    Be warned about what? You were just unlucky, but fear not, 50inch TV's are cheap as chips now so another will be along before you know it.

    the warning was in case any-one had to return theirs.

    But they are giving you a full refund, so again why the warning?


    if they've sold out (& that price hardly a surprise) they cant replace it.

    What do you want them to do? They can't pull one out of their bottom.

    It was a genuine question, what can they actually do?
    If you're going to tell people what not to do, I will too - stop being so stupid.
    There was no rudeness in my post.

    OP, it isn't the retailer's fault they have no more. They have put you back in the position you were before purchasing, and that is all they have to do.

    Put the toys back in the pram.
