As mentioned. Richer sounds seamed to have plenty in stock when I was looking for a new t.v for my mother the other day. It’s getting delivered on Thursday as well.

I bought an LG OLED just after Christmas; for the model I wanted, only Richer had stock. They were prepared to discount further for the business and gave a 6 year guarantee (others were offering 5); also managed next day delivery at what must have been a crazy busy time.

Yes there is, I had to hunt for a model, all out of stock accept Argos. Also struggling to get a printer, all majors out of stock. I'm told there are containers stuck in docks around the world.

Yes, a massive one!

I know some dealers have been told 'no LG Stock until Feb at the eariest.

Covid, Production, Component Supply and a massive 2 - 3 day fire at a chip manufacturer.

Plus shipping costs through the roof at the moment.

I have not noticed that, but I have noticed that the TV we bought about 6weeks is now 200quid more expensive.
