Best Buy Closure

Today's papers are suggesting the closure of Best Buy in the UK will be confirmed later this week

At a guess they should mean a better-than-usual pre-Christmas closing down sale

Update : Sky News now suggest aiming to shut down within eight weeks

Can't believe they are shutting already. Haven't been open long; seems they weren't really given a chance.

Could be over a 1000 job losses which is awful at this time of the year.

Can't believe it - they have just been opening new stores recently ! Was hoping for one in my local area - Competition to shake up the currys/pc world monopoly !!

As johnny says in post 1, confirmed according to Sky and others.

I just ordered a TV from the online site, still time to cancel. I'm now worried that if I buy it and need to return it as faulty in a few weeks, I won't be able to. Any idea if I should just cancel and buy elsewhere?

the truth of the matter is they where over priced from the start except on store opening deals. with the like of pricecomparison engines around google, pricerunner and dealtime to name but a few.

another one that is an aged dinosaur is comet years ago they where one of the better priced out there then dsg put a spanner in the works on that as one brand was killing the other 2 dixons and currys so they jacked the prices up.

the purpose of "best buy" was pile it high, low pricing with great product knowledge and excellent after sales apparently like the americans do. The major problem was best buy was set to fail after i looked into alot of different products i could get all of them cheaper else where no danger i'm mean who wants to buy a product then look around for a better price for them to give you 10% of the difference after you have bought it? lets just do there job for them, i would just want best price to start with. also the market place is overflooded with suppliers there is no money in it anymore well not high gain profit to run superstores where rents are sky high. anyway i do feel sorry for the staff. and if the likes of comet is sold for £2 where is it all going?

What are you on about? Comet has nothing to do with DSG, so they can't make it raise its prices to protect Dixons and Currys.
