remotes dot com.

I need a new remote for a television, but am hesitant to order one from them since I don't know ANYTHING about the company - I just found them online 10 minutes ago.

Any transaction experience with them would be great to know!

2 or 3 years ago I ordered a replacement remote for my bedroom TV from them. It was advertised as a new product but was not. Worked fine however.

Do you need the manufacturer's specific remote for the TV? Or could you use one of the inexpensive remotes that are pre-programmed with different manufacturers' remote codes? You can get these for $8 - $15 at WalMart.

  Thanks for the thought. For the time being, I'm only looking for an original product remote. Remotes dot com appears to have it, so I still want to know if anyone has done business with them, and what their "customer experience" has been.
  
  Due to the lack of replies, I'm starting to think that they're a small shop and not well-known.
  
  Thanks!

    I believe my wife bought a remote from them about five years ago.
    
    It really ticked me off. I had found her an inexpensive stereo for use in her classroom. It was an attractive unit to play CDs, and FM, with separate speakers. I think it was about $60. About a year later the remote disappeared. She came home and asked me what to do. I told her to keep looking for it and I'd check into a replacement, thinking to myself that I'd see if a $7 universal would work on the unit. In the mean time she went online and bought a new remote for about $25. Of course, later she found the original remote which was stuffed in a drawer with a bunch of junk....then a couple years later a substitute teacher broke the stereo!
    
    You might check Goodwill if you want an original. Odds are against you, but our local Goodwill usually has a large pile of them.
