Good price good service

Shopped around and your company offered best price and warranty, could not be beaten. Delivery was quick also. TV has the most fantastic picture I have ever seen.

No one is perfect

Rang up on Saturday the 3rd of March and ordered a new TV via Collin who was very friendly and professional. We scheduled a Wednesday 6th March Delivery and paid £5 extra to guarantee a morning slot delivery.

The TV arrived around 1:15pm on the Wednesday which although I wouldn't call a morning slot, I would still consider that to be impressive service for delivering / transporting an item between Bury (in the North) and London (in the South)

Admittedly, we have not yet set up and / or tested the TV but as long as everything works fine and the TV doesn't break within the next few years or so, then yes all is well and I would indeed recommend this company based on their competitive prices and professionalism.

No Problem!

Decided to order from this company as their selection of TV's were the right and competitive price along with their guarantee options. Spoke to a very helpful online person to check that my chosen TV was in stock. It was not but they offered me the upgraded model for £30 extra when it was listed at £80 extra. I took the deal and after one of their customer service people ringing me up to confirm the order in quick time and sort out the payment with them via paypal the TV was quickly shipped out and delivered to me the next morning and it is beautiful! Excellent staff and service as far as I am concerned right now.

TERRIBLE service!

I ordered a Panasonic TV from them on the 22nd November and was told I would be contacted within 24 hours to arrange delivery. This took 4 days. The 4th December was arranged, already longer than their claimed 2-5 days delivery. So I took the day off work to wait for my TV. It never came. Meanwhile they had taken the money out of my account! I emailed the company to receive an email saying it had not even been received from Panasonic yet! No mention of any delivery dates for days, so I emailed again and a second time to finally get a reply with no apology, but said they could deliver tomorrow (Fri14th Dec). Stayed in all day again to receive NO TELEVISION again. It FINALLY arrived the day after, again with no apology or explanation of why it had taken them this long. From order to delivery it was over 3 weeks. Terrible service, will never be buying from them again.

The customer service team should be fired

We ordered a TV online from this retailer. Our order confirmation e-mail said
"You will be contacted shortly by one of our sales advisors. If on the rare occasion you are not contacted within 24 hours please contact us on 0844 858 0708 with any queries."
After a day we were told there was a problem with our payment, so i sent an e-mail to investigate. No Response. I use'd their LIVE Support service, Took me 30 min's to get a response, then what should have taken 5 mins took me 2 and a half hours of me asking a question, then waiting 10 - 20 min for a response. Once that was compleate and everything required of me was done, we were told "the moment we receive the information required we will contact you to arrange delivery."

The next day i called up the customer service line and spoke to a man, he told me that i hadnt sent them the information, to which i told him i had, gave him the name of the exact email i sent, he said he would sort it out and call us back. This was 11am. Finally at 15:40, i called back to enquire and was told that the customer service team finish "around 4", they had all gone home and i would have to call back on monday.

This treatment is unacceptable, I have paid for a service and expect to be treated properly. I havent asked for much, just to know if my order has been processed and when i can arrange delivery. I have not been rude once and i have spent alot of money. Money which is now unaccessable to me untill this whole situation is delt with.

I am very dissapointed and angry with the service i have recived and if the situation isnt rectified, i will be taking it further.

Good company to buy TV from

Hi all
I bought 55" LG 670T from this company.
Not only they maintain price 200£ lower than many high street shops
they deliver the product properly, on time.

I really worried about product delivery before I placed the order.
I phoned them to enquire the product in stock, the guy (Colin) is really helpful and took order over the phone. TV arrived exactly on the date he said. Iam really satisfied.
Buy from this company....Please do call before place order to know whether they have got stock in the warehouse.

Excellent delivery and price

I bought a 40" Samsung D6100 for £499 (£50-100 pounds less than anyone else online)on Wednesday and paid £20 for Saturday delivery. They actually delivered on Friday morning and left it at the next door neighbours which was fine by me. I'm just trying out the tv and am dead impressed so far.

How to lose a washing machine....!! and a customer

Ask this lot how to make a washing machine disappear, its amazing where one can hide. Ordered a washing machine, and during the checkout process an extra £20 was sneaked on - not clear on the website as the header just said free delivery, with no ifs and buts, its a large item and the courier has to charge an extra fee. Thats the point I should have walked away, I hate things like that and that to me is effectively selling under false pretenses (small print at the bottom of the page) - but I ordered it. Due to be delivered on the Thursday, the day prior we get a phone call that we can't deliver the machine tomorrow as planned, it will have to be Mon. OK things happen, at least we were told so no time wasted. One day of work on the Mon, sit in all day and no machine or phone call - how to really wind me up. A phone call to them reveals that the courier has lost the machine !, this is the point that you would expect any company to do what needs doing to put something right, with some customer service kicking in. Not here, the best that can be done is to provide me the next model of machine and thats going to cost me another £30 !! - I dont think so. After a wrangle and almost involving trading standards my money was refunded.

I think I have had a lucky esape, there are some really excellent online retailers out there for white goods - this lot is not one of them.

Do yourself a real favour and steer well clear of this crowd, highly un-recommended.

Poor service - Avoid

I bought a TV from this company on the basis of it being the cheapest . Following payment and a wait of some days I still had not had any communication from them at all. No email to say they had received my order , no email giving me an order number even, no clue about delivery dates, even though they had already taken payment from my card!. After calling them by phone and being told someone would call me back (they didn't of course) I had to phone again and was assured of a delivery date. On the day it was due to be delivered I had heard nothing so phoned them again and was told it wouldn't be arriving after all because it was water damaged.

At this point I still had no confirmation of order, order number,receipt,nothing.and was getting very concerned.
The TV finally arrived two days later but it took yet another phone call from me to get a receipt for it. Overall a very unpleasant shopping experience and one I wont be repeating in the future.

Problems if you need to return a TV

I had to return a faulty TV and it was collected a week late. when it finally arrived with them it arrived smashed and the company tried to blame me. I am now in the process of taking them to court. Friendly staff but when you really need help they will find a way of brushing you off
