What types of products are sold on 3pins.co.uk?

3pins.co.uk sells graded stock. All  TVs come semi-packed and have an unmarked screen. The casing is usually in an unmarked condition but on rare occasions there may be very minor superficial cosmetic hairline scratches. These are ignorable and will not be anything to distract your viewing pleasure, usually very minor, only seen when you physically stand right infront of the TV and inspect it closely. Our engineers will test the TVs to ensure they are technically perfect and then they are repackaged with a full 12 months warranty.

2) Proof of name and  address - Please bring one form of ID with your name and card billing address details on, e.g.  bank/card statement, utility bill, full driving license (not provisional  license).

Can I send a courier to collect a TV?

3pins.co.uk do not allow couriers to collect any purchase from us on your behalf. This is because we always demonstrate the TV on collection for your peace of mind, and we also check your ID to ensure we are handing the TV over to the right person.
