    POT KETTLE....

    I was merely responding to your very ill informed comments.

    You have commented on me and you are not aware of the facts.

    Surely that makes you ignorant?

    And if you do want to respond again please at least explain your
    opinions with more dialogue! We are intelligent here :T

    EH? Really. When was the last time Watford Electronics went bust then (apart from Feb this year?).

    This company has been going for over 20 years - far longer than Dell in fact or any number of PC manfacturers.

    I know Shiraz Jessa personally and, whislt I wouldn't necessarily trust him to pay an invoice I might send him, I would never suspect that he would deliberately set out to trade immorally.

    I think to label the company / people as crooks puts you on very dodgy ground - you might like to look up the meaning of "Libel".

    How many company names do these same people have?
    How many have folded? Maybe our laws are weak.

    I would love to be sued by them, my first witness would be
    the UK public to tell their story about them!

    If you actually bother to read the news reports (including those on the sites you have posted links to) and comments of the Administrators (who have absolutely NOTHING to do with the company), you will find that they contradict your opinions. Please post direct links to the information from which you have based your opinion.

    Actually Odd Fellow...

    Watford Electronics went into administration around 7 or 8 years ago. At the time they traded online as Watford Electronics, mainly in PC Systems. The went bump, bought it back and relaunched online as Savastore.

    The website isn't working for me either...although after reading all of these comments I'd be very wary about ordering anyway. I'd never even heard of this company before!! :confused:

    Why do they think people will order with them again? Didn't the same company that ran savastore also run Tiny and Time computers....which also went bust. You'd think they'd at least try a bit harder to change their name.

    edit: http://lifestyle.hexus.net/content/item.php?item=7782

    You're quite correct.
    Also, they were known as Watford Electronics (aka Watfraud Electronics).

    Same company, same people, same customer "service".

    Basically Saverstore is just a gold plated turd

    Quite incorrect.

    Time and Tiny completely unrelated to Watford, Savastore, Saverstore or any of their parent companies.

    Time and Tiny were owned by Granville Technologies.
