Electronics Expo
06/13/07
The Good
Items are always in stock and their in-store product display rooms are definitely worth checking out, even if you're just in the market for a pair of 'phones (if you've got an Electronics Expo nearby, that is). Returns don't seem like hassle, just make sure you've got your Return Authorization number written clearly on the shipping box.
The Bad
Not gaining recognition for their headphone selection, that's for sure. Price-matching isn't available, and in-store returns don't look likely, considering this retailer currently has just six stores.
The Verdict
An up-and-coming retailer. These guys assure their customers receive only the best advice and products.
Electronics Expo may be a name you’re less familiar with, probably because this retailer was established in 2004, not too long ago. However, this up-and-coming company is gaining popularity rather quickly throughout the state of New Jersey. Currently, there are six Electronics Expo retail stores. Locations include Paramus, Wayne, Succasunna, Raritan, Woodbridge, and East Brunswick. Co-founder of Sixth Avenue Electonics, Leon Temiz, is its founder, President and CEO. Electronics Expo received the Consumer Electronics Daily News 2007 Dynamic Growth Award in addition to the 2006 Audio/Video International Magazine Retailer of the Year award.
Interestingly, the company is gaining recognition for their intricate product displays, especially their home theatre setups. All six stores feature various rooms, built and presented like they would be in any home. Thus, customers have the opportunity to test products in atmospheres that are similar to their home environments. In addition, the company is proud of their sales team, which includes individuals that are very knowledgeable and experienced in all home audio products.
This retailer is popular for home entertainment systems and TVs, but not so much their headphone selection. Currently, Electronics Expo offers headphone brands like Acoustic Research, Pioneer, Bose, Jensen, Denon, Sennheiser, iLuv, Altec Lansing, Technics, Panasonic, Audio Technica, Philips, and Sony. When we searched headphones at www.electronics-expo.com, about 100 results turned up. However, a few products were irrelevant, like the portable CD players and home theatre products that were dispersed throughout our headphone options. Fortunately, their items are all in stock and ready to ship within a day or two. A few items qualified for free shipping, but not many.
A downside here is that this retailer doesn’t offer price-matching on products. So if you purchase an item and then tomorrow find some other retailer sells it for less, you won’t be able to get your money back. However, their return policy is rather convenient. If you’re unsatisfied with a purchase, just make sure your Return Authorization Number is clearly written on the shipping box (NOT the manufacturer’s box), the company says.
For expert advice and phone orders, just call 1-800-252-8841. With a knowledgeable team, impressive store displays, and quality products, don’t be surprised to see a new Electronics Expo pop up around your corner soon.
