Question Hyperfi?? What they like? Anyone bought AV stuff from them?

[Waynester]

Morning

any of you used Hyperfi online retailer?
They seem to sell a lot of B Stock stuff whatever that is, prices seem very good but only a years warranty

what they like to deal with and if you have warranty issues before I shell out dosh on a new Denon AVR

would prefer to use Richer Sounds but limited stock in what I want and not the colour either...

I didn't know they were still operating to be honest. They used to have a couple of stores in Essex which were very much piles of brown boxes and end of line stock, I assume they must have gone online only to reduce costs.
To be honest, although I used to live near their stores I never bought anything from them then, and I would be wary of doing so now. I don't know the source of their stock or how kosher it is. Just my opinion, perhaps others have a different one.

Edit:
Just taken a look at the site, they claim to sell both ex-demo and "graded" stock, with the graded stock being kit that has been returned to the manufacturer for one reason or another. They actually claim that the vast majority of these returns are just due to a "tatty box", but I'm not buying that!

I emailed them once for information about a product purchase (B stock) they said it would be delivered direct from the manufacturer with 12 month warranty.

Asked about condition, they said could be anything from minor marks to badly damaged.

Nope

Not sure which Denon you are looking for but PT have a few Open box offers:
AV Receivers - Open Box - Clearance

Looked at their prices, still too expensive

I couldn't see their address on the Website, and they are not registered on the Companies House website either, or at least not as Hyperfi. Always raises a red flag for me.

Some dodgy people out there....You can't actually purchase from their website and their ebay shop is long gone. So I just had a back and forth email exchange with them just to see how they are in dealing with basic customer queries (item availability etc...) They are pretty quick in responding and i got my last reply at 20 past 10...they don't even sign off their emails which for on online business is a bit off...anyway, been told item is grade B stock....feel something's off....
