Last year we bought a new washing machine from them, we decided to buy online as we couldn't make up our minds when we were in the shop and having had our washing machine out of action for almost two days we needed a new one quick! With things like washing machines, ... Read review
Advantages: NONE AT ALL Disadvantages: Lied to, not called back when told I would be, no-one seems to know what they are talking about
I have never ever experienced such awful, incompetent service from a retailer. Over the last 6 weeks dealing with Curry's I have lost count how many times I have been told someone would call me back and they haven't or given misinformation.
I ordered a washer/dryer which did not work and got it changed through the manufacturer. This one worked for 5 days before breaking which is when I contacted curry's to get a refund. The girl I spoke to on the ... ...for a different machine which i did but was aware that Comet had this in store at a cheaper price, she informed me that they would price match the washer/dryer but it would not arrive instock until 15th Oct. I agreed to the exchange as long as I could get a weekend delivery as I had already taken 2 days off work to await deliveries. The 15th Oct came and went and i finally contacted curry's on the 22nd Oct to find out what was happening. They had ...

Advantages: efficient delivery, easy to use website Disadvantages: None as yet....
I am one of those people who like to research before buying...and I had read reviews of Currys which were less than complimentary...but the tumble dryer I wanted was offered online by them at a good price, with free delivery and free recycling of my old machine.
I owned a washer dryer (never again). The washer broke and I decided to replace it with a seperate washer and tumble dryer. I had purchased a washing machine and was buying the matching ... ...The site was easy to use and ordering was simple.
Almost immediately, I received all the relevant confirmations by email...and the day before the dryer was booked to be delivered I received a phone call from customer services to confirm and check all the details.
The delivery was on time, with two guys who were very helpful. They installed the dryer, and disposed of the packaging. They also took away the old washer/dryer. It was all done very efficiently ...

Advantages: Helpline agreed the events below shouldn't have happened. Machine replaced at store. Disadvantages: See below!
Ordered a new laptop PC this morning to pick up from the Currys at Broadfields Retail Park, Aylesbury. Collected it this afternoon and should not have accepted the package I was given - the outer packaging was slightly damaged and just after leaving the store, I noticed that a "void" tape at the bottom of the packaging was already cut. On getting the machine home, it was immediately clear that the machine had been purchased by someone else and returned ... ...apparent that someone had (pretty incompetently) attempted to "wipe" the machine. When Windows Vista started up, I was presented not with the registration dialog I expected from the Acer instructions, but a log-in screen with Vista accounts for Ian and Katherine. If you read this, Ian or Katherine, the cats on Katherine's desktop background are very cute, and the password on Ian's account was rather easy to guess. But any personal files in your documents ...

Advantages: Good online experience Disadvantages: Horrible customer service
I recently shopped with Currys online.
The online experience was very good and I was completely satisifed by the service upto that point. I did however find the goods I was buying elsewhere (Dixons) cheaper.
On discovering this and realising Currys offer a price promise I promptly rang them, I was however told that they do not price match Dixons as it is part of their group?
I was not satisfied by this and asked them to cancel my order - to which ... ...the complaints department.
The complaints department informed me there was nothing that could be done, they couldn't cancel the order, they couldn't help me and if I wanted to write in and complain nothing would come about from it - as they would deal with it.
I was shocked and appalled by this, I was interupted, shouted at and the operative was the rudest "customer service" staff i have ever spoken to.
In the end I decided to leave it and just ...

Currys is a leading electrical retailer selling a wide range of electrical goods from TVs and DVD players to Cookers and fridge freezers. They are one of the better priced electrical retailers out there beating Argos (and for the mostpart Comet) hands down. Although they are reasonably well priced the customer service lets them down. In my opinion anyway. Stores are well laid out with lots of products on display. They stock a good range of products ... ...market isnt really catered for. Currys often have sales or offers on which makes the products even better priced. If you buy online you may also be able to get a better discount. I recently bought a TV from Currys online. We went in store and quoted the price we'd seen on the internet. The salesman said that they couldnt match the online price (even though they have a price match promise!) As they are the same company we said we would take one away ...
