Just had an offer email from Streets Online which contains a weblink straight to their two for £25 page.

Problem is that when you go to that page, you can click on a tick box and then hit the 'buy now' button at the bottom of the page.

If you have bought from them before, hitting the 'buy now' button will complete the purchase, regardless of whether you have their 'ezy-buy' system operating or not (naughty).

More than that, ludicrously, if you have not first logged into Streets Online via the front page (and don't forget the email link doesn't take you via that route), your DVDs will not go through at the offer price, but at full price, and in this case £18.99 each, and you'll only find out if you check your order history.

A trap for the unwary.

Their ordering system is terrible, anyone would think it had been deliberately designed to trap you into ordering things without realising. My brother ended up ordering 3 copies of the same CD because he didn't realise his order had benn accepted as they don't have a confirm order page like every other etailer. This is one of the reasons I won't use them anymore.
