review done on the Google link - not sure how linking to the older threads will help. It may result in them becoming more indexed in search engines thanks to backlinks, and coming from here even more so.

Hi.
I have read all the reviews about Aria and I must admit that I think Aria has some of the cheapest prices just, but none the less still cheaper. I have been getting the Aria E-Shot for as long as it has been going, but only recently joined the Forums. They do good deals on Specials and Bundles. The only gripe I have with Aria and what has prevented me from ordering in the past is,as I am now a member I think I should bring this to your attention, is you delivery prices, which are the most expensive on the web. I will give you an example. Today you are doing
Kingston 128GB SSDNow V-Series SATA2 2.5
on Superspecial at a price of £158.61, but £166.78 delivered. I googled this and found it at £165.58 with free next day delivery. As you can see you price is much cheaper, but after you add delivery, you come out a little more expensive, so if you would like to change anything about your site then it must be delivery costs, you need to look into a differant method of delivery, or the company who delivers for you.
I dont no if you will print this as it may seem like a negative Review to you, but it is not meant to be, this is why I can not put a Review on any sites about you, so I fear that I have no chance in this Compatition, but you do need to review your delivery costs. I hope this may be of interest to you.

I cant seem to write anything on that second link, and the google one already has a review on it, is there any other sites you wish for me to review the site on?
I'd like to gloat about the speed of service I just had from this site.

Good morning dav532000,

Thank you for your feedback. We do sell some of the products below our cost on Super Specials, so it will be difficult to offer a very cheap carriage also. I will be addressing your comments and will hopefully come to a suitable solution within the next couple of months. Don't forget that free carriage in a lot of places means a wait for a few days whereas ours is always next working day through City Link:)

If not then I'm going to get an HD 5850 most likely, maybe another HD 5770 I'll see.

No.

I'm going to see if the HD 5770 Aria get in on 14th has the same cooler as my current one. If so, I'll get a second HD 5770.

Otherwise I'll sell my current HD 5770 and get either an HD 5850 + Dell P2211H (Probably what I'll do) or get an HD 5870.
