Currys, Comet or Dixons ?

My freezer and TV have both 'packed up' and need replacing, i'll probably order from online store but as they're around the same prices, does anyone have any good or bad experiences to choose between the different electrical stores?
thank you

    My fridge freezer broke the other week. I had a look around the couple of shops and curry's were the ones who could offer me next day delivery for about £20, so went with them. The rest of the shops were 5-7 days. Can't do without fridge that long in the summer, hence why Curry's got the sale. They were all around the same price anyway.

  • Hi,

    Generally Currys would the be the cheapest bricks and mortor retailer - but as Dixons is purely online it would be the cheapest out the 3 - keep in mind Dixons is the umbrella for Currys and PCworld, prices will differ between online and stores though. So if you want to save a little bit more buy from Dixons. They, from experiance are the cheapest not 100% about availability of next day del from Dixons though.

    Have you a local Euronics store nearby? Our one usually will do good deals and also offers free delivery.
  • My FF died, and I found the best offers are from companies not on the above list. I also factored in the cost of collection of the old model for recycling.

    Appliances Online, Appliances Direct, Appliance Deals, 365 Electricals are worth checking as are eBay and Amazon.

    Don't forget to use Quidco, too - you'll get at least another 1.5% off the Curry's price if you use Quidco and probably off the other retailers, too.

    You need to look at all your prospective retailers on the Quidco site and then work out the nett price (including delivery costs) of each one after whatever Quidco knock off for you as well.
