Cheap Philips audio visual

Check out this site for some good deals for example;

Freeview set top box £21.99 (not their basic one either)
Dvd recorder £64.99

Bear in mind their all 'refurbished', also watch the delivery charges especially on TV's 26" and above ok if you live near their base in Oldham, Lancs and can collect. All with 12 months guarantee. What do you think?

    It would appear on the sites T & C's that the items are refurbished too. Some decent gear though.

    Learn from the mistakes of others - you won't live long enough to make them all yourself.

    From what I can glean the firm that administers this web site is called Servicecare and they are one of Philips official in warranty repairers. I think then that these products are likely to be fairly new and perhaps were faulty on delivery or what other manufacturers may term 'A grade' products.
    Certainly their stock levels are patchy. As regards delivery for Plasma TV's their costs are stated as 'delivery & inspection' which I presume means they set the TV up and get it working and this might mean a 2 man job. What do others think?

    I don't know how you get the plasma at £620 delivered !!!!! ???

    Delivery alone on plasmas is a scandalous £117.50
