Radio Rentals

In the mid 1980's, when I first got married, I could not afford to buy a television and VCR so I rented one. My Mum had always rented, so I felt if was good enough for her then it was good enough for me. I went to my local show room which at the time was D.E.R (remember them) I chose a video and T.V package, paying slightly less for them both that way, I forget just how much it was at the time. In time D.E.R became Radio Rentals, I carried on with the same agreement, a TV and video package and changed models probably every 4 or 5 years. For the last five years or so I have paid £22.99 a month. More recently Radio Rentals became Box Clever. ...  Read the complete review

The service I recieved from Radio rentals ranks among the very worst I have been treated by any company ever. You would think that renting a washing machine would be easy, but with Radio rentals it most defineatly was not. It started out well enough I went into the store on Monday filled in the paper work and was told I would receive a call on Wednesday to arrange a delivery date. Wednesday came and went and so did Thursday and Friday so I went back into the shop and asked why I didn't get a call. They came back and told me that they had lost all my paperwork. This was slightly disturbing as it had all my bank details on it ready for them to set up a ...  Read the complete review

I have worked for radio rentals for over three years now. I don't always agree with everything they do, but now they have merged with granada and have changed their name to boxclever we are trying to come up with new ideas. i think we offer a better service than most electrical shops i know, especially Dixons etc. Iam the type of person who likes to treat customers the way i would like to be treated myself. I always go out of my way to please the customer, as i would like them to return happy and content. people have to remember it is a hard job working with the public, and a lot of lies have been told about the staff and the company. ...  Read the complete review

I was a happy young chap. I’d got onto the second year of my course at university and I’d got out of university accommodation and into a house. A house with people of my choosing no less! As we were all friends prior to living together we bought quite a lot of ‘stuff’ for the house between us. One of these was an ex rental TV. 24” with Fasttext and a three month warranty for £100 plus £10 delivery. Not bad eh? Sure, the remote control seems to work in slow motion but it’s only a little thing. Anyway, several months after buying the TV it threw a fit and refused to do anything other than sound like the percussion from an early and angry ...  Read the complete review

We've had a TV and Video from Radio Rentals for years now, and until recently found them good value for money. We did start to realise that if we saved the money from paying for them (monthly, £12 for TV and £10 for video) we could soon start to save ourselves money. In a year the video cost us £120, easily enough to purchase a new one, so after one year we woould start to save money. Even if the video broke soon after the gurantee ran out we wouldn't have lost any money. So last year we ditched their video and bought our own. We kept the TV, thinking of Radio rentals one main advantage, if the TV should happen to break they will fix/replace it with no hassle. Or ...  Read the complete review
