Well I'll be Boffered !

hottoshophottoshop

It's been asked in the thread
http://www.hotukdeals.com/item/444638/asus-eee-pc-netbook-8-9-m353-900-1g/showthread.php?t=444638
but unfortunately didn't get an answer. Maybe it will here ??

How is it that after months and months of being kicked out of the Deals forum for self promoting and then being reinstated did a HUKD Moderator manage to post a Boffer deal nearly an hour before it was due to go live ??

I can only assume someone from Boffer supplied the deal to Edi way before it was due to be released ?

Surely this is wrong on Boffer's part and goes against all that the Boffer site promote, one deal a day posted at midnight ?

I have no axe to grind with Edi, I'm sure any of us would have posted the deal in advance if we had known but I do think it's right to question Boffer's motives ?

By the way I've always stuck up for Boffer before but this doesn't sit right for me. Am I wrong ??

    You're right, we did receive an email from Boffer last night, however we only received the info as notification, not as something to post prematurely. This is an unusual situation which shouldn't really happen again.

    If someone has links to a company and are on HUKD they have to contact a mod about the deal and the mods will look into it and post as long as they are happy.

    Maybe this is why Edi had the knowledge first, they put the request in knowing what the deal was and thought it would take time for the mods to accept the deal

    Maybe

    As you'll know from when you submit a deal, merchants have to use the contact form to submit their offers through. This is normally fine but some merchants don't want their deals going live before a certain time, as is the case here :) Boffer don't usually send through details so early.

    Sorry, you've misunderstood- my point was that it's unusual for Boffer to send something through before midnight. It probably won't happen again tbh. If merchants send previews of offers through and give us permission to post, then providing everything checks out it should be fine for the team to submit.

    I can`t really see what the problem is... it`s only the same as posting a "heads up".

    I think we should just be grateful that Hot deals are allowing them to be posted. Besides many people have suspicions that some of the better Boffer deals are very, very limited and that very few individuals actually get them, they seem to sell out in seconds..........so any advance warning is useful.

    Have a look at this thread for some comments about item availability
