Unwanted next day delivery!

I took a star off for fixing next day delivery when I hadn't paid extra for this service! I could not take a delivery on that day and the call centre operative did not change the delivery date was requested. It was eventually sorted out.

TV FreeSat Knowledge

Knowledge by the store manager/assistant of FreeSat meant that we were able to identify a TV that met all my requirements, was in stock and was value for money.

Superb service

I was guided to the TVs that I was interested in over the phone to your Sheffield office confirming stocks and price. Despite myself accidentally ordering the wrong product code number initially after a further phone call this was quickly corrected. This required a new shipment to be prepared which was done without fuss. The TV I wanted arriving the next morning.

Liked the timing and prompt DELIVERY not keen on the delivery of TV the men actually brought a 65inch hisense to the door,I said that is not my TV , one of the men said no this is your TV, I explained mine was a 42 LG so the main DELIVERY man looked on his phone and went back to van and found mine,if my wife would have been on her own see probably would have accepted it, he did take his shoes off when he came in with TV which was very good Carl
