Hey Aria, no problem :thumb:

Great news! Get some offers in for Friday! Pay day. :thumb:
Hell to the yeah my payday is tomorrow!
Great to see these coming back.
Glad to see you looking after those who help make your forums grow.
I was just having a think... although I think it's fantastic that Aria is reintroducing these offers, it is pretty intimidating if you've just signed up to get to 500 posts, let alone 1000. Took me like several months to get there without spamming, so...
I was wondering if it would be worth setting the first boundary for the offers to be say 200 posts or something, so firstly more people are eligible for the great deals (like the F3 1TB today or RAM or HSFs XD) and secondly it seems more achievable if you've just signed up... and maybe the 1000 post kids have like some hardcore deals like CPUs or higher end GPUs with discounts, and since there aren't anywhere near as many people in this category, just offer maybe 2 or 3 at a given price point (like the 5870s in January)??
Just a thought/bit of feedback, no worries if you disagree with it as I'm sure it's a PITA to get what you've got already set up :)
watercooled
25-08-10, 10:28
yes more offers please please
roughly 90 posts to go to get 500+ discount :)
As a newbie here, I'm averaging about 10 posts per day (I know not all will count, but probably most will). Even if only half my posts count, at 5 posts per day, I'll hit 500 in just over 3 months... that's no time at all for me, and I think that's fine that longer standing members are rewarded for their dedication :)
That's just my /2p though... if the powers that be want to introduce more offers etc at a lower post count then I won't complain :D

As its Friday today, we have our awesome 1000+ post forum member discount day! We have Corsair XMS3 4GB DDR3 1600MHz Dual Channel Kit at a super low 46.58 Inc VAT!
Haven't had it yet. Plus I don't think I need RAM after last night :P
Hurray, good offer was forthcoming. Now just need to finish getting my post count up rather than relying on the generosity of Martin ;)
The free postage option dosent seem to be working for me
In my account it says ive made 198 post total and 98 last month but i have no option for free delivery
Am i doing something wrong?
wonderlust
20-09-10, 13:23
does you basket include a super special?
they are excluded from free shipping.
Not from what I can tell
Is there a minimum spend? The thing I want is £1.16 so I added other bits upto about £20 I think it was is £20 enough?
Ahhh i figured it out the order total seems like it needs to be atleast £20 Ex VAT for free shipping to work
you might want to put an eg or 2 in the op to show the kind of deals we are on about here.
like the £350 gpu that went for £120
or the £270 cpu that was £110 (iirc)
Now those are sweet deals...that is good loyalty rewarding!
There should really be some deals for those that have been members for 3+ years or something.

Quick question......How does the free delivery thing work?? My Forum account is linked ...I have over the required number of posts...the item I want costs over £20...but when I go through the order process I still have to chose a delivery charge??
When how many posts does it say you made last month? And also, it wont work if the item you are ordering is a Super Special as these don't qualify for free shipping.
However, Deal 4 Today items DO count for free shipping :)

Damn ...lol
You have associated the forum account with the user name "Joker3327" with your myAria account.
You have made 186 forum posts in total.
You made 8 forum posts last month.
Yeah - for free delivery in October, you need to have made 50 posts during september :)
Can you wait 11 days?! :D

wow :) how many months does it take for the free delivery?
Tomorrow you will be able to get free delivery as you over 50 posts in October :),
(Have to link your forum account for it to work though)
As long as your order is over £20+VAT, and you don't order a super special, the free shipping is instant.. The first time you make 50 posts in a month, you'll get free shipping the following month..
ie - if you made 50 posts in october, you'll get free shipping in November. But you need to keep up the 50 posts per month to keep the free shipping eligibilty. So if you made 49 posts in november, you wont get free shipping in december :)
Just make sure you link your forum and shop account :)
And of course there are folks like me that clear off to France and NO INTERNET ACCESS (gasp) for many weeks of the year.....
Still, I generally have fun here when I AM in the UK.
And still buy everything computer here too - french prices are ludicrous.

No it hasn't - not in post 85 anyway.
Perhgaps I wasn't clear, sorry,
I mean adding a Superspecial that states free delivery on it to an order of normal /deal of the day items - I think I tried a few days ago to add an SSD on SS which said Free Delivery and it negated the free delivery I already had.
Oh I see what you mean now! In that case, good questions and I'm not sure.. :lol:
Logic would say it should incur a delivery charge, but I'm not sure if the free delivery system takes account of super specials with free delivery or if it just sees it as a super special!
What happens if you try it? That should give you the answer - other than that, the Aria staff might be able to shed some light! :lol:
Good question though. Can you link to a Super Special on the main website that has free delivery?
Broadsword1976
02-11-10, 13:12
Glad were on the same page now Mr :) - Just tried it again - grabbed over £20 of stuff normally - no postage, added a monitor on SS with Free shipping stated and Boom! £6.95 Shipping!
Should I re-post in the Bugs/Ingestions thread?
Edit: Linck toSS w/FD: https://www.aria.co.uk/SuperSpecials/Iiyama+Prolite+E2607WSD+26%22+Widescreen+LCD+Monit or+-+Black+?productId=38636
Hmm - interesting.. It does it for me too..
Definitely one to post in Bugs.. If you create the thread, I'll move these posts to that thread if I see it :)
sure does :D, I used the free delivery straight away :)
how long does it take to sort price matching ?
how long does it take to sort price matching ?
Just pm PT or Rawz mate, when I asked for a price match it was done within an hour of sending Rawz a pm, and he was offline when i sent it.
Depends how quickly your PM gets read and replied to.. Or how quick you can pick up the phone and ask! :D :lol:
oh is it them on the phone at aria? I pm'ed Rawz a few days back
You probably wouldnt get through to them direct, but its worth a try.. I know its been done before :)
oh right cool, but will whoever picks up be able to price match?
I'm not sure, but they should be able to ask Rawz if he's around.. He sits near them to hold their hands through times like these... ;) :lol:
I just need to spam to a 1000 post's. I ain't good at that.

Hi mate, you need to make 50 posts per month to get free delivery the following month e.g.(50 posts in jan=free delivery in feb etc). Afaik the posts don't carry over, you have to make them before the end of the month :thumb:

WOW why didn't I know about these forums earlier. I need to start posting in a somewhat frenzied style.
I just can't believe I've been out in the dark about these forums. (i'll get over this sooner or later, I'm just angry with myself at the moment ha ha)
I've made 50 (not at all spamming) posts last month, so how do I take advantage of this free delivery?
Thanks Aria :D

free delivery is automatically applied to your order. If it has not been you either have not made 50 posts or got something on superspecial. The post Pepp77 linked to contains all the info....
Aah, didn't know it was applied within basket, thought it'd have to be more manual than that. Just checked, and it has worked perfectly - thanks Aria :D

your aria forum account has to be linked to your main arria account then it automatically discounts shipping when the order is over £20.

Hi Just wanted to say you have some great incentives on your site. Cheers Jay.
arrgghh wish i would learn to read stickies first Im in need of a psu tight budget i need free p+p must get at least 50 post in like the 30 mins so i can get that corsair
Its 50 posts per month and it runs a month in arrears. So even if you do get 50 posts in the next 30 mins, free delivery wont kick in till April. Also, its pretty easy to spot when people are spamming for free delivery, and those spam posts normally disappear.. :lol: ;)
Aaron quick question m8. I have been a member since November but have only been posting this month. How does that fair me for free delivery? Is it 50+ average per month over the length of time i've been a member?
http://forums.aria.co.uk/showthread.php?t=36711
50 posts this month, qualifies you for free shipping next month. Length of membership and/or inactivity does not apply.
DT.
To encourage new users to shop with Aria instead of expecting them to wait a month to buy their goods and not shop with a Competitor shouldn't they have 50 points up front. ?
Just a thought.
It's actually quite a pain the backside waiting for the 50-per-month to kick in...doesn't apply to me until April :(
Well, as they say.. Good things come to those who wait. Bearing in mind its the 24th today, its not exactly a long time to wait.. Or if it is too long, just order now and pay the delivery! :lol: :)

It's hard work when my shiny new CPU + GPU + RAm turned up this morning and now have to just sit and wait for a WHOLE WEEK!! :p
Sod it, I might just order now anyway
Cheers double top wasn't to sure

I wasn't trolling i was being serious about the first order being free postage as an Incentive then 50 post a month thereafter.
As i say it was only a thought and i would keep trolling in obvious trolling threads. :thumb:
But you keep just make multiple accounts and get free shipping that way.
50 posts a month is nothing, its not even two and day so what you have for it update, its for loyal customers who return to buy again.
Nice idea in theory I guess, but what's to stop someone creating a new account every month just for free postage without ever making a post?
EDIT: or +1 to El Wayneo :p
I'm just thinking from a business point that i don't know anybody that has a £1000 to spend that would wait a month if they are that tight and wish for free postage when other competitors have it for 20 posts within that month. :rolleyes:
Once that person has shopped elsewhere it could be months before they need to buy again and it seems a shame to lose that potential order.
.
I think the rules at the moment are intended to reduce spam. If you only needed 20 posts in a day to get free shipping I can imagine we would need more mods.
I have noticed at least one person get moderated for trying to get 50 in one day thinking it works like that.
On a 1k build we usually reckon you still save over competitors even with postage. That's the usual argument over free postage vs paid for anyway.
What you have to remember is that the free delivery is something purely for ACTIVE forum members in addition to anything else. Its not meant to be a comparison to other competitors who do it in different ways.
If a person is going to be properly active on the forums, to the point that they qualify for the 'reward', then it will only be the first month that they won't get free delivery.
If they are just here for a hit and run to get free delivery for a single order, then I would say they arent actually that active on the forum?!
100 posts is the right amount to prevent the forums becoming a spamfest. 20 would cause a nightmare for the mods and maybe even 50. But 100 puts off those spamming for a free delivery and keeps those members who want to stay.
100 might be a bit steep for those members who don't have time to spam contribute as much as everyone else.

I tend to agree i have considered joining these forums numerous times to get the free postage but have been put off by the post amount 50 is not a huge amount it's just that i frequent another forum and have a few thousand posts on there. It's the daunting thing of havng to start again on a new forum.
I'll be honest i only joined in the end for the competitions they had yesterday but i'll probably stick around now.
50 posts is less than 2 (non spam!!) posts per day.. Its not too much to ask, so that Aria foot the bill for your delivery too! :lol: :)
I think its fine as it to be honest. Like people have said. 50 is less than two proper posts per month.
100 is nothing. 2 posts a day.
Plus the free shipping as the mod said above is for active members, not those who just get to the required limit and you never hear from again.
I'm pretty smug since I realised aria is based near where I live. which just so happens to house a large competitor that I shopped at once - 8 years ago - then never returned...
(you know who you are!)
for once, I WIN!
But would you go to Aria to collect or still use the free postage to deliver a few hundred yards. :p

Quick question about qualifying for free delivery.
Do you qualify as soon as you have made 50 posts, or do you have to make 50 posts in one month to qualify for free delivery in the next month?
How does the month window work, is it calendar months or months from the date you registered / first posted?
Thanks
James

in some categories, the post count is disabled; such as the competitions/trading area etc, so posts you make there will not count towards the 50 required posts

That's very helpful, so many kind forum members.
I know there is a total posts count next to your avatar, but is there anywhere which shows you how many posts you have made this month?
James
nope, there isn't. You can use the advanced search to exclude the categories where post count doesn't apply, set a time line & search for your posts :)

On the first day of the next month go to your "User CP" and click on "My Aria"
enter your user name and password and you will be presented with something like this:-

Without 100 posts, the threads in the TP section wont show up for him..
I ment as in he will see the active threads as an ideas of conversation to get his post count up without spamming. :)

Yes, you'll need to make 50 posts BEFORE June and all 50 will need to be made in May.
If you have made 50 posts in May you'll get free shipping in June.

You have to make 50 posts a month to get free delivery the next month. So if you post 50 times in April you get free delivery in May, post 50 times in May and get free delivery in June, post 49 times in June and you do not get free delivery in July. Its a continuous process.
Also, they must be non spam posting. So no going through every single old thread you can find, digging them up and answering
haha
yeah
agree
lol
i know
etc etc..
If that happens, then post counts can be reset to zero and usernames can magically jump out of the free delivery names user list.. :lol:

It is interesting that you ask this question.
It might help the Aria folks and the minders of this place if you pointed out the bit in the first message in this discussion that was not clear enough to answer your question.
It is very easy for the regulars to think that the answers are obvious, while newcomers are left baffled.
If you can show which bit you don't understand perhaps someone can clarify it so that the same question doesn't come up yet again.
Perhaps they also need to add some pointers in that message to an even clearer explanation.

Oh well at least you have killer deals to make up for it :D (not that i'm complaining about free delivery I just have to drive for 1hr to get to the depot compared to royal mail which is 5 mins away)

Well, obviously, but citylink always seem to come at the times that i'm not in so for 50% of citylink orders i've had to trek over to their depot to collect my item and last time I checked they don't try to redeliver the next day so if I miss them once I have to go to the depot. :cry

Is free delivery only for web orders, or does it work for telephone orders as well?
