15HQHAIR

EDIT: sorry guys, offer seems to have expired. Per comments, you can use SUNTEN for £10 off.

HQhair.com is a valid GHD reseller according to the official GHD Web site:
http://www.ghdhair.com/customer-care/counterfeit

They're currently selling the GHD IV Style for £99, but there is a 15% discount code: <b>15HQHAIR</b>.

International shipping is £8.50 for the first item, £12.50 for an unlimited number of items
Also, buying overseas means that you will not have to pay the 17.5% VAT, but you do have to pay a £8.50 "service charge" (EDIT: per the comments, this gets removed if you pay via Paypal - thanks guys!)

Anyway, all up, one GHD IV will cost you £88.62, which at the current exchange rate (x-rates.com) is <b>$141.57</b> (excluding any credit card surcharges, foreign exchange surcharges, etc. that your credit card provider or Paypal will charge you).

Or, if paying by Paypal - £80.12 (~AU$127.99)

    Also £99 at asos.com but there is no discount code at the moment.
    http://www.asos.com/Beauty/A-To-Z-Of-Brands/Ghd/Cat/pgecateg…

    Shipping is £10.50 flat rate.

  • Naed on 08/11/2010 - 00:14

    £8.50 service charge disappeared for me. Got it for £80.12. Cheers!

    • Dobs on 08/11/2010 - 02:09

      Paying by Paypal removed the service charge.
      It was about AU $131 (£80.12 @ PayPal exch rate of 0.61)

      • unity1 on 08/11/2010 - 10:54

    So how long is the deal on for any of uz know? Does it seriously work?

    Thanks

    • cato1 on 08/11/2010 - 08:32

      it's been that price for a while now..
      i bought mine on hairhq about 3 years ago and it was still at a mucher lower price than you could get in Aust. The price is just getting sweeter with the strength of the dollar!

  • ravzter on 08/11/2010 - 06:19

    checked with the paypal FX rate, it comes to apprx $176 !

    Still worth it ?

    • leeroys_dad on 08/11/2010 - 06:29

      you won't find one in store for under $250

    • t3chshopper on 08/11/2010 - 10:36

      As with another commenter above, PayPal quoted me an exchange rate of 0.61p per dollar, which converts to AUD$131 from £80.12. I'm not sure where your $176 came from.

    • chris_07 on 08/11/2010 - 12:06

      Pay wil paypal and the price comes down to $132 (after the discount code in the checkout and then paypal removes the 8.50 service fee). Also you can find them for much less than $250 given that the official website has them for $239 including free delivery check: http://www.ghdhair.com/au/ghd-iv-styler.

      Still a great deal, I just bought one.

  • jg3374 on 08/11/2010 - 07:37

    • sparkles on 08/11/2010 - 08:21

      You'll need an adapter as they will have UK plugs.

      • cato1 on 08/11/2010 - 08:33

        pretty sure they sell those on the website for pretty cheap also

        • wartortle on 08/11/2010 - 17:22

          you'd get one from somewhere like Bunnings or Dick Smiths for under $10. Either that or buy a 3-pin plug and chop off the UK one then wire the standard one on.

    • jg3374 on 09/11/2010 - 07:49

      I emailed the company about the plugs as this is the reply I was sent:

      Thanks for your email.
      All our GHD straighteners are multi-voltage so can be used anywhere in the world. However, they do come with a European plug so you will need a trans-continental adaptor, which can be found on our website:

      http://www.hqhair.com/tools-electrical/go-travel/trans-world…

      You can find all the GHD Stylers at: http://www.hqhair.com/tools-electrical/ghd/products?cid=8026…

    Awesome. Just bought a Christmas present for my wife! At around AUD$132 on Paypal that is a great deal.

    • ravzter on 08/11/2010 - 10:34

      howd u manage to get that rate ? on paypal fx rate is as below

      1 AUD = 0.610920 GBP

      • t3chshopper on 08/11/2010 - 10:38
        +1

        At an exchange rate of 0.61p per dollar, £80.12 converts to AUD$131.

        I paid via PayPal and the price with shipping was £80.12.

        • ravzter on 08/11/2010 - 10:40

          15% off on 99 is ruoghly 85 + 8.5 shipping fee + 8.5 handling fee = 102 / 0.6109 = 166.97

          edit . forgot about the VAT that we dont pay.

        • t3chshopper on 08/11/2010 - 10:57

          As Dobs commented above, "paying by Paypal removed the service charge".

          Edit: You're right that it doesn't add up. I just checked my email, and it says:

          Styler £99.00
          15% discount -£14.85

          Subtotal £85.15

          Shipping £8.50

          Paid by PayPal £80.12

          Which matches my emailed PayPal invoice.

        • BargainHunter69 on 08/11/2010 - 11:47

          I just bought one for my GF and it was £80 too :)

    Can this work on 240V?

    • Naed on 08/11/2010 - 11:12

      GHD IV is dual voltage. Works on 240V but will most likely require an adapter to plug it in to our sockets.

      • ESEMCE on 08/11/2010 - 15:08

        The UK also runs the same Voltage/Cycles as we do..
        so any electrical item bought there will work here with just a plug adapter (or chop off the hulking UK plug and install an Aussie plug)

    Just ordered 4 from HQhair for 307.47 GBP = $490.03 AUD / 4 = $122.51 each. Good deal. Thanks zzyss for posting.

    do they have international warranty?

  • ltwo on 08/11/2010 - 12:23

    is there international warranty on these things? what if it fails after 2 months or something, who do i contact? GHD Australia or HQHair. posting it all the way back to UK may be a hassle.

      Unfortunately not… see the 3rd point on this page:
      http://www.hqhair.com/info/customer_services

      "Your GHD hair straighteners are covered by a 24 month manufacturer's warranty held with Jemella (GHD).

      This warranty entitles you to a repair or replacement of your faulty hair straighteners. Simply return them with proof of purchase and a covering letter including your own address and a brief note explaining the nature of fault to:

      GHD themselves are not an international company. Even the official site requires returns to UK:
      http://www.ghdhair.com/customer-care/returns

      I guess when you buy from a local retailer they have their own arrangement with GHD through the supplier… you get what you pay for!

      • ltwo on 08/11/2010 - 14:44

        ahh, that's too bad. i guess the >$100 in savings can make up for the lack of Australian warranty, per se. hopefully the GHD quality will last me years! btw, i got the GHD IV Mini for myself.

    • BrownEyedGirl on 08/11/2010 - 15:24

      It would be best to contact ghd Australia to verify this.

    Is GHD really that good? Worth triple the price of similar products?

    Missus bought a $50 VS Sassoon branded styler (made by Conair) not long ago and she wasn't impressed at all. It's now sitting there collecting dust and wasting space.

    Should I buy this GHD to surprise her?

    • snufl on 08/11/2010 - 19:05

      My daughter has really curly hair (and hates it). She tried other straighteners without success. She has this model GHD and it works. I'm so impressed with hers I'm getting one for myself. So if your wife wants to straighten her hair, I'd say she'll be happy with this. Hope this helps :)

  • BrownEyedGirl on 08/11/2010 - 15:25

  • jg3374 on 08/11/2010 - 15:41

    Just as a heads up, you can get a plug adapter from $1 delivered on eBay to go with your straightener:
    http://cgi.ebay.com.au/NEW-AU-TRAVELING-PLUG-US-UK-EU-CONVER…

    Or, alternatively, just go and purchase a Korjo from somewhere.

    • BARBO on 08/11/2010 - 21:51

      I had the same thought initially. But I think it's worth spending money on a branded adapter. Wouldn't want to burn your house down for the sake of a $1 eBay adapter.

  • deliriouz on 09/11/2010 - 03:15

    Cant get the 15HQHAIR code to work just now, but tried SUNTEN and got 10% off instead.

    • rspark on 09/11/2010 - 08:17

      Ooh thanks for that code! I thought I'd missed the deal (although the code is for £10 off not 10% off, but I guess for a £99 purchase that doesn't matter so much!)

      I'd actually gone through the whole checkout process yesterday, but didn't go through with the purchase. They then sent me an email offering me a code (HQTAKETHAT) with 10% off to complete the purchase, so I tried it…and it didn't recognise! Why bother offering?? Anyway, it's a trick if anyone else wants for try.

      • Mugz on 09/11/2010 - 09:36

        I did the same thing…left it in the basket overnight, the 15% off code no longer works…tried HQTAKETHAT which doesn't work either. But SUNTEN does still work.

      • Naed on 09/11/2010 - 11:41

        If you check the fine print on the HQTAKETHAT offer you'll see it only applies to non-electrical items. I'm not sure whether they send you the email even if you have a non-electrical item in your checkout because I had something else in there when I received the email. If they're sending it when you only have the elctrical item then that's pretty stupid and will not help them close the sale.

  • ravzter on 09/11/2010 - 08:34

    did any body get charged on paypal ? mine is pending on pound amount lol hope they dont charge me when AUD Drops

    • snufl on 09/11/2010 - 09:16

      I'm in the same position, chose to be charged in pounds and crossing fingers that AUD doesn't drop.
      I think HQHair is waiting for stock and won't charge until ready to ship. Normally I'd appreciate it but in this case I'd rather they just charge now… never happy I guess.

  • wat223 on 09/11/2010 - 09:42

    I put extra products so to lowering shipping..
    But they seem to be charging me each time they send the product! (so I have 5 products with GHD, they have sent the first 2 to me already and the invoice includes the 15% discount + Shipping costs)
    help! is anyone having this issue?

  • Moj0 on 09/11/2010 - 13:13

    Did anyone check out link that EdZz posted above? http://www.ghdaustore.com/
    The GHD IV there is only AUD$94!! Not sure how much p&h is, i didnt go thru with checkout but would probably be less than $131 all up and they have warranty replacement from retailer. Im assuming that product is genuine.

    How come my order got cancelled by HQHair?!?!??! Anyone have the same issue?? The product is still on sale!

    It is with regret that we have been unable to obtain stock of one of your products, and so we have cancelled this item from your order:
    1 x IV Styler

  • kez26 on 10/11/2010 - 01:30

    Mine has been cancelled as well. I've just sent a polite email basically saying 'wtf?'. My guess is they got more orders than they expected and decided to cancel them, which is very poor on their part, so I'm pretty pissed off

    • ltwo on 10/11/2010 - 02:12

      i know where you're coming from. but look at the number of clicks (2000+ clicks from this site alone). doubt they can stock so many.

  • seano on 10/11/2010 - 04:16

    Mine was cancelled too.Here is their follow up reply to my enquiry -
    'We regret to inform you that we will be unable to fulfil your order. Unfortunately some discount codes that were meant for non-electrical items delivered within the UK, have been advertised on some foreign forums and you have used one of these codes. Due to the margins and the cost of shipping outside the UK we unfortunately can not honour this discount, we do apologise for the inconvenience.
    As a gesture of goodwill we would like to offer you a 5% discount code, this is valid until the 12th November and can be used on any item on the website. Please enter : FIVOFF : at checkout

    • rspark on 10/11/2010 - 07:07

      Honestly, that is a pathetic excuse. If they didn't want non UK customers to use it they should have made the code valid only for UK addresses. And to say that the problem is due to shipping…? They charge for shipping! £8.50 is the most I've ever had to pay for anything of that size from the UK (come on, GHDs aren't that heavy, otherwise there'd be heaps of girls with RSI!)

      Annnnd both of those excuses are just lies considering they did honour the code for some people. Surely they would realise that if people first got the code from a forum they would also see feedback from other buyers on the same forum. They can keep their 5% discount.

  • jimbo123 on 10/11/2010 - 07:16

    i have just received an email from HQhair…..

    if the discount code was meant for 'non electrical' why did it accept the code…Yer right !!!

  • aldog on 10/11/2010 - 07:30

    My order got cancelled also - if you're going to have these online coupon codes for people and you know that they're valid for certain people (UK customers in this case) why not damn well restrict them in the first place - or better still - not have these coupon codes at all!

    If they were a decent business they'd admit that they stuffed up and would still honour the transaction, as opposed to holding peoples money for a day or two and then cancelling the order.

    • t3chshopper on 10/11/2010 - 08:17

      I'm pretty annoyed about this too. However regarding your second comment about "holding peoples money for a day or two and then cancelling the order", I'm not sure about credit card payments, but if you pay via PayPal they don't charge until they ship it, which obviously never happened.

  • ravzter on 10/11/2010 - 07:50

    surprisingly now the item is out of stock :@

  • t3chshopper on 10/11/2010 - 08:10

    I guess if it seems too good to be true…

    Even if I wanted to buy it from them for the 5% off using their discount code that is only good for another 2 days, it's currently out of stock and unable to be purchased. Hilarious!

  • snufl on 10/11/2010 - 08:40
    +1

    Yes they supply a 5% discount code only valid for 2 days. I decided that an extra 9.9 pounds was still probably worth paying but now it is not possible to put the GHD in my basket. So the 5% discount is NOT available for this product.

    I understand that errors occur but my order was accepted, it took days for them to cancel and their goodwill gesture is to offer 5% off another product I don't want to buy…insulting.

  • nitzy on 10/11/2010 - 09:26

    My order got cancelled too. Man this is annoying.

  • Naed on 10/11/2010 - 10:37

    Same for me, order cancelled. Not long after that I get an email from COTD saying that there was a discrepancy between the number of cameras their inventory system said they had and how many they had on the shelves. So the 2 presents I told my girlfriend she would be getting in the next few weeks are off the cards.

    I think it's time for some real regulation of the online shopping industry, or maybe I'm just frustrated.

    I called up HQhair to enquire what happened with my cancelled order. They said they thought they had stock but they ran out and don't know when the new stock will come in - hence the "awaiting stock" message. I asked for them to hold my order anyway I don't mind waiting, but she said they can't do that as they don't know how long they need until they get stock in…

    Pathetic re the 5% discount too! didn't realise its only valid for 2 days..

    I'm curious. Did anyone here actually didn't get their order cancelled?

    It's particularly bad when you look at their website terms and conditions:

    "If an item is out of stock, we will let you know and unless you then request your payment be returned we will hold your payment until the product is next in stock".

    So clearly their usual policy is not to cancel orders just because of a lack of stock.
    Also 5% discount for 2 days is insulting, when clearly the only thing I want is the straightener or I would have ordered it WITH the straightener.
