I recently needed to buy a new freezer. I shopped around for a new whirlpool model and was suprised to find the best price at my local Currys store. They also offered 0% finance, but sadly this purchase spend cap was over my budget. We wanted to take the freezer home in the car for free, but were amazed ti ve told that delivery would in fact be charged free. No grumbles at all.

As Currys now offer large retail stores, we went to our local new opening in Chesterfield, Derbyshire. Our elderly cooker had roasted its last beef joint long ago, so we were looking for new one. I found the store to be nice and large and airy, this wasnt my experience of previous Curry high street stores. And that they offered a comprehensive display of cookers, and the sales persons were not too pushy. We finally decided on a a BEKO DC3511 for just £186. We had no problems with installation or delivery, and the cooker is still working fine after 18 months. Well done Currys, you have made giant improvements.

To all the people out there, never shop at Currys. It's the worst place I've ever seen. Every store I've been in the staff are all unprofessional. They lie about their products, saying how they've reduced them for only a limited period, but when you go back later the price is still reduced. When you buy things they tell you that it will be delivered on a certain day. They then lie and say they've been to your house when you know they haven't and then they make you wait another week. They don't give you your money back. They make you wait two months. Basically, you're better off going elsewhere. It's not worth the hastle even if the prices may be cheaper.

I recently bought a 21inch tv from currys which broke down after 22 days and was informed that I would have to contact there service engineer in order to fix it(national rates) and if that could not be done then they would replace/refund the money. After taking time off work and waiting several hours there engineer turned up and did'nt even turn the TV on let alone attempt to repair, without going into to much detail. Having spent 8 visits back and forwards to there shop and costing about £100 above the cost of the tv they felt that giving me a refund plus £10 for my travel costs was an adequate compensation for what they put me through. They do not tell you in there litrature the strings attached to this 28 day replacement/ refund policy.

I got my new pc from currys with no problems, however i would hate to have to mess about with the 28 day replacement scheme. I can imagine how most companies behave.

If you buy from currys you had better hope that the item you purchase does not breakdown. They have the worst customer service that I have ever came across and once you have spent your money they are no longer interested. When I mean it is bad I am not saying this lightly, They are extremely rude and when you ask to speak to a manager the manager is ruder. They do not record anything. managers on two occasions promise to call me back to sort my problem back. No call returned. When I called back to query they advised that they had no record of my calls (i had called on approximately 6-7 occasions and they had recorded nothing) and when asking to speak to a manager as still no callback was advised that I did not have a valid reason for speaking to a manager and would not let me speak to one. Still trying to sort this problem out as I speak.

I first shopped at Currys in 1988, when I bought a Belling cooker for £800. I've spent a lot more with them since. Yes, I've tried other stores but the service has not been better and the prices are often higher. One thing is certain no one can beat the extensive range in Currys. I've shopped in Currys from Peterborough to Ealing and Milton Keynes to Great Yarmouth. If you want to get the best from people serving you, just as anywhere else, then treat them in the way you want to be treated. Be polite, don't talk down to them, no trick questions and remember that they have a set of rules to work to. Remember rules? They're the things that help to ensure consistency and prevent chaos. Things invariably go wrong when people become unreasonable in their demands and or, ask for the rules to be bent. I've always found that working within their rules gets me a resolution. If I don't like the rules then I can shop somewhere else where I do like the rules. I've seen some really poor examples of customer service on my travels. I've not seen a single example made one iota better by a boorish consumer doing his impression of Gordon Ramsey. Everybody just gets upset and guess what? The guy on the receiving end gets resentful and probably vengeful. He does not become more helpful! Some tips to help you get results when you've had poor service: - Understand what your entitlements are. That's your real entitlements and not what you wish they were. Asking for compensation up front always makes getting a resolution more difficult. If you have genuine, verifiable losses directly attributable to the poor service then you should log these and present them later. Be clear and concise about what's wrong. Be clear about what you want done and by when. The key here is to be reasonable. Demanding that your broken TV be replaced in the next 5 minutes because that's just when the FA cup begins and you've got the lads coming round to watch is (embarrassing situation: yes) not reasonable. Remember the name of who you've spoken to and check to make sure he's clear about your complaint and that he has the relevant authority to deal with your issue. If not, ask him to put you in touch with someone that does. If he doesn't ring when he promises, ring him, or go to see him. Don't throw a fit: it doesn't help, truly. Restate your case calmly and ask for a commitment to contact you by a given time. Don't forget to thank people along the way. Surprised? You won't be when you see how this motivates most people to want to help you further. Finally, don't forget that people don't want to make mistakes, they just do. And everyone, high and low, has a limit to what they can or cannot do

I bought a plasma 42' tv only for it to breakdown on the first day of delivery, the tv was replaced with a new tv which after around 7 weeks became faulty i was told it would have to go back to get fixed leaving me with no tv for anything upto 21 days.

Having recently purchased a plasma from Currys worcester I noticed it was cheaper on the web. A quick ring to Simon Green at the Worcester branch soon had my worries reduced
I called into the store that night prior to delivery and recieved a £300 pound refund without any quibble. Well done Simon well done Currys I thought we where in for a bit of a fight. Anyone using Currys Worcester ASK FOR SIMON GREEN and you will not be dissappointed

Bought a display model maxim 11-57-32 tv on 7/4/6 at no discount after 3 stores had sent me on a wild goose chase for a store with one in stock. Paid Cash 599.00 on 9/4/7 the TV turned itself off 4 times and took a while to come back on...I was seriously peeved due to this happening. I was told on purchase that if not fully happy within 7 days return it for a refund or exchange..Take it they forgot to mention if it breaks during this period i am FUBARED. So 7 day no quibble returns is in fact a Joke. I will fight my case and shop else where in future.

I tried to exchange a mouse for my niece in the Warrington branch. They refused point blank. Manager refused to show me the shops return policy and told me that that is totally different than "his" shop policy. He was shouted "Madam" so loudly over my voice i was undermined and felt so belittled. Eventually he chased me out of the shop in my wheelchair. Never Never go there! I will never return.

When my TV broke down it took an engineer five days to come out to repair it- he never even touched it but deciding it was to go in for repair,it was a week later before they came to collect it. A further week later it was returned to me and worked for about 5 minutes before the picture went off.Just like before. I am now waiting for another repair visit knowing full well that they will take it away again.I have been without a TV now for four weeks and no doubt this will continue for some time yet. So much for having an extended coverplan...

I bought a 27" LCD TV from Currys late October 2006. It broke down 6 January 2007. The tv was just unwatchable. Currys said that as it was under manufacturer warranty then Samsung would ring to arrange one of their engineers to come out. Samsung don't have engineers within my area so they got Martin Dawes to come out. The 'Engineer' came out turned on the t.v. said yes its broken and took it away. I asked for a receipt but he said it wasn't company policy to give out receipts!! So now I have Currys Martin Dawes and Samsung to ring/email. I have phoned several times over the past few weeks to all three companies - you know the story - waiting on the line for ages - finally getting through - being passed from department to department - and then getting through to someone who said someone will call me back - but nobody returned my calls and I have emailed Samsung. I did get one call from Currys last weeks and I am now told they are waiting for a part. I made the point that the tv is less than 3 months old and I could understand if this was an old tv but surely there should be no problems about getting parts for a new tv model. I also said I have been without a tv for all this time and I can't record programmes that I need to study but that didn't get any reaction. I bought a new DVD at the same time so obviously I cant use this either. I have a 'Whatever Happens' insurance policy but regret taking it out. The problem is that Currys have stated everywhere in their insurance document WITHIN 21 days however Currys interpret it as UP TO 21 days. Which means that they will take 21 days and sod the customer. Customer Complaints at Currys just take the same view as anyone else I speak to there. In fact Customer Services doesn't exist anywhere in the U.K. - 'Customer Sarcasm' or 'Customer Don't give a dam' would be more appropriate titles to the services given. What about the message that comes up saying "Your call may be recorded" - yes it might be but even if it is its obvious that no action is taken ensure customers get good after sales service. I received an email from Samsung this morning (7 days after mine sent to them) - I had told them I had bought a Samsung TV and DVD and I would not recommend them to anyone and they simply responded they were waiting for parts!!

I purchased a Sagem rear projection t..v. 16 months ago, from my local currys store in bridgend for 1500 pounds a huge investment. Anyway it had a manufacturers guarantee for 24 months, 2 weeks ago it would not switch on, so after several hours on the phone to Currys who first of all told me that it was nothing to do with them as the tele was over a year old, they arranged for an engineer to call out. He was with me for about 2 mins, he said that the lamp was broken, and would cost 300 pounds to repair, but because it was still under guarantee I should be alright, however it is at the discretion of Sagem because the part that has broken ie the lamp Sagem do not cover. so the engineer ordered the part he said that it could take up to 7 days well it is nearly 2 weeks now and I have not heard back from him, I will never buy from Currys again,they should have at least made me aware of the fact that the lamp has a shelflife and that I could face a huge bill on top of what I already have paid when the television is less than 2 years old, plus the inconvenience of no television and no courtesy to inform me of the progress or in this case the lack of it.

I bought a washing machine from Currys 4 months ago. The pump has now gone! (to me obviously meaning it was faulty when bought) and have been told I cannot get it replaced for a new one but must contact the manufacturer under my additional warranty and wait until the very unhelpful people at Hotpoint decide to get a pump and engineer to fix it for me (obviously sticking to their very strict company policies. What happened to statutory rights, as mentioned above there is no such thing as Customer Service anymore. Buy from John Lewis apparently like M&S they will support the customer.

Customer after sales care is absolutely awful! I had to return a faulty purchase to Kirkcaldy Retail Park Branch. The shop was empty and there were at least 4 members of staff chatting. The old female staff member called Denise muttered "Oh here we go" when she saw me with my returned goods. The other staff sniggered. She then proceeded with one word comments eg "Receipt!" "Name!" etc. Her rudeness was obviously well practiced. She slapped the exchanged goods down with a scowl and no apology. The thing is Comet is right next door to them so I will just go there in future.

Currys customer care and aftersales service is non existent.five times in one morning i tried to contact the store at meadowhall retail park.each time through the so called customer call centre.the store would not pick up the phone.the call centre was unhelpful,i rang the complaints line and they were worse.the store had made a mistake on the order form when i ordered a sky+box two weeks earlier.when the engineer from sky arrived 21 dec 2007 he couldnt do the installation because of the mistake made by currys,but if i rang the store and obtained a new order number he would come back the same day and perform the installation.absolutely no chance of contacting the store,so no chance of sky for christmas,and no chance of ever shopping at currys again.

Rude staff and diabolical service. I recently went into my local store (Newbury Currys Digital) to purchase a freeview box. I had pretty much decided which one I wanted and knew that it should be one that they stocked. After a minute or two of looking at their displays I found the one that I wanted and looked arround for a memeber of staff to sell me one. There were two staff slouched over he counter at the back of the store talking loudy between themselves.

As I went over I was shocked by the language that they were openly using within my earshot and I will not repeat it here. As I went over I was met with a very lack luster 'right mate, what are you after?'. Again I was slightly taken back by the rudeness of the greeting but I pointed out the box that I wanted and asked if they had any in stock. 'dunno' was the reply, followed by a deep sigh and a trudge to the back door of the shop. He opened the door and shouted loudly for someone called Jim to bring a box down. Long story short, the box came, he put it through the till and I left. I was not thanked for my custom and was treated about as rudely as it goes.

Having got the box home and about to set it up I noticed a scruffy sticker on the top of the box. It read 'Non Saleable Faulty Product' and had another name and aaddress on it. The fault description was 'smoke coming from box'. Just as well that I noticed this before I tried to set it up then.

Upon retunring to the store I noticed the lad who initially sold it to me so I went over and approached him. I put the box down and asked him if the label was one of theirs. His response was 'never seen it before, dunno' despite the fact that it had the store name on it and was obviously from that store. He even had the cheek to tell me that the box would be alright to use and to ignore the label. I requested the box be exchaned as I was certainly not going to accept the faulty one. He disapeared fully out the back this time and did not reappear for atleast 10 minutes this time. When he did come back he was accompanied by a manager, a rather large man called Nick, who very bluntly told me that they didnt have any more of the boxes that I had purchased and I could either have the display one or pay £10 more for the next model up. There was no apology or attempt to provide any kind of customer service. I looked at the display model and it was scratched quite badly.

I declined to accept the display because of its condition and said that I would rather have a refund. The managers response was that de hadnt offered a refund, the choice was pay £10 more or take the diaply model. I pointed out that I had returned the goods only a couple of hours after purchase and that I was entitled to a refund. His response basically came down to it was his shop and he decided what rules he was going to follow and he was going to refuse a refund altogether. He also threatened to contact the local superstore in the town to warn them not to refun it either. AT this point I left the shop, taking with me the box and the label on it. I have emailed and written to Currys head office on various occasions with no response. The matter is now with trading standards.

I recent reserved a vacuum online for collection in store. It was not available in any of my local stores and the nearest was 30 miles away, however I was keen to get this particular model so I reserved it in the Solihull/Shirley Store. I made the reservation on the friday and travelled to collect it on Saturday evening. On arriving I was informed that the item was not in stock!!!! I explain that I had travelled a long way to collect it and the manager said it was my fault because they had rung me in the morning!!! This is true - i had a missed call at 9.15am but the number was withheld and no message had been left. I also explained this and the manager just kept repeating that they HAD rung me, like this was meant to solve the problem. What use is a phone call that does not leave a message and can't be returned?? The manager was rude and arrogant and was not interested the fact we had made a reservation and travelled to his store in good faith. He instead suggested we travel led to Stoke on Trent as the might have one there (a further 50 miles). We chose an alternative model and according to their system they had two in stock...but noone could track them down - according to girl on the customer service desk 'you can understand loosing one or two cant you?'. In the end we left empty handed but absolutley dismayed by the attitude of each and every member of staff we encountered. They were rude and unhelpful and obviously under the impression that it was their fault they couldnt manage their stock or communication with customers..it seemed to be our fault instead. (by the way, three days later and the item is still listed as available at that store on the website, despite them telling us the item has been discontinued and they would not be getting another delivery)
