My new TV is turning into a saga. Having cancelled my order with the hapless Play.com (see my previous blog post), I placed an identical order with 247electrical.com, via Amazon (they're a re-seller). Order placed on Monday - Amazon emailed me to confirm - I've heard nothing from 247electrical yet. Not a single "yes we've got your order" message. I have no idea if they're on the case, or if it's got lost in the ether.
I've tried ringing 247electrical twice so far, and each time have been held in a queue for 10 minutes, before hanging up. They have possibly the worst tinned music imaginable, which sounds like it's being piped through an underwater speaker system. You can't quite make it out, so you listen intently, only for an annoying voice to inform you that your call is important, but everyone is "busy".
So... five days without a TV so far. I've discovered that my PC monitor is quite adequate for watching DVDs, albeit a bit grainy. I'm starting to wish I'd just paid the £80 more and bought it in Sainsbury's last Saturday... maybe the Internet isn't all it's cracked up to be?
