Advantages: Competitively priced electronic goods, easy to use secure site Disadvantages: processing time could be faster, return of phone calls to customer service slow
With the growing number of online companies selling Electronics products be it DVD players, Hi-Fi’s, Tv’s etc, the choice of shopping sites for the consumer has never been better! I was looking to make a purchase from what in the trade are known as ‘white goods’ (e.g. refrigerators, freezers etc). Before making my purchase I considered the following online and offline company’s; Comet, Curry’s, Empire direct (based ... ...Sony camcorders!), Amazon and Unbeatable. For my current purchase, I chose the online retailer Unbeatable based on a lowest price match from the search engine pricerunner. However, it would not be fair to formulate an opinion based on price alone; performance, speed of processing order, order tracking, actual delivery, and most importantly customer service are all crucial parts of the online buying process.
The following personal opinion relates ...

Advantages: Cheapest prices I could find, excellent customer service Disadvantages: Have to have goods delivered to cardholders address
Ok, shopping again! A week ago I went on the search for a camcorder - being a bit of a technophobe, I just wanted the cheapest, smallest, basic model I could find (something I could just press a button and it would 'go'!). So off I went around all the electrical stores; Dixons, Comet, Powerhouse and Currys. Apart from a horrid looking JVC one, the cheapest was a good looking Samsung character! Taking note of the prices I went on search on the web ... ...sites I came up with quite a few online electrical retailers - all were listing the camcorder cheaper than in the stores - great! Then I decided to log on to Ciao and see what sites other members were recommending (Ciao does have its uses!). It is here I came across Unbeatable. There has only been 7 opinions to date but every one recommended this site....I decided to take a look.
The website itself isn't very appealing - it looks as though it has ...

Advantages: quick easy shopping - fast delivery Disadvantages: can't think of any
...unfashionable it would seem.
Unbeatable.co.uk had lots of cookers on their site and their prices were amazing - no green one however so it was big decision time - the hob will have to stay green until it's demise but as I really didn't want a stainless steel oven, I settled for white.
My needs were simple, a single oven with grill and timer. Also price was a major factor.
Unbeatable.co.uk had it all, a Zanussi at £174 was my final choice, as long ... ...I went to work!!!!!
Unbeatable.co.uk is owned by Capital Sound and Vision in Crawley Sussex, their website has a phone number for Customer Service which is always a bonus - but in my opinion they are unbeatable and I have already chosen my new vacuum cleaner - can't afford it till the new year but I know which one and where I will be buying it from!!! ...

The Original Purchase
-------------------------------
I was shopping for an MP3 player and had decided on the iRiver H10 5Gb.
After some time searching the web for the best price, I came across Unbeatable who were offering it in a nice Blue for £99.99 + £7.99 P&P - this was at least £70 less than the best of the rest. It was a 'special ... ...and retail therapy completed in no time flat. I was very pleased.
The Headache
---------------------
The next day I receive an email from sales/customer services say they were sorry but they were unable to fulfill my order as the special offer was now out of stock.
No alternatives offered and not a valid explanation.
The Complaint
---------------------
After a few moments of deep depression, I fired of a missive to the named individual - to ...

There are so many online companies selling Electronic and Electrical products, the choice of shopping sites is mind blowing. I was looking to make a purchase for Six Fully Integrated White Goods for my new Kitchen that was being fitted beginning of January. (I would like to say this is my first time at purchasing Larger goods from an online site, and at first I was very wary)
Before making my purchase I looked around both in the shops and on every ... ...I also had to take into account that I live in a second floor flat and lots of companies will NOT deliver to anywhere apart from ground floor, and the ones that will deliver higher usually charge. I telephoned Unbeatable and was pleased to be told they would arrange two drivers to deliver to my top floor flat at no extra charge. I found www.unbeatable.co.uk from the search engine www.pricerunner.co.uk. and was also very impressed that they price ...
