should i buy a tv from dixons?

donnajunkie

i am asking because i am sure i have seen bad things said about them. they have a very good tv at £200 less than most other shops. i dont want to buy it and find it is a refurbished product or have some other problem with them.
so should i shop with them?

I had a TV from them in January , no problems at all , very pleased with the service.

donnajunkie

should i be worried that it says i may have to wait 28 days for delivery?

If I buy something I want it now not in a month, why would you/anyone shop at Dixons?
BTW What's the telly they have on offer? If its a lot cheaper than normal chances are is last years model.

its actually a newish model i believe. its the sony kdl 40w4500. in most places it is around £1100 but on the dixons site it is £906 and that is without useing the discount codes.

Richer Sounds have it at £869

I think I'd Google around a bit more if you are dead set on that model.

just phoned richer sounds, not only do they not have any in stock in the shop they dont have any in the warehouse either.

Sorry to hear that, next best I found was Hughes Direct, but it seems to be only available in store.
Note its the 'Which?' site you get a bit more off.

Got my last telly/Meile Cat and Dog from Empire Direct (from the store in Derby), they seem to have the Sony (losing confidence now!) with a free? 5year warranty.

Got ours (Samsung) from Dixons last Xmas. Good service. Speakers on Tv were 'faulty' after 6 months, and they had Samsung Engineers onto it within 2 days. Excellent customer service! No probs for us!

after some consideration i have decided to go back to my original plan and wait for the january sales.

I had no good experience with them.I bought computers from them in past and suffered.
