    I tried mailing RS to no avail. Eventually got them on the phone yesterday. Seems like they are very low on stock and are expecting a restock next week sometime. After thinking about it for the last few months I finally bought the 43" PZ80. It was down to it and the W4500.
    Even with sterling as low as it is I got a fairly competitive deal down south.

    I must say I have being on the Email to John at RS for the past 3 days and every question and request I have made I have got the answer I was looking for....Great service before I buy anything. Couldn't be more helpful and at fab prices. The KDL40W4000 is coming in on the 19 Jan for anyone interested, like me...

    Just rang Belfast there and theres no stock of the Samsungs either:(:(. Apparently, you'd be waiting as long for a 40" Samsung as a 40W4000. The nice chap on the phone said that its much easier for them to get a Panasonic or Pioneer tv at the moment

    Guys!!! wooooooo...

    here is the real story on the 40W4000 - we are P R O V I S I O N A L L Y hoping to see stocks again WEEK COMMENCING 19th January - that is when we have been informed that stocks will start freeing up in the UK again - however please don't read that as a cast iron guarantee - I have put a special request in this morning for additional stocks of W4500 and W4000 but I don't anticipate much better luck - however I will keep you posted.

    On the Samsung LE40A686 - again we are out of stock - however we hope to see limited stock of this latest week commencing 12th January (maybe a few days earlier)

    On the second subject of answering emails - we really are trying our best to plough through all your emails - we are receiving approx 300 emails a day to the Belfast branch alone - all of which I do try to reply to individually - if you send us a PM WE CANNOT REPLY TO IT - as our PM box is premanently full - we have asked the nice head Boardies for an increase in our mail box but we are still waiting for that at the mo..


    If you do have a query please just drop a line to sales@richersounds.ie or johnmc@richersounds.ie and we will do our best to reply asap.

    Thanks

    Hi John,

    I tried to get you on email last week again, I appreciate you are very very busy so no worries - can you just clarify if you "provisionally" expect to see the 40W4500 in stock around the week of the 19th too, as well as the W4000?

    And do you think you'll have enough for mail-order customers? I'd maybe consider making a trip up some weekend if it was "in-store" only, but obviously delivered to door would suit more.!

    I realise you can only give me a best guess right now, but if this particular set is going to be in very short supply indefinitely I'll probably try my luck elsewhere before the missus forgets she gave me permission to buy it :)

    cheers,
    Joe.

    Joe,

    Apologies - I only have (limited) info at this stage on the W4000 and at this stage I have no info on the W4500 - my reports from head office for the W4000 say 'available week commencing 19.1.9' however I have no quantities against this - all I can do at this stage is keep you guys posted via this thread which I will try to do on a regular basis.

    Re. The price increase on the KDL40W4500 again I am afraid that this is beyond my control and anyone who has ordered one prior to the increase will have the original price honoured!

    Sorry I cannot be any more helpful this time!

    ATB,

    John Mc

    Thanks for that John. Sure keep us posted and leave me on your waiting list - I may go for it locally in the meantime if the wait becomes too much!!

    Sterling is starting to gain strongly against the euro again the last few days too which is a real bummer :eek:

    Something for you to consider John. If you become a subscriber (€5 month / €60 year), your PM box size is increased to 5,000.

    Invincible - its still £899.95 on their site tonight (check the link above) - I have no issue beating any cheaper price, but as most of you guys know I just cannot get my hands on stock at the moment - until until we can clear our existing back orders we are not even taking orders (which as I am sure most of you Boardies know is not in our nature!)

    Drop me a line if we can assist in any way to johnmc@richersounds.ie and thanks again for the mail,

    Hi John,
    As I was browsing their site on Wednesday night,(as you had'nt it in stock),I did'nt see the 40W4500 listed so I entered details to their search bar,this created an email enquiry,they sent a reply on Thursday evening,that's where the price of £879 and £14.99 for delivery came from.I'll give them a call tomorrow to enquire if it's misinformation:confused:

    Thank's

    I rang them this morning in their Belfast store and the salesman confirmed the price of £879 with delivery of £14.99,due in stock in about a week.

    Hi John,
    You probably did'nt see my previous post yet,the 40W4500 has increased to £949.95 on your site,£100 in under a week of an increase,or is this a mistake ?

    Thank's John.

    p.s: The link that you have in your above post John is for the 40W4000.

    Increased price is probably due to recent devaluation of sterling? I'd say now is the time to snap up existing stock, as future imports (to the UK) will cost more, so price increases will inevitably follow.

    Sony themselves (as well as many of the other electronics giants) announced before Christmas that there would be price increases in the new Year - up to 30% in some cases :eek:
    As well as that, stocks of Sony TV's seem to be in very short supply everywhere. I picked up the last W4500 in a Sony Centre on Saturday and they weren't getting any more in till mid February at the earliest. They even had Panasonic and Samsung TV's up on display!

    Hi John,

    I ordered the 40W4500 when it was £849.95 - think i was about 9th on your list. Will you still be able to honour that price at the time of the order or will the new price apply?

    Have you any idea yet when you will have stock in for the back orders?

    Thanks.

    Guys,

    sorry I missed these posts!

    I have not had a sniff of the 4500's yet and everyone else appears to be in the same boat - if/when we do get any more- we will be honouring all outstanding orders 1st before we release any stocks to new Customers.

    Thanks again,
