A positive out of a negative

Whilst I had a disappointing experience with a TV being delivered damaged, it was very quickly resolved and also price matched. Dan did an exceptional job and I know the damaged TV was down to packers and distribution. The customer service was as expected from Richer Sounds; excellent .

Delivered late but that was traffic congestion. Good to see my product was securely strapped in. Sound bar was different to one advertised. I'm not an expert so don't know if it is of the same spec or better or worse?
