    Uktvsdirect

    Has anyone every heard of or used uktvsdirect.co.uk?

    They have a TV i have been looking to get for the last 6 months at £500 - £800 cheaper than anywhere else.

    I cannot find much information about them so that plus the low price makes me suspicious of buying from them.

    I mean I could take a chance and order and pay using credit card so I have some protection but really don't want the hassle.

    I wouldn't chance it. If there's that much of a price difference it sounds too good to be true.

    No real identity, and domain registered a week ago. They do have a phone number and address - if you're near you could rock up and say hello Or give them a ring and see what they say in person, probably the best way to fish them out. New company, don't know what they're registered under themselves in Companies House. Personally I wouldn't.

    Must be a shiny TV to be £500 - £800 cheaper than elsewhere - that's more than I'd pay for a TV!

    Legally a registeed company should have its registration number somewhere on the website.
