HDMI Cable (2m Gold v1.3b) - €3 delivered [Amazon]

Basq · 2010-04-26 10:49:46

Could be useful for your eBuyer Blu-ray Player, costs 60p (plus 1.99p P&P, and it doesn't qualify for free shipping as it's a Marketplace Seller). It's 2 metres but if you need anything longer than that, I recommend these! * Buy it @ Amazon * tee hee hee!

Ordered it 20 days ago. Still haven't received it. The seller memorycapital just sent me a generic email.

We are sorry to hear that your item has not yet arrived.

As stated on our listing and also seen from our feedback, all items are shipped first class within 24hours of receiving payment.

All items are placed in to the hands of Royal Mail, who sometimes fail to deliver on time. Royal Mail guidelines state we should allow 15 Working days U.K orders and 28 Working days for international orders before an item is considered lost. After this time we can take further action and replace your order.

Please be advised we are working extra hours and are in constant contact with royal mail to ensure all the items we send are delivered.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused. Thank you for your co-operation

Doesn't sound very promising.

Hopefully they'll be more helpful after I wait the 28 days. I really think they won't get back to me after then, just trying to fob me off.

You can get a HDMI in Argos for €6.99. Its the best price I've seen in a brick and mortar.

ah lads, ye're wasting your lovely HDTVs with this cheap muck, you need solid gold plated 100% pure oxygen kryptonite infused mega monster cable.
If ye have a TV that cost a grand you need to budget at least €300 for a good cable

No point for a short distance though, signal is digital, picture should be the same

If it was longer distance then there may be issues sending 1080p etc

More here. £2.99 with free delivery (as part of an order >£25)
And they normally cost £35, so they must be good!

Thanks for the info on HMDI cables. I'm buying a plasma at the moment, so I won't give too much credence to the salesman when he says that he will throw in a free cable to seal the deal
