I hope that this is in the right forum but why can other freebie sites such as trainnn ship out their items such as 360 and ipods a lot faster then freepay. I dont understand this concept very well, maybe im just not thinking but with freepay being one of the first "good" freebie sites, you would think that they would have an easier time shipping out products faster then other sites. Whats everyones' take on this?

It is my understanding that before the 360's were even released, Freepay had signed a contract/made an agreement/struck a deal with a distributor to buy and ship she 360's from.

Obviously with Microsoft doing what they did, Freepay's supplier obviously didn't get any 360's and I doubt Freepay would've voided their contract with their suppier, especially when nobody thought the shortage was going to be as bad as it was.

The way Trainn and other freebie sites can ship them out is probably because they buy them individually from high street retailers whenever they have them in stock.

I may be wrong with Trainn in that respect but it's certainly the case with the other smaller freebie sites.

Jake specifically told us that he pays retail on all of the products. He is probably lying, which is my guess because he has lied to us before.

because trainn isn't shipping 100s a a time, they ship individually.

Freepay really needs to buy individually. After verification a user of mine recieved his 360+XBL in 3 days.
