Currys

5K Posts

Looking to by a tv
did my research etc.
We did a quick visit to Currys and no staff came over but a chap representing a tv company came over
and tried to sell us their brand. He was honest and got the message we were not interested in Samsung TV's but a Sony
We looked and went home
I spoke to an online person, all is good
the next day I wanted to place an order but as tv was 75 inch OLED I wanted a bit of reassurance re the couple of hundred cashback
I tried to speak to someone online for at least a couple of hours but none was available
I looked up another retailer, rang them got through very quickly and bought the TV from them that cost a few thousand quid
and guess what, it was 80 quid cheaper when I asked for a discount.
We have bought from Currys before but they are not great and there are better people out there to buy from and cheaper.

Before you spend, remember the MSE Money Mantras. Ask yourself, do I need it? Can I afford it? If the answer is NO to any of those questions, DON’T buy it. (Quote from MSE 15/11/22)

NB: I may not have bought from Richer Sounds if the 5 year guarantee was not from the manufacturer, Richer offers 6 years with the extra year from them but I'm happy with the 5.

Thanks for sharing. IMO the co is still headed my the owner and that is why it has a good reputation.

Anyway, the warning is that some accessories they only sell as own brand, and can be overpriced compared to other retailers.
