in the comments and/or do your own research.

Can I request a deal?

We generally don’t take requests however take a look / search through our page and if you still can’t find a relevant deal we will try our hardest to take a look for you. Simply send us a message.

I've found a deal - What should I do?

If you think you’ve found a deal it’s always best to double check other places/sellers to make sure the deal is as good as you first thought, if so then please message us on Facebook / post it on our wall.

What is DTD?

DTD = Double the difference, it’s a refund policy at Tesc0 where you get twice the refund due to a mistake. More info available on here

I've got something to sell, can you post it for me?

We would love to help but unfortunately if we helped one person we would soon be inundated with requests and would end up as a student buy/sell forum. Try Gumtree but with cash on collection only. Good luck
