LONDON, October 28 /PRNewswire/ -- Letsbuyit.co.uk today launches its independent social shopping and price
comparison website in the UK, France and Germany to give consumers real
buying power.
Providing an "all-in-one" online shopping experience for the first time,

of products from over 200 of the largest UK retailers - including Wallis,

The site fully embraces the new concept of social shopping - the

online - and combines this with a price comparison model to offer a unique
online shopping experience based on the unbiased reviews and opinions of your
peers.
Letsbuyit.co.uk is packed with interactive social features, such as

the price history details of each product to enable consumers to track trends

consumers are smart and savvy when it comes to shopping online, particularly
during these hard times. Everyone wants an independent shopping site, which
they can trust and which doesn't provide them with biased lists of products
to keep their advertisers happy."
