Anyone used Unbeatable.co.uk?

Hi

Thinking about buying a new TV from Unbeatable.co.uk...

Anyone used them before? Any good? What was the delivery time/service like?

Would normally buy from a well known highstreet name such as John Lewis but they don't stock the set I'm fancying.

Cheers in advance.

I've used unbeatable several times.

I understand why your nervous about making a big purchase from an online retailer you've never used before, i baught a few smaller items before i baught my panasonic 37 inch plasma. service was great.

Remember to take account of delivery costs.

Cheers for that Flagpole.

It's the Sony KD28DX200TV I'm looking at. Unbeatable want a massive £28 for delivery but added to the price of the TV, it still comes in at less than most other dealers.

I bought a smaller item from unbeatable recently, -a Sony DVD recorder RDR-GX3.

As the price was approx 100 quid less than the Sonyshop price I was originally worried that it might be a return or repaired model. But it was brand new and unused and has been OK

I would be happy to order from them again.

Consider yourself lucky, delivery was £100 on the plasma, but as you say, it was still cheaper than anywhere else.

The KD28DX200 is £724.99 at http://www.discountaudiovision.co.uk...de_Screen.html and I don't believe they charge for delivery (haven't fully checked though).

I ordered a Marantz amp from there last year, after 2 weeks of waiting they told me they were out of stock, so I ended up ordering elsewhere.

platform9 · 13-05-2004, 13:15

Thanks for that link, pmcmillan, similar question though. Have you used discountaudiovision.co.uk?

Again, it's a site I've never heard of and as it's a fair bit of money I'm playing with, I'm a little cautious...

Ta again.

i ordered my 5.1 system from them in January 2003, there was not a problem

Jimmie · 13-05-2004, 22:33

Have ordered several smaller items from them e.g. a Panasonic dect phone at £60 off the nearest price, a Samsung DVD player, can't remember the cost but was cheapest I could find it at. They are just the online bit of the retailler Capital Sound and Vision Near Gatwick which a mate reccomended. If it says "In stock" it can be with you next day, the dect phones were, I only order from stock they have to avoid a delay.

[Deep breath] Done it, TV is ordered...

Last night, walking round the local Comet and Currys selling out-dated models for a higher price made my mind up for me...

flagpole · 14-05-2004, 12:22

I'm sure you wont regret it.

Where did you order it from?

platform9 · 14-05-2004, 12:29

Sure I won't Flagpole, it's just the initial shelling out of the pennys that I don't like...

Once the huge box with the shiney new toy inside arrives, I'll be like a big kid.

Talking of which, just had a call from a very nice lady to tell me it'll be with me monday [bonus!]

platform9 · 17-05-2004, 10:18

It's here, as promised.

Turned up at 7:15 am...!

flagpole · 17-05-2004, 10:28

Presumably it works????

platform9 · 17-05-2004, 10:54

Wouldn't know mate, was just about to set off for work when it arrived.

So there is a HUGE box with Sony Wega written across it sitting in my lounge...might be an early finish today!!

I signed for it 'unchecked' upon the Unbeatable Doris's advice...

DogmaLoki · 17-05-2004, 11:07

Techno joy is a wonderful thing.

Obviously it's purchased now... but I have to weigh in and say Unbeatable were good for me. Considerably cheaper for the sound system I bought. The credit company they use was really crap, but Unbeatable waded in and helped me out with that too.

I'm ordering a new laptop. Techno joy for me too soon!
