GeoBW Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) Hi All, what is the experience of buying from Selby? Is there a better site for buying, for example, Krix speakers? Sorry if there's already a thread on this, if there is then please direct me to it. Cheers George Edited May 16, 2021 by GeoBW misspelt Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Marc Posted May 16, 2021 Administrator Share Posted May 16, 2021 They’re up there with the best for fast shipping, communication and customer service. I’m a regular online shopper there for all my accessories. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ICUToo Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 Needed some cables- took your advice, Marc, and ordered from them Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
glenm64 Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I've only used them for cable and fittings etc. Good fast service. They stuffed up an order once, I rang them and it was sorted. They told me to keep the wrong plugs, can't ask for more than that I thought. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Rock Puppy Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 (edited) I've bought a bit of stuff from them (cables and bits and pieces) and I can't fault them. Never bought any big and expensive things there, but I can't see that would cause any difference. They often get mentioned on here without criticism, so that's something else in their favour, too. As an aside, when I first came upon them, they seemed to be mainly an accessory type of place, but now seem to have expanded into a full-on Hi-Fi shop, and good on them! I think they are a member on here, too, which is a good reason (at least to me) to consider them.

audiofeline Posted May 16, 2021 Share Posted May 16, 2021 I bought some cables from them online, and found them reliable, prompt and professional. I also recall their home theatre presentations at the hifi show. They seemed to be very organised and professional, and appeared to be knowledgeable on their products and how to use them to their potential.

lemarquis Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Bought my Vincent amp from Selby on special. No fuss transaction. The unit was at the other store when I went to pick it up. No problem, they whipped another one out from the back. Very helpful. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Poort Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I've ordered a few items from Selby online. Fast shipping, good communication. Overall excellent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pete_mac Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 They've been my go-to for numerous components for over a decade now - particularly TV wall mount brackets. 10+ transactions and all have been perfect. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
April Snow Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I have also purchased from them a few times for accessories and give them a big thumbs up - no issues, fast shipping and well packed for delivery too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grumpy Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 Years ago on another forum (audio and video lifestyle magazine forum ) SELBY supplied members with a set or two of rca cables and a set of speaker cables to trial and then pass on to the next member, all around the country - no cost, just trust to return them at the end of the country wide trial and maybe some feedback on our findings Now that is a company worth considering for future dealings. - YES ? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
08Boss302 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 have had nothing but good experience with Selby and my purchases, shipping super fast too. As a matter of fact I bought an amp from elsewhere and Selby are the importer and they still did a ripping job of looking after me on the fix (which was just a globe) but during the pandemic was a nightmare as it came from Germany.

Dingbat Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I've bought various small bits and pieces from them over the past year, ordered online. No big expensive items, the most elaborate were a few IsoAcoustics items. A few different shipments overall, everything was shipped and delivered promptly, had no problems at all with the orders.

TheBlackDisc Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) I bought some spikes from them. I completely stuffed up and thought it was a 4 pack when it was single. Too pricey for eight for me (not because they were bad value, but because I’m cheap) and they instantly refunded it when I called them with my mistake - can’t ask for better than that.

Dawso8 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I bought my Audiolab 6000N streamer from them. Great service (had to wait for them to restock, and they contacted me once it was in), shipping and price. Highly recommend Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hi Fi.2 Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 I’ve bought many hi fi accessories from Selby and they provide first class service and very reasonable prices. There pricing for Krix is cheaper than other sites when I have researched Neuphonix MkII. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emesbee Posted May 17, 2021 Share Posted May 17, 2021 (edited) I have bought various types of cables and banana plugs from them at different times. My experience is the same as others here, I have found their service to be prompt and reliable. Edited May 17, 2021 by emesbee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm now doubting my old fart memory and although i' m almost sure it was SELBY, it might have been another company that supplied the above trials. Do any other AVL forum members remember this?
