Retailer reviewIndexed Aug 21, 2026Cost market · MixedSource-linkedVerify source — Trustpilot review

Trustpilot review by Michael McCaw (18 July 2026). 85-inch Samsung TV bought ~16 months earlier suddenly stopped working. Support required taking it to an authorized shop; mounted heavy TV could not fit in car, and on-site visit quoted $250. No further helpful follow-up on emails/calls.
