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.


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.

Can't disclose the importer info I'm afraid. I did send 2 to KHI through TCS both arrived intact.

The price on shophive is insane got it soo much cheaper. like I said previously they charge an insane markup lol

    I dont think games have looked any better since 2019 onwards and they are performing worse and worse. Game developers have really dropped the ball.

    So while Playing Control, I found a journal which said that a bathroom is missing in Islamabad Beurue of Control. With Alan Wake and Control seems to be connected worlds. Even our city is in the universe as well. No wonder those Trail 5 and Trail 6 are haunted.
    did you know you can see @NaNoW credited in the game too ? :p

    What is peoples obsession with Battle Royale genre. 6 minutes to find a match, 3 minutes to setup a match, 2 minutes to land, 10 minutes for scavanging maybe 2 3 gunfigts and its over. Multiplayer landscape is looking absolute dogshit.
    I tried playing Apex Legends once. Couldn't find a gun for 5 minutes straight. If I found a gun, I couldn't find the right ammo for it. Got killed fighting with my fists. Uninstalled it the next day.

    I usually stay away from animes. Vinland saga changed the way i look at my life, and my experiences within. I recommend every breathing human being to watch this animated masterpiece at least once fromstart to finish.
    After I watched it, I never felt like i watched a show. It was a friggin journey. I got way too attached to Thorfinn and seeing him grow up and find himself and get rid of all the negativity inside of him was just pure bliss.

    With how great cod warzone has translated onto mobile. Mainstream Consoles have lost its value even further. Maybe console gaming was associated with TVs and how TV is not the primary source of media consumption anymore, consoles will lose its 200 million core audiences even further.
