Has anyone used Redhill Appliances?

Beenie

They have good prices online but when it comes to actual delivery dates are a bit vague. Supposed to be 7-10 days after placing an order.

I'm unable to pin anyone down as to when my stuff will arrive in their warehouse, let alone be delivered to my home.

Has anyone else had a problem or am I just unlucky?

call you local appliance retailer. They will usually be just as competitive and you will be supporting a local business.

Redhill was lots cheaper than our local store. They would have had to drop ££££s to match Redhill. Having said that, Redhill have my cash but haven't yet 'delivered' as it were, so you may have a point.

I recently bought a miele washing machine from my local euronics store. When I bought it it was on redhill for £919 with free delivery (one man, so kerbside, with a 96kg machine :eek:) and I paid £929 for delivery and installation, and the added bonus of having both them, and miele to go to directly if there is an issue When I bought a cooker from them, they beat the JL price (incl delivery, but not fitting from JL, they installed it) by about £60. I know you have bought it now, but it really is worth talking to them if you have to buy anything else.

I'm looking at a new oven, microwave and possibly dishwasher so will bear that in mind. Ta.

I always use: http://www.appliancesonline.co.uk/ and advise my customers to use them when I can't get the appliances they need.

Have never let me down...

I bought a gas hob from them a couple of years ago and they were the cheapest by some distance.

Hi

This is a bit ridiculous. If you are talking about a decent brand (Miele, Siemens, Neff, etc.) then your local appliance retailer / kitchen specialist will be able to do them at the same price as Redhill if you tell them and if they are not doing better prices than 'internet' prices already.

These brands often supply local retailers at better cost prices than internet traders, so its always worth a discussion.

I just looked at Redhill Appliances - considerably more expensive than my local electrical store.

This is very interesting. My local appliance store was £100 more expensive on the Bosch gas hob alone. The Franke glass sink was also much cheaper at Redhill.

I didn't bother to discuss any of this with the local appliance store as I thought the prices they had on display were the actual prices. They must realise they're losing business to on-line retailers so it's a bit silly for them to show high prices and then drop the price 'on request' - why not show competitive prices at the start?

I'm willing to give Redhill a chance, and as I paid by card then I suppose that I can ask the card company to do a refund if Redhill does not fulfill it's side of the deal.

This has always been my thinking. Why should the customer have to do the legwork to get a cheaper price only for a retailer to offer a price match? Obviously because if the average Joe doesn't do the legwork, the retailer's margin is increased.

I've no interest in using any supplier who doesn't attempt to be competitive in the first place.
