Default I Am Looking For Guinee Pigs To Test Something... Any Takers?

Hi guys and girls.
Over the next couple of days my new web shop is going to be ready for public consumption and I am going to be looking for two types of beta testers.

1) I need as many people as possible to perform purchasing of a general sales item, right through to checkout and paying. I will be looking for feedback on:
  • Site layout
  • Ease Of Use
  • Ease of checkout
  • Quality of E-Mails received after sale etc.
In exchange for this service, I will be offering a 10% discount code to all participants so that they save money on whatever it is they buy.


2) This is the trickier one...
I have created a web shop that will (should) allow DIY purchasing of customised ECU Calibrations. This will be setup to work on the Cosworth range of ECU's first of all, then if successful will be rolled out to other types as time permits.
  • Site layout
  • Ease Of Use
  • Understandability of custom chip question section
  • Ease of checkout
  • Quality of E-Mails received after sale etc.
In exchange for your time, I will be offering a 40% discount code to all participants of this sale and it will count for ANY calibration you buy during the offer period, including closed loop, ALS, LC etc etc...


Any takers, voice your interest here please. Thanks for your time.

I think its a bit harsh calling stu a dick, but I also think it's a bit harsh go ask people to test your site if they "have" to purchase items to test it regardless of the discount that is availabe.

Having not tested it though I can change my onions at a later date

you idiots slated stu are missing the point, if you are about to buy something from his company he is asking for some feedback and in return will knock a percentage off the bill, he isn't asking you too spend money on something you didn't need!!
as for the abuse, you lot on drugs??

Someone who was going to buy something anyway could benafit from a little bit of discount for 10mins evaluating the prosess!

You can post as many onions up as possible, but as a newbie with less than 10,000 posts to your name you will have to be mercilessly ridiculed and put down

LOL @ some of our members. The people on here with brains know what I meant and will carry on and save themselves money, one guy who has PM'd me stands to save over £400 on one purchase and has PM'd me to check he has read it right. LOL

The other guys... well... Merry Xmas to you too.

To be fair Rog, that makes you perfect.
I need guys to give me feedback on how simple the process was and if anything was confusing at all. I have mentioned that on the main thread in GD actually.

It's your first post, no one k owe who you are, even a simple "hello my name is bob and I've got a red car" would help

yes peeps are a bit cliquey here but that's because we k ow everyone else and when we take the piss out of each other it's all good for a laugh

don't take it personally though, there are plenty of people who will help out if you ask sensible questions

i'm sorry but ive used msd for years, but all i can say is stu only appears to come on here these days to make more money rather than getting involved with the ford community, like he use too.

why not word it... if your currently interested in purchasing anything from msd would you please do so through my new website and leave us a review and in return you will recieve a nice discount....

Your cutting your customer base down to about 2% of those on here then Stu .
To the newcomer upset by Dojj, us Hampshire folk are very sensitive we may be strong in the arm & thick in the head but we are sensitive. Ive asked Dojj to send you an applogy & some flowers. Your not really getting this site are you .
