  • I'm now considering a panasonic DMR-BW780 but can't seem to source one for my budget, Argos has them for £314 but have none in stock online or at any stores near me :(

    Had a look, thanks for the link btw, but none anywhere near me - back to the drawing board

    On icheckstock there is an option to get an e-mail if it turns up in the next week

    Look for check stock automatically if you want to use it

    Once again I thank you

    It's getting to be a habit

    No problem, it is annoying when a retailer lists something they must know they haven't got any of, especially at half price

    Have just set up email response - thanks (again) for the icheck link, and am now looking at something different, surprise.
    This caught my eye, so am off again to read yet more reviews

    then again maybe not - having seen reviews

    btw do you know of any sites that I can find an unbiased view on the customer service that companies give, I tend to find that feedback is mainly negative wherever I look

    I suppose you can renew the e-mail at icheck each week for things you don't need straight away

    Usually you can type a company in to google and get the latest views

    Or, saw this

    http://www.trustpilot.co.uk/

    Play have the HDT for £180 though probably with a one year warranty

    John Lewis is about as good as it gets for customer buying experience

    Probably worth the extra twenty quid then.

    but I think I hold fire until I get a response from Argos re the panasonic

    Had a look at trustpilot and although the usual conspiracy theories spring to mind when looking at such sites, may just join up and do my bit for fairness in consumerism.

    The panasonic looks to be a brilliant find, hope Argos get some near you, though for £300 off you could book a week at the nearest Butlins and still save money

    John Lewis delivered my washing machine to the top floor and took the old one with them and their delivery people were not put out at all
