ARROGANT AND MISLEADING (24-7electrical.co.uk)

Advantages: Decent selection, good prices, efficient site
Disadvantages: Misleading delivery claims, errors on the website regarding delivery options, late delivery

**Background** This review was written as a result of expereince when we moved from a semi-furnished flat to an unfurnished house. We had basic furnishings (mattresses to sleep on, table to stick the monitor and keyboard on, a chair or two etc.) but we were in rather desperate need of large appliances. Luckily the outgoing tenant sold us her excellent cooker but we still needed a fridge and a washing machine. Local store search showed decidedly uncompetitive ...
...- works best: went online. I used several shopping engines and I also had a look at Rpoints and other reward sites (a little cashback never does any harm) to find a suitable company. Suitable in my case was defined as offering reasonable range of branded appliances at my (=basic) end of the range, at good prices and as fast delivery as possible. We also needed a company which was willing to deliver to an address different from the billing one of ...

Happy Bunny

Advantages: Free Delivery Sent Via City Link Finance Options
Disadvantages: Non that I came across

I bought a dyson from 247electrical and I have to say I am more then overjoyed with the service and the product. My old hoover completely packed it in about a month ago and I have 3 black cats and a light carpet, really not a good mix. I looked around on the internet and at the high to find something to replace the crap hoover that I have sworn at and been cursed with for about 8 months. I ordered the Dyson on Tuesday with one of their finance options ...
...to the courier city link by Thursday. It arrived today at 12:43pm Friday. I know some people have had bad experiences and when I did order my hoover I ended up finding all the bad reviews which left me feeling a bit paranoid. I REALLY needed it ASAP. However I am more then glad with the service that I have received and the prompt up to date delivery time. I was able to track the progress of my delivery without any problems and was contacted via ...

THE WORST ONLINE RESELLER IN THE UK!

Advantages: Zero, Zilch ...Narda!
Disadvantages: Online reseller who advertises products they don't even sell and who truly doesn't understand what customer service is!

I recently ordered a Vax V-028 Rapide Powerjet Pro from this online reseller. However, when the item was delivered it was actually the V-028M model ...a lower specc'd model in the range. This despite there being an accompanying photograph and specification page on their website regarding the Rapide Powerjet Pro. I was told - when I finally managed to report this incorrect order - that they don't even stock the model advertised on their site. It took ...
...their couriers to return the VAX ...and I'm still waiting for my Credit Card to be refunded 8 days after the unit was delivered back to them!. Now none of the aformentioned is particularly impressive, BUT when I wrote to the company's MD, ostensibly to chase up my credit card refund, this is the appalling reply I got: Dear Mr F... Thank you for your email and may I firstly apologise for any inconvenience this has caused. Your refund has actually ...

Is it worth it to save a couple of pounds?

Advantages: They offer goods at low prices
Disadvantages: They sent me secondhand goods

I had never actually heard of 24-7 electrical until I was doing an internet search for a Humax digibox and got to the Price Runner web site as part of that quest. Looking at the details on Pricerunner is discovered that they were the cheapest supplier of the gadget I wanted and, as they had a little tick next to their name which said 'Customer certified', I somewhat naively assumed they would be a good place to buy. Along I went to their website ...
...that their website is very clear and straightforward to use so it didn't take me long to place my order and then settle back to await my delivery. Delivery I found to be very prompt and efficient so I was really impressed. I had the goods delivered to my office address and I popped home in my lunch hour to set up the Humax box figuring it wouldn't take long as I had already had one of the previous models and I knew they were quite simple to use. ...

24-7 Electrical

Advantages: Clear website good prices
Disadvantages: Useless at delivery

The reviews of 24-7 Electrical fall into two categories: the fortunate who have had no problems and those (like me) who discover that its delivery promises are not to be believed. If you do some research on google about 24-7 Electrical, you can be lulled into a false sense of security. Believe PriceRunner or similar, and there are no problems. My experience, and that of others (see for example http://www.ciao.co.uk/24_7electrical_co_uk__Review_5436218 ...
...to order from 24-7 Electrical, go for it, but do so with your eyes open: all that glitters does not get your product delivered on time, but if you're prepared to wait and sit on hold to customer services, then it's a good deal. I however will never order from 24-7 again. ...
