I have written and emailed customer services and to the Comet directors prior to me even posting this thread. The first time to no avail, and at the second time of asking, I was casually told it would be investigated and then later told, they will continue to try and get the parts. What a load of rubbish!
They've finally come to pick up my TV, however I believe its just to shut me up and stop me from calling. I say that because I called Comet shortly after they picked up my TV and asked if the parts were in yet and how long it would take to repair, and the women on the phone couldn't answer either way, meaning I dont think they have the parts.
I bet I'll spend the next months chasing the actual repair now (that's if they even have the parts that is, which I doubt they do)....lets wait and see.
I've learnt a massive lesson from this all....NEVER SHOP AT COMET EVER AGAIN!!
I'll keep you all updated.
