The Ferguson Ariva 120 Combo - Why Do You Not Stock it?
Malcom asks;
Will ye be stocking the Ferguson Ariva 120 Combo box when it comes to Ireland? How much will it be?
TV Trade's answer;
Update on the Ferguson Ariva 120 Combo, it looks like our misgivings about the Audio & Video Sync Problems were well founded.
The box has only been on the market a couple of days and read what people are saying about in on a popular Irish forum. For a full dsicussion on the problems and possible fixes & work-arounds visit.....
Original answer;
Malcom, we don't know yet to be honest. We seem to be the only ones out there that actually test these boxes before selling them and do videos showing all the good and bad so the public can make their minds ups without us overselling these items. It ensures we maintain good reputation and certainly from our customer feedback, they really appreciate it.
We will get in a sample of these when they arrive in Ireland and test them. If they pass our quality and functionality tests which include a member of staff bringing the box home for a few days and using it in a home setting, then and only then will we put them on public sale. We find this to be the best way of doing things as returns are good for no one, especially the customer.
It makes me wonder about some of these other companies that are selling it as a backorder already and they do not even know if the box is good or bad given the reputation in the trade of the previous Ferguson Combo.
The last revision of this box wasn't great to be frank with freezing issues and terrible audio and video syncing problems, so we are not going to commit to something that has a bad track record.
If it is indeed good, we will stock it but that yet is to be seen and the pricing will be in and around other internet sellers.
Only time will tell on this but I for one would not rush out and buy one just yet, wait until we have tested it or other people who have felt the need to rush in and buy one off the boat have reviewed it.
