Unbeatable Beaten
Unbeatable.co.uk, the low cost online electronics retailer, has gone bust. They were one of the first online shops that I used (to buy a pair of speakers) about 7 years ago. A real pity as they regularly had some really good bargains.
As always the moral of this story is to use you credit card for any sizeable purchases as any problem with the goods or retailer become the card company's problem rather than yours. Lets be careful out there.

That really sucks, I have bought a lot of stuff from them and their service was always good. Warehouse isn't far from me so I used to collect. My local Sony Centre is through them as well, but was too pricey to buy from!

I've noticed that a lot of people on forums now scour the net for the chepest price and then trot along to John Lewis' and get a pricematch along with their legendary level of support (such as 5 year warranties etc).
Support is the key to it all. I noticed on the link I gave to a forum thread about Unbeatable that they had a no quibble returns policy which may have led to their downfall.
I'm sure there will be many more big name retailers teetering on the edge, hence my post about always using a credit card. Mad not to.
