Awesome price for a great TV - just compare with John Lewis to see if this is better value from them with a 5yr warranty compared to 1 yr here.

These are the same price at Richer Sounds now too, no idea of stock but they got one in for my grandparents a couple of weeks ago for £549 (was the price at the time).

Hi guys

Was trying to do this today but got fobbed off by the monkey I spoke to at Richer Sounds. First of all he said the Panasonic Warranty wasn't including home stuff so wasn't applicable. I told him I might as well drive to Hispec in St Albans then as I got the 5 yr one from them and then I thought he was trying to sort something out. In the end he couldn't get through to them and said he couldn't authorise the price match grrrrr.

Any advice of a way around this?

Re: TH37PX80B Plasma £489 DELIVERED!

Got the TH73PX8B from the Next sale recently for £349 delivered - Hasnt arrived yet but it says it will -

Not sure if there is any left but it may be worth keeping an eye out!

These are a bargain if you need a 37" as Panasonic have gone over to the dark side for their new range and the LCD 37" sucks on SD big time....

Dear WJUK,

I'm sorry to hear that you experienced problems at our Weybridge store whilst trying to purchase a Panasonic plasma TV which you had seen cheaper elsewhere.

I have since contacted you via private message on this forum and believe that this problem has now been resolved to your satisfaction, with you having bought the TV from our store at the lower price.

Please let me assure you that I have now taken up this matter with the manager of our Weybridge store to ensure his team fully understand our price beat promise and to hopefully prevent any similar problems from occurring again in the future.

In the meantime, please accept my apologies again for any inconvenience caused and do not hesitate to contact me again if I can be of any further help in the future.

Yours sincerely,

John Clayton
Operations Director

While this doesn't directly effect me I just wanted to thank John for taking the time over the Christmas period to help highlight which retailers actually care enough to offer good customer service

And no I don't work for them

I am not normally a richersounds fan but they have recently supprised me with the helpfullness of the customer service department and can only say well done and I will happily recommend them in the future. It makes a change a company taking care with the customers it has - I suppose in times like this every little thing to hold on to customers is worth doing.

Well done Richersounds

I have to thanks John @ Richersounds for being so helpful and it's so nice and refreshing for a company to have good customer service.

I would recommend Richer Sounds to friends and family 100%.

Thanks again RicherSounds

Whenever i've wanted to stock check my local RS I've always had more luck ringing the main RS customer service number; explain you can't get through to your local store and they will then check stock in all stores in your local region for you.

when i was looking for a hard to find Onkyo 605 they drilled down and told me exactly which stores around the country had any left.

Re: TH37PX80B Plasma £489 DELIVERED!

Given you can get a 42PX80 for under £499, why would you buy the 37? (size permitting obviously)

I think this time of year is pretty damn busy and the richer sounds shops don't have a great deal of staff from what i see. Im really not suprised you cannot get through!

My local Richers was chaotic when i walked past the other day ( 3 times going back and from uni ) this was throughout the morning and later afternoon....

Re: TH37PX80B Plasma £489 DELIVERED!

Just thought that this thread was worth another bounce-
RS are back down to £499, but stocks are maybe not too great. 5 year warranty at 10% though.
Comet are also £499 and in my area, Scotland, stocks are pretty good.
I don't know of any discount codes for comet though, so if anyone could pass them on to me it may swing it in favour their way.
Any better deals than this that you know of would be welcome,
Happy New Year.
