Got the 58 Inch (AU7000), dont know if it is just me but some black horizontal lines across my screen. Not sure if it is from carry it when i first got it (dont recall) or load shedding but in my view, if you see anything weird in the warranty take it in.

My SOs 58 Inch works perfectly.

But at that price it is a bargin

Received an email from them now stating that stock will only arrive at the end of October and that they will be refunding me.

Product is now out of stock on the website, but at double the price.

After they phoned me, I told them that I will wait for stock.

They phoned again on Saturday and said the drive is now end of life. I've sent them my bank details and await my refund.

I will likely not order from them and would advise that folks do not order from Chavda International. They are unprofessional and unable to resolve their own problems.

So they remain in constant phone communication with you regarding what is happening with stock, and then unfortunately because the drive is end of life, they are now unprofessional..?

Keeping you on a line, because they don't know what the supply situation, is also very professional?

Also received an email to that effect: "News from our suppliers is that the item you have ordered has been put on an EOL (end of life) list due to overheating issues and been discontinued. "

I had almost forgotten about this and would just take the refund, but the same model seems to be available elsewhere? Anyone willing/able to check with Rectron?

You know most of these sites use supplier databases? So if the supplier's database is incorrect or out of date then it's not the retailers but the suppliers fault. Back in the early 2000s so often I would call a supplier for an item they said they had in stock, and then oh no, no stock and no idea when new stock was coming in. Was a huge pain to deal with.

They could have remained completely silent on the matter and not followed up at all..

You tell me which you prefer..

Possibly, they were told by the distributor stock is coming and the distributor then followed up and said sorry, no more stock drive is end of life..

If they are lying about the drive being end of life, that's another thing all together..

If you a retailer and you partner with a laxadaisical supplier, it is going to reflect on you

What drive is it?

Seagate 2TB Firecuda 530 SSD with Heatsink; M.2s PCIe - ZP2000GM3A023

It was an opportunistic/unnecessary purchase, so if the drive is EOL or they simply made a pricing mistake, then I have no issue. But according to Wootware the exact model is available, I guess it is possible that they have different suppliers though.

Still, if you pick a bad/useless supplier, it reflects on your bussiness.
