Used them loads, for expensive items too, laptops etc. Top firm.
TBH, with tV's, I wouldn't bother with the no name jobbies. Get a big brand, Samsung, panasonic etc.

I've used them a few times, also returned stuff to them .... they've been OK.

The TV isn't that cheap really - there are some good bargains on TV's at the moment ... think about paying a bit extra and getting something with a 'name' and reputation?

ebuyer are a good, safe company to deal with.

Sometimes cheap as chips, sometimes not. But always reliable

That particular TV looks suspiciously like a Hannspree one I have.

They're pretty good, actually. Not Samsung Series 7 good, but not "Oh my God, what have I done?" crap either.

Probably safe enough for that price, in my opinion.

Ebuyer are sound.

Not sure on your choice of TV (cheap TVs with built in DVD players have a reputation for being a bit flakey on reliability IMO ). Usually ebuyer have reviews which would quickly root out the iffy stuff, I guess this hasn't been on the shelf long to get a rating.

I have used them for years, bought lots for home and work. Prices are great, and stuff delivered quickly. There customer services lacks somewhat though!

Yeah got my LG 37" lcd tv from there a couple of years ago, not the cheapest overall, but the stand for it was cheap, so overall it was the best deal and it came next day too.

Another e-buyer fan. Last 2 PCs built was all from components from them - best choice and price and great returns policy.

The LG telly link looks far better - get a £19.99 DVD player separate!
