So, I popped over to this shop with the blue and white logo, yeah? The staff there were really friendly and always helped me out when I needed it. Even the delivery guys were dead nice, not grumpy like some of them can be. But, had a bit of a hiccup when I tried to activate my warranty. Gave the number a ring they gave me, but it didn't work for three whole days, like what's up with that? I gave it a go on a Friday, got cut off twice when I finally spoke to someone. It was like talking to a robot or something, dead frustrating! Eventually got it sorted, and they told me I didn't even need to call because the warranty was activated when I bought it. Why didn't they say that from the start, would've saved me time and hassle, you know? Other than that, no biggie, the team there are pretty cool. Cheers, guys!
TV purchase with elderly grandparents
I had a really good time shopping for a TV with my elderly grandparents. The guy, Ben, who worked there was so helpful, patient, and knew what he was talking about. He took the time to help my grandparents, even though they were a bit slow. Ben was great at looking after customers and he made shopping really nice. I definitely suggest this shop, especially if you need help with tech stuff.
Dishwasher installation
I had a bit of a nightmare with the installation of my new dishwasher recently. The installers did a good job of removing the old one, but when it came to putting in the new dishwasher, things went downhill. They tried to cut and join the hose instead of replacing it, which led to a leak. Despite their attempts to sort it out, the issue persisted. Even after we pointed out the water leak, they insisted it was fine and left without finishing the job properly. To add insult to injury, they took out some planks during the installation and didn't bother putting them back, leaving a mess. Instead of sorting out the problem, they just told us to get a plumber in to fix it.
New cooker purchase
I recently bought a new cooker from the shop and opted for delivery and installation. I debated whether to hire a local electrician for the installation, but ended up deciding to just get everything sorted at once. And I must say, it was definitely the right call! The team that came to install the cooker were incredibly friendly, efficient, and really knew their stuff. They took away my old cooker without any trouble and had the new one set up in a flash. They even took the time to show me how to use it correctly. I'm really pleased with the service, top job guys! 👍
new 4g LV 55...quot... TV
NEVER BUY IN STORE as they will not refund if it's wrong with delivery you have 30 days to return in store if you open the box to check they refuse to take it back ,have asked how do you check it's OK without opening the box ? We have a bought a expensive TV that we where told would change our veiwing but not told it would not do it on an aerial and requires signing up to a pay to view system so we have a top of the range TV that is no good to us and they would not return it back in store as box was opened!
Samsung tablets
PC world/Currys are the worst. Gave me a quote and I paid for the items, then they said that I had to pay more as the price had gone up. Is that even legal? Customer services as useful as a ... in a sieve, thus far, no refund, no tablets and I'm £700 out of pocket. If I could leave zero stars I would, as all they have done is take my money.
Ipad
This is the second time we have had a problem with aftersales on products that go wrong. bought an Apple Ipad just under two years ago and it then stopped working. Would not turn back on at all. We took it into store and they tried but could not get it to turn on. They advised us to take to an Apple store shop, we took it to a store and they booked us an appointment to do a diagnostic on it. After going back for the diagnostic they said it was a integrated fault and is not repairable and advised us to go back to Currys PC World. Went there the same day and they took details and said they have to email the out of warranty department and they will call us within 48 hours but then said it would be 7 days as busy. 9 days later had heard nothing so called store and a manager said he would look into it and call back after weekend on Monday. No call back yet again so went into store the next day and after them calling up the relevant department they said they had sent a letter out offering £124 odd part refund but can not do this now as no reply. We got no letter, they had mobile number and email to contact us and nothing was even said about them sending a letter. You do not expect an ipad to only last 23 months. They should be replacing it or cost of it against a new one. But yet again they pass you back and forth and waste our time.
Will certainly not buy from them again.Gas cooker
Positive in past 15 years always had great service. Currently it has been horrendous. I have been left with faulty gas cooker which has now been condemned and voucher issued for replacement. This issue has been ongoing for over 3 months. Delivery / installation was booked for 3rd July. I waited in all day and phoned to be told it will now be 17th July, no reason given, No contact to tell me. I feel sorry for call centre staff who have to deal with things like this. I have made numerous calls and on one occasion given a premium rate number to call by one customer care agent, I wasn't told it was going to cost me premium rate call. As a 68 year old disabled person on state pension only I can ill afford numerous phone calls let alone a £10 call, ! Not once have I received any help to resolve this. So now taking the matter further. What once was a caring trustworthy company has now turned into a totally uncaring / unhelpful one who puts profits before customer services. I would cancel my order but would only get a voucher which means I would need to purchase from this abysmal uncaring company. Shame on youI'll never purchase anything from this company again.
Kenwood Mixer
I have used Currys regularly in the past but WILL NEVER USE THEM AGAIN.
If things go to plan they are fine, unfortunately it seems if you have a problem they are inflexible and incompetent. I ordered a food mixer in July, they sent a different colour to the one ordered so I returned the item to be replaced by the correct one. They lost the return and it took weeks for them to find it and many phone calls, each in a long queue to be answered. It then transpired that the ordered mixer was out of stock - perhaps why they sent a different one originally. We were given various delivery dates that came and went so with no hard timescale for delivery we asked if we could change the colour to one they had in stock. Absolutely not was the response, because the price had changed since we ordered - even though the colour we would have accepted was actually now a lower price than the one ordered. I asked to speak to a manager - this was blocked by the customer service rep who said she knew the manager also wouldn't be able to change the colour of the mixer. We were told the mixer would be dispatched automatically once it came back into stock - the website now shows stock but still no communication from Currys and no mixer. I wrote to the CEO twice - no response.
I'm writing this as yet again I wait in the Currys phone queue - its now 17th September and nearly two months since I placed the order. Going forwards I will spend my call waiting time writing negative reviews - at least I get something productive out of it. I won't be using Curry's ever again - I learned my lesson. With their approach to customer service its surely only a matter of time before they go bust and people like me waiting for resolution of a simple issue lose their money.Best shop to buy
