I have had problems with two purchases, and when I wrote to Customer Service for help, I was completely and utterly blown off by them. The first request for help, on a DVD player that arrived with old food stuck to the surface, and didn’t play, elicited a “not our problem” response. Fortunately the MANUFACTURER of the unit replaced it, even though it actually was NOT their problem. The second request for help (made twice) was totally ignored. I can’t support a vendor that doesn’t care at all about the customer, after the sale is made, and I’m honestly sorry that things turned out this way. I just noticed that Dillyeo has an "F" rating from the Better Business Bureau. Looks like I'm not the ONLY victim.....

You don't have to necessarily randomly spend money. I think Dillyeo's purpose is to find the best deals on electronics and gadgets. If I need/want the product then it's at a great price, if I don't want it then I move on. But at least they offer some great deals and some products that I was intentionally looking for.

My issue is with the site itself. Frugal Dad, have you ever actually ordered from this site? I've ordered once, and the product was not how they claimed. They stated that with an adapter, it would be compatible with the iPod touch, but this is NOT the case. Emails sent to them went unanswered and my comment on the site was promptly deleted. Granted, I only spent 8$ and some change, but on amazon this same product goes for 4$! Not much of a savings. I feel this site purposefully misleads you on the price and function of items. The link to Amazon has the product going for $25.82, but that isn't the same product. That is one specifically built for the Nano, whereas the one they sell on Dillyeo is a multi-purpose one. That is being sold for $4.87! I don’t have an argument with Frugal Dad endorsing this site, per se. My issue is with the site itself. Frugal Dad, have you ever actually ordered from this site?

A greater question seems to be evident here: what is the nature of frugal spending, frugal living, frugal thinking? Are coupon and deal websites only propagating and perpetuating age long consumer habits, or are they trying to assist the consumer in saving money on necessities? Sometimes they are not necessities, by very strict definition. But as Frugal Francis says, 3 phones for that cheap? It's hard not to see both sides of the coin here. I feel that Frugal Dad is valid here because what is being promoted does not seem to be a swindle, or a trick into getting the consumer into buying money. In fact, one with a frugal mindset might bookmark dillyeo.com, or other such sites, as a reference to check each day in the chance of coming across something he or she wants or needs but is willing to wait for good prices. Anyway, anybody else have more thoughts? Interesting. A greater question seems to be evident here: what is the nature of frugal spending, frugal living, frugal thinking?

And I don't mind people making money on blogging -- I do myself! It is important, however, to note explicitly that you are getting a referral fee, or that the post is otherwise "sponsored". Just put a note at the top of the post (for example) saying "this is how I make money for the site" or something, and all ill will will dissipate! The one exception to this (sort of) is amazon referrals; generally it's not necessary to note every time an amazon link contains associates information. I didn’t mean to be rude.

The phones dillyeo.com are selling today are half of what Walmart is selling them for. Walmart! It seems dillyeo.com has gone through some trouble to find a deal for people who just might need or want. If you look a little closer, this site, as well as dillyeo.com are not about NOT spending any money at all, they are about spending money wisely. Frugal Bachelor, what do you say to the man who needed a phone and happened to find one for 70% off retail today? Dillyeo.com is merely an economic resource if you look a little closer. Shopping addiction? Dillyeo.com might have a patch, but they are not the equivalent to a pack of cigarettes for a smoker.

People visiting this site can easily end up buying things they wouldn't have bought had they not seen them on this website on the particular day they decided to post it. In other words, this website is determining what we can buy from them, and induces us to spend by spotlighting an item and making it desirable. Impulse spending is still impulse spending, even if the item is on sale. Waaaaaait a minute- is this site really a good place for a frugal person?

Television shows plug products, talk radio hosts work in advertisers during their shows, etc... If you are not interested in the service or product don't buy it. @ Visitor and Frugal Bachelor:

I do have to ask, however, am I the first blogger to mention an affiliate advertiser in a post? Today was a slow day, so I decided to mention a site I've used to track a few deals. <br> In the future perhaps I should sell memberships, or ask for donations, or push my own books--after all, you would never see that at any other sites. @Frugal Bachelor: “This post is too obviously a complete and total sellout.”
