1 star too many!!!
I would have gave zero stars if possible. I went into the shop, not all things were available so I had to order online. They were not able to do it for me, so I ordered from my phone, set up account etc etc… Paid extra for a before 12 delivery, which never arrived before 12. The shop experience wasn’t much better as they tried to charge me £1500 for an £80 cable. Something wrong on the system apparently. Not a great experience!
