    I know that, but they bought the ASSETS of Tiny AFTER they went bust, not before.

    The earlier poster implied that Tiny were part of Watford Electronics before that, which is not the case.

    Watford also bought several other computer manfucaturers/sellers from their Administrators after they went bankrupt.

    No doubt someone will also claim that these companies were part of Watford BEFORE they went bust too....

    The truth means what actually happened.
    Not according to me but fact not lies.

    How come you people that have attacked me don't read:

    http://www.theregister.co.uk/
    http://www.hexus.net/

    Can you not google even?????

    They swindled everybody and get away with it:confused:

    Theres nothing on those sites to confirm savastore / WE went out of business before this year - that was your orginal claim "they've done it before" - so back it up.
    I've used savastore and on the whole had a mix experience. Unfortunately for them, some of the good staff, especially on the counters left and the new ones just didn't realise exactly who put the money in their pockets.

    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!

    I'm sorry, but as you are unable to back up any claim you've made with EVIDENCE, your anecdotal comments are with without value.

    What does it matter how many businesses they have?

    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.

    This is not my understanding at all. Savastore was an on-line trading style of Watford Electronics. WE was the company behind Savastore.

    This is now from memory, so, please no flaming if someone can prove me wrong. I believe that WE launched SavaStore purely as an online operation to help develop a channel where the name Watford Electronics was entirely misrepresentative (ie, no longer in Watford and Electronics being far too broad a category for the business it was ostensibly in).

    Please provide links to prove the rant you have posted above.

    'Their family come in as receivers' my @rse.

    'They hide the money they screwed out of the public'. Your evidence is where?

    They're just not efficient and don't make profits, hence they go bankrupt. Same as any other business which fails. Watch out Jessops, you're next...

    They haven't done anything illegal as far as I can see.

    YOU KNOW NOTHING, DO YOU OWN THEM? IF SO CAN I HAVE THE ITEMS OR MONEY THEY STOLE FROM ME. AND NO, I DONT HAVE TO BACK IT UP TO YOU, YOU'RE A NOBODY.

    https://www.saverstore.com

    Now owned by Globally Ltd (basically the same people who owned it before...)

    If you were a Savastore customer your login details are already there, as they're using Savastore's systems.

    Some excellent prices at the moment - I guess they are clearing bankruptcy stock.

    Includes 1GB SD cards for less than £4.50 delivered.

    7" digital photo frame for less than £33.00

    and many more (as they say!)

    Website is deadly slow though!!!

    DO NOT BUY FROM SAVERSTORE THEY ARE NOT GOING TO SEND YOUR ITEMS BUT WILL TAKE YOUR MONEY

    I've used savastore a lot in the past, always got my goods, and the few returns I had to do caused no problem at all....I especially like their collection service as it was near me....

    They did have their Watford shop for quite a while, but later/now are Luton based....Always had a friendly experience with the guys working at the counter...

    It has been very strange though how they just shut their Website one day....

    I read somewhere (try google-ing it) about some rumour that their couriers had not been paid, hence despatched goods were being held back by the couriers. I'd wait before being lured into any huge discounts on the new web-site. Could be a severely delayed (or even non-existent) delivery.

    People in/near Luton, fancy shedding some light on whether the shop is still open and running business? That would be a good indication of whether the company is really back in business.

    Withabix you seem to cherry pick my comments?
    If you reply why not answer all questions?

    I have read they say they worked of a 1% profit margin?
    Smoke and mirrors imho!

    If you had such a margin why rush to get the same business
    back again? Food and booze can be 400%+!

    I don't mind going to court at all, you see I have heard about
    a great plan, I send all my nice stuff to my mate Daves
    then I make a simple declaration if I lose.

    Quids in mate :T
