PC World/Currys

The other day I wanted to buy a mobile wifi unit for my workshop.
It turned out that the best deal was offered by pc world but according to their website my local branch was out of stock. The Currys website, which looks identical to the PCW one, showed them in stock (this is the same physical shop) so I did a reserve and collect and headed down there. Sure enough it was waiting for me at Customer Services.
So this is just a heads up really. If you have to buy anything from there, and believe me it was a last resort, then check both websites to see if it is available.

Currys own PCW, but they may keep separate inventory.0
