Go cautiously - as always ;-)

 

I've been looking at a Philips 32" USB-C Docking Monitor...

 

In the sale - it's dropped from 918 to 884 (saving a whopping 3.7%).

 

But it was 838 (PriceMe, as recently as 2 days ago).

I have to say, overall I've been reasonably impressed with the sale so far. Some genuinely good deals. Too good for my resolve not to buy anything to last long.

 

Unfortunately PBtech also seems to have switched to Aramex so I am so far zero out of three for having things delivered on time. And only two out of three on delivery packages to the right street, which would seem to be one of the more essential service levels...

I've had 4 orders with PB Tech in the last 2 weeks, 3 of them arrived by courier post within 2 days, the last order with Aramex got picked up 5 days ago and hasn't moved. I'm expecting another 5 days wait.

Same here.
Tracking (NZ POST) shows picked up by courier, then no other tracking for the last 4 days .

 

So , expect long delays if in Ak .

Also, how do you get the link to show the price like that please? I've seen others replace links with wording etc. Don't know how to do it.

The Aramax company (Dubai-owned, but used to be Fastway Couriers in NZ) has the most appalling reputation both here and in Australia and plenty of homeowners have published home security CCTV footage of Aramax drivers throwing parcels onto porches and on the ground.

 

Earlier this week I had a Trade Me item come from Paraparaumu to Auckland and it took 16 days to reach me via Aramex.

I've had really good experiences with Fastway and now Aramex. Super fast deliveries and pick-ups, no delays whatsoever even during lockdown.

 

As for NZ Post they have been poor but totally understandable in this current environment.

Just highlight whatever it is you want to turn into a link, then click the 'insert/edit link' button on the far left of the editor (I'm on PC). 43234234234234

 

PXC 550 vs. 450BT, no idea. YouTube and Reddit might be a good place to start.

@DamageInc: to add a link to text you want to be in desktop mode, so if on a mobile device select desktop site or equivalent (eg, in Chrome on an Android, select 'Desktop site' from the hamburger menu).

 

Then it's simply a matter of selecting the text you want to become your link, pressing the link button from the edit menu (as circled in the screenshot below), and pasting the destination address in the URL field.

I prefer wearing ear buds when watching stuff on the ipad in bed so splashed out on a pair of the Bose QC20's they have on special at the mo

 

Hope they're a noticeable upgrade to the apple wired ear buds ive been using for the past couple of years :)
