“Too much to mention but please trust me do not buy any white goods from curryspcworld online if there is a fault the returns procedure is a nightmare. I spent three weeks without an oven before they collected the faulty one, after first sending an engineer out too verify the fault. The oven was faulty from delivery. They have had the oven returned now for a week and i am still not refunded. Phoning customer services is another nightmare waiting for ever for them too answer. Please shop else were.”

“DO NOT BUY ONLINE FROM THIS SHAMBOLIC COMPANY. I ordered a laptop online for collection in store well in time for Christmas. It was due to arrive on 14 December. It has not. It is now 17 December. I tried twice to get through to their customer services team to chase it, holding on for half an hour each time, with no reply and no indication on the irritating recorded message of how long the wait would be. I emailed them, only to receive a standard reply saying they’d respond in 5 days. I went to the store. They have these computers in stock but refused to either refund my money (£600) or give me a computer. They kept saying ‘procedure’ prevented it and that the online and retail stores were entirely separate ( not to customers they aren’t). The staff called customer services ( I had to hang around for an hour waiting for them to do this) and were told the computer had been lost in transit. At no point had anyone from the company thought to query why the delivery had not arrived; if I had not chased it nothing would have been done. Despite this I was to be given no refund or computer unless I called them myself to tell them what the staff had already told them ( ie, that I want a computer or a refund). I was told the likely wait on the phone would be between 45 mins and an hour and a half. I am expected to hang on for this time period to talk to them, then wait seven to 10 days for a refund. I can’t afford to buy my son another Christmas present, meanwhile. All this despite their website trumpeting the festive season and how we should buy gifts from them, and giving dishonest delivery dates. Their administrative procedures and customer services are wholly unacceptable”

“Having ordered a psvr starter pack on the 24th of the November 2017 witch none were in stock so had to order having told be ready in 2weeks time so after 2weeks I hear nothing so I go to curry's to see if my purchase was there, they tell me no one had even ordered my purchase so they reordered the psvr for me and that I would get a phone call when it was in, I get a phone call on the 17th of Dec 2017 saying they have my games so I come in hoping they have it all together ready to take away yet to be told they don't have everything and that I will receive my purchase on the 23rd of December 2017 witch is a very inconvenience to me as that's the day I will be celebrating Christmas with my children as they don't unfortunately live with me and all curry's could say to me well we can reorder a new one if you cancel your order so I would lose out on the offer and have to pay more but why should I have to do that for there mistake! Thanks very much curry's for trying to help! More then disappointed”

“Ordered a new oven from Curry’s. Booked a day off works so the oven could be delivered. I never arrived. I was given a new date. Again, I booked the day off and again, the oven was not delivered. After one hour in the phone we were told it’s out of stock. I eventually went to my local curry’s and cancelled the order. I was offered an inscincere apology, but no explanation, compensation or gesture to acknowledge two wasted days off. I will never buy an item from curry’s in the future.”

“I ordered a washing machine on-line and paid by paypal for home delivery, installation and removal of old unit. The delivery men refused to take the old unit away as they said it was still connected and would not wait for the couple of minutes it would take to unclip the plastic pipes !!. therefore no installation or removal !, After eventually contacting Currys they said they would rearrange everything in 3 day time. guess what - they DID NOT turn up !! So i had to install it myself !! guess what - the washing machine has a FAULT F6 and my washing is locked in the washing machine !! . Trying to contact Currys by phone is a nightmare as nomatter how many times you phone there is always a 15 minute wait. I would like a complete refund and removal of the faulty washing machine and...to have my clothes back. Plus - what about the 2 days wasted time waiting for the so called KNOWHOW to not arrive !!”

“I bought a pair of Bluetooth headphones as a gift for Christmas from a local Currys store, I wasn’t sure if the Bluetooth would connect to our tv but was told about the returns policy and to bring them back if the Bluetooth didn’t work or if I had any issues. I tried the headphones out properly when I got home and I had issues with the Bluetooth connecting as well as noticing the sound quality was just awful. I took them back to the store to get a refund to then be told that I couldn’t get a refund as I had opened up the box. I am so frustrated by the ridiculous excuse to not be a given a refund and now have a pair or expensive headphones I can’t even use. I really want to buy a new pair but I don’t think I could ever trust buying any products from Currys again. Definitely don’t recommend buying from Currys if you can’t even test out the product you have bought!”

“They were unable to fulfil my order but they didn't tell me. They cancelled my order an hour after I was told it would be fulfilled. I then had to go through an extremely long winded process to find out what had happened, was given incorrect information several times and finally was refunded and given a token gift voucher.”

“3 weeks ago I ordered a steam iron on line and I was able to collect my purchase in the Brixton store in less than 1 hour from time of the order to collection. That saved my day and I felt that the lady at the check-out was particularly helpful and cheerful. It is always nice to be served with passion.”

“It started off with my TV breaking down. As it was insured, I rang Curry's insurers, only to be told that I had vouchers coming to me for £290.00. They gave me the coding for the vouchers, and the next morning my Husband and I went off to our local Curry's in Brixton to buy a new tv. The young lady on the till told us to go off and choose a TV, and she would deal with the voucher when we got back. The tv we picked wasn't in stock, and then we got the bad news that our voucher wasn't for £290.00, it was for £119.00. After a bit if an argument, I insisted that the insurers had quoted £290.00. It made no difference. The Manager was called, who explained that the insurers had given me the wrong information, and that it was in fact £119.00, they had also given me back £5.00 for the remaining 2 months insurance that was left over, making a total of £124.00. This was on a Wednesday, and delivery of the new TV was arranged for the Friday between 7am and 7pm. When I got home with all the paper work, I noticed that the £124.00 was on a credit note, and saying that if it wasn't used by November 2019, I would lose it. That amount should have come off the price of the new TV. I dashed back to the shop, to be told they had taken that amount off the bill, the bill that they would send to my computer, but of course the bill I was handed in the store had the full price of the TV on it. The paper work stating that if I didn't use the £124.00 by November 2019, the young lady explained, I shouldn't have been given it, and she hurriedly snatched it away. OK, on the Friday my Husband and I got up early, cleared the area where the new TV was going, and waited and waited. Well, we waited all day, and by 7.15pm, we were furious. A whole day wasted, and no tv. I then spotted on my email, an email from Currys to say they were going to deliver our TV on the following Monday (remember, it was booked to come the Friday before). It did state on the paper work. Not only will we deliver your TV. Our driver will unpack it, and take all the rubbish away. And before he goes, make sure that the customer is happy. Well what really happened was that the driver thrust this big 43" tv into my 81 year old Husbands poorly hands, and when my Husband asked him if he was going to unwrap the TV and take the rubbish away, he said "oh no", got in his cab, and drove away. I really have to ask about this Mickey Mouse firm. It used to be a company that you looked up to. Not any more though. It is a complete mess. Whoever runs it, be warned, if you don't do something about it, you'll be on News at Ten with them saying, "Curry's have gone to the wall, the firm has folded up". I now know that I shall NEVER ever buy anything else from Curry's. The Company is an utter disgrace.”

“My item a 49 inch tv arrived damaged. Screen completely caved in and cracked !! . A replacement was not in stock...it then took 3 very long tel calls to sort out for damaged item to be picked up....not able too get money back for 3-5 working days after pick up...promised 2 call backs to discuss issue including 1 from manager and no-one called. It takes 20 mins each time you call to get through... What's going on Curry's !!!! A complaint taken by the phone person will only be shared within Curry's and customer gets no feedback ...I was eventually offered £50 off next purchase but too late I will not be shopping with you again...have been told my refund will be sometime today.. I'm not confident in that statement as have no expectation its just words to get rid of me on the phone...will this be on your reviews !!!!doubt it”
