      I bought my TV there. I wanted to physically see and compare the options I’d narrowed my choice to, and I believe in rewarding the company that provides the service I need. I’m really happy, I got a great deal on a display model.

          I think you misunderstood me. I looked online and made a shortlist of TV’s that I liked. Then I checked which physical stores near me had those TVs on display. I didn’t limit myself to MediaMarkt’s offer, they just happened to include 2 of the models I wanted to see.

      Idk but last time I bought something there and had to return it I had no issues whatsoever. They offer competitive prices at least for some products. Delivery was fast so far. It’s no Amazon but European alternatives are somewhat scarce.

      I actually had great experiences there when i need something. Customer support is also fine in my experience. A while back i bought a screen online, turned out it was curved. Took it to the store, a day after the return window had ended(!) and they took it without complaint, even as i had already opened the box. Dude even found me another one without the curve they had in stock with the same technical specs, only cost me the 10€ price difference. Fuck online shopping at this point lol
