BeoCom 5 is having several minor issues sorted before release.  This is to do with a particular factory....👍  This is due to a new QC mgmt in place which has picked up on several issues that they would like to sort before release.  This comes from the top and throughout the organisation, from Kalle through to test shops.  Overall, this will improve the product.

Bang is really dealing with some issues presently, that will ensure the furture of the company is bright.  They are taking issues of quality very seriously indeed and are making drastic changes to ensure this will be par none.

I'm not surprised.

Firstly, yes, finally a good looking/reasonably performing Beo TV since a long time back. (last time Avant)

Secondly, I can imagine Beo being careful not to overstock a product in these times.

However...

There's no excuse for your promised TV not to be delivered once promised. You even made a down payment. 

I'm a bit harsh in these cases. I would go for a reduced price, or an item thrown in for good measure, or cancel the deal. 

-You lived up to your part, why shouldn't Beo and your dealer do the same?!

A first year student in commerce & retailing knows that shipping delay is one of the most important issue to boost your sales. When a customer comes to a shop and cannot go back with his product, you take the high risk that he will not come back and will go to the competitors next door or next click...

No surprise if  B&O goes to bankruptcy : TV's pricing, delays, points of sale,  everything is doomed and seems to come from an old world. Wake up ! It's unbelievable that they did not make a stock for the first buyers.

I think that this company does not want to make business. When a potential buyer comes to your shop, today it's an honnor, it's a chance to make money. So many chops are closing !!!!! You must be able  to sell him the product immediatly or ship it in a week, it's an absolute requirement.

With B&O  Shops you take the risk for a down payment  (a lot of shops are closing...) and you wait for 10 weeks (at least).

B&O is now a nobrainer brand for me, except for speakers (and Lifestyle has some very good products with a short shipping delay).

No way.
