Hello everyone,
I'm looking for an LG C9 OLED tv to buy in Karachi and came across the following website: https://www.shophive.com/lg-55c9-inch-class-4k-smart-oled-tv

-Is Shophive legit? Never bought anything from them. (their shop is based in Lahore)

-Also called a guy there and asked if half-advanced payment was an option for the TV: he said no (didn't help that the guy i was speaking to was a complete douchebag who didn't care about anything I was asking, then told me to go fuck myself when I pointed out to the terrible google reviews) which is why I'm worried they might be looters or might take 3 months to deliver. The google reviews for the website don't help either as all the recent ones are abysmal.

-Last thing, if anyone knows where to get an lg c9 in karachi, be it brick or online shops, that would be appreciated!

Cheers.

Their prices showcase their attitude and behavior.
They don't really care about anything other than a profit.

The profit margins are ridiculous and CS is just as crap.
Better off getting the TV elsewhere, aftermarket support, you better forget after buying from there.

@xenmus From what I have found about Shophive is that the site functions as a type of middleman they post items online without any sort of inventory in stock and source stuff for customers charging a hefty fee, They have not been reliable in my experience.

As far as the TV is concerned it is indeed available in Lahore bought 4 units in May for myself and some friends 2 of which went to KHI, Last I checked the B9 and C9 where available in both 55 and 65in.

[OT] - Unboxing LG OLED 55C9PVA

Just bought the LG C9. Ready for HDMI 2.1 sources coming in next gen consoles and GPU's PS. It has G-sync
www.pakgamers.com www.pakgamers.com

AFAIK the guy importing them is in LHR, So no they wont be available in KHI.

Ok so the website and the people working there suck.
But as far as the price for the tv goes, its not that bad considering it isn't available here as far as I know.

Reading their policies and return service you're right about the after sales service, they'll probably dump the tv at my doorstep in who knows when or in what state and screw me over.

    Is it just me or people lately seem to defend every bad game design decision made by the devs and try to give bullshit reasons for that? Or perhaps it's because I'm on reddit and discord :ROFLMAO:
