Are You Going To Buy Any White Goods Soon???????

lic

I have just had to replace a washing machine, as my old one worn out.
I researched the internet and decided to purchase a Zanussi machine.
Using all the shopbots, I found my machine was cheapest from a company call Pixmania.com. Having bought it, it was delivered 2 days later. To date I have had np roblems with it, it works perfectly.
Pixmania.com are in fact an online outlet for the high street chain Curry's, PC world, Dixon's etc.
Their prices are much cheaper than the high street and deliver was quicker too. I reckon I saved at least £100 on my new machine.
I am not connected to the company in anyway, save to say a v. satisfied customer.

happy shopping

I'm glad it worked out for you and hope any problems in the future, if there are any, will be dealt with in a similarly satisfactory manner.
Some others have not been so lucky

Pixmania aren't part of the DSGi group (Currys, Dixons, PC World), or part of Comet etc.

They are another company based in France and it has become common knowledge that their after-sales service is absolutely dire. Returning items is expensive (to France) and it's hard to claim on their warranty.

Absolutely no affiliation with the DSGi group, as you wrongly indicated. I truly hope you had a good buy and nothing will go wrong with the machine.

Glad you got a bargain but personally I wouldn't touch them with a 10 foot bargepole absolutely terrible customer service from what I have seen on net

They are registered to Fotovista. DSGi (Currys, Dixons) have a 75% interest in them http://whois.domaintools.com/pixmania.com

They are renowned for sending grey goods without any UK manuals

Oh!
I didn't know they had a bad reputation. Still I suppose most shop will have some unsatisfied customers. I just hope I will not be one of them.
The reciept has curry's, curry digital and PC world on the header.

I ordered a hd ready tv from pixmania. Delivery was on time, so I had no need to speak to customer services. Have just set the tv up for my son, and it seem absolutely fine. Manual was written in French and English, and was a lot clearer than some English manuals that I have seen. It came with a 2pin plug, but they had put an adaptor in the box to change it over to 3 pin. The adaptor is really easy. Open it up with one screw, pop the 2pin plug in, as if laying a baby in it's cot, and screw it back up. Safe and secure. I know this company have had bad review, but I can only comment on my particular situation. On this experience, I would definitely use them again.

Just out of intrest does the 2 pin plug have an earth connection that the adapter connects to. If not you have a metal case with no earth i.e. unsafe

Best site to look for white goods is

I'd be surprised if Pixmania come out best for price.
