Default dealfind android is no deal
I want to buy an android tab for my daughter I thought this would be an awesome Christmas gift. I went on the internet and found a deal that seamed too good to be true so I did some research, take a look at what I found.

dealivery.ca 71% off 7" android advertisement
Trueler Information about unfair businesses: Reviews, Complaints, Scams

RESEARCH 1ST!!!

I bought 2 deals from Dealfind and found both of them were complete rip off! I talked to Dealfind's customer service and was able to get my money back. I have never looked at their deal(s) or website again since then!

Their Touchless soap dispenser is terrible. Releases soap even when your hand is over the sink and not under the nozzle. Contacted Dealfind and they were no help at all.

Indeed, due diligence is always required when these sorts of things come up. In my experience if it seems "too good to be true", 9 times out of 10 it's because it was too good to be true. Go figure :-)

Its not just the website offers you have to be careful with. I also do product review checks on stuff in the flyers because at least half the time, the stuff on special turns out to be not such a good deal when its rated 2 stars out of 5 by actual users/buyers.

On the plus side, the musical wireless door bell I bought from Dealfind is awesome and works better than the more expensive ones I bought from Rona.

yeah this is 9/10 true and for 1/10 i just score a brand new 32 G Nexus 7 for $150 on kijiji which blows out any deal out there.
