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 (http://dealivery.ca/en/deal/details/311299/super-slim-g-android-tablet-with-wifi-taxes-included-value.html)

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.

The nexus 7 I'd a steal at regular price. Highly recommend it.

I don't own one but I know android and I know Nexus. This is built by Asus for Google as it's flagship tablet for Android. The price is less than $250 new and is speculated to be below or near cost to manufacture.

It is an awesome tablet at an awesome price and I would recommend it to anyone.

Yes, I think this 'deal' is too good to be true. There is a reason that these are expensive. They use quality parts. Looking at the ad for this one tells the story. Just my 2 cents. Save your $120 take her out to a really nice dinner.

Here is a nice article about the Nexus 7. A great present for anyone needing a tablet.

IMO, Dealfind/Groupon/Teambuy/etc sells nothing but that cheap, useless garbage from China. That, btw, you can buy on eBay for like 1/4 of the Dealfind price.

I'm totally all for their actual local voucher deals though! Thanks to them, I've checked out tons of restruants that I never even knew existed. And got some good deals on hotels too.

Yeah, I mostly buy restaurant vouchers on those sites. However, I did buy three sightseeing flights out of Abby airport for our 10 wedding anniversary at half price, so while expensive, still saved me a bundle.
