Additionally, we have partnerships with major UK distributors, allowing us to obtain excess or last year's stock from various companies.

Quality Checks for Each TV/Product:

We take the quality of our products seriously. Here's how we ensure the items meet high standards:

  1. Warranty Validation: We verify the validity of the warranty or provide our own retailer warranty. In some cases, due to the nature of liquidated stock, serial plates from manufacturers might be missing.

  2. Usage Validation: For TVs, we check the viewing hours to ensure the product has not been previously used. This helps us ensure you receive a product in excellent condition.

  3. Rejection Policy: Any product that doesn't meet our strict standards is rejected. These items are then sold to local traders. We only sell products that pass our rigorous checks to guarantee customer satisfaction.

Important: We understand how crucial it is for you to receive a flawless product. That's why our delivery process includes unpacking and turning on the TV for your inspection. Please carefully examine the item before signing for it, as any physical damage reported after signing cannot be claimed.
