PCWorld Ipswich(Copdock) The worst

Lol

Someone on the other thread said they read on the screen in PC world it stood for 'Goods Advice'
Though i personally think it should be Goods 'Advance'..

As it basically means sister companies within the DSGI group can 'swap stock' so to speak. So you pay at one place(PC world for eg.) and collect somewhere else (like Currys)

Sometimes I've known them DSL ship it over to another store within the group for collection too.

"Like to point out that the PCworld Ipswich(Copdock) must be the most unhelpful store around in this credit crunch time. The manager must really go and try some customer relation course, was not willing to GA the E410 deal from next door Currys, and Currys were really enthusiastic?"

Firstly, it stands for good advice.

OP - have you ever run a business? PC World, as I'm sure you're aware, is a shop. Just to cover all bases, shops are intended to make money - usually through the form of exchanging products for 'money', this will provide the consumer with something to play with and the shop-owner - as long as they do their job properly - some profit.

Now, this camera that you've grown attached to. Currys sell it for how much? £240, £260? Something like that, they make about £5 on that. PC World, being part of the same group, presumably paid near enough the same cost price.

PC World, being part of the same group presumably then discounted the line when it became un-profitable, so the point where it was a loss to sell them - but hey, they're not gathering dust and taking up space they could use to sell shiny, new, money-making things.

Currys were clearly glad to 'GA' this stock out of their business - as it's not worth their time selling. PC World were not keen on the idea of receiving stock that actually makes no money... it loses.

If it was your business and similar businesses around you were closing down, cost-cutting, in debt, not making money, laying people off - would you perhaps be a bit tighter with your money?
