“Please do not be fooled into purchasing Care and Repair of a product bought from Currys! Care and repair promise to help with faulty items etc 7 days a week I spent nearly 2 days trying to get through to them. I understand there's a pandemic and its affecting everyone but I haven't been able to speak to anyone. Webchat is unable to help they just refer you to the number you can't get through on! My problem was with a noisy electric oven that I purchased from Currys.co.uk I urgently needed an engineer to just check it for my own peace of mind. So needless to say I've cancelled Care and repair and ill be refunded my 80 pounds.”

“In Stock but Not in Stock, Lies from Customer Service and Still Not Delivered. Managed to place an order for an RTX3080 as the website said they were in stock and available for delivery. After ordering I got an email saying they would contact me as there was a delay on my order, I never got a phone call, so I ended up waiting in queue on their webchat. I was told it wasn't in stock but will be the next day, so I waited. Then I contacted them two days later asking for an update. I was told I'd receive it a couple days later. That day came and nothing. So I contacted them again and was told it wasn't in stock today and will dispatch tomorrow. After complaining on social media I was contacted and then told that they are expecting stock within a week, and I should get it before end of the year. So I contacted them once again about the stock and they said it would be a day later than they said (23rd). I then noticed the day before that my order status had gone from 'Order Received' to 'In Progress' but this stayed the same for a day, but when contacting them about it they told me it wasn't in stock! So I called them out regarding changing my order status to 'In Progress' and asked whether they have had any stock in since my order, and still awaiting for an answer. (And this is the short story). I have been charged for this order and told constant lies by staff. I have no faith in Currys PC World, I do not recommend them and will refrain from using them in future.”

“I had horrible experience with teamknow and Currys - how I bought brand new Samsung ultra 250 which was faulty and after few months started to give issues! Called Currys and team knowhow booked it for repair and said they will repair and return it within a week - but more than a week passed by no news no mobile - chat help line is not helpful as they saying they don’t deal with online issues or repair. Phone helpline is not working as no one knows what happened and kept on putting me through to other departments. Last text was delivery is on Monday and then after 50 calls a voice message that it will be delivered tomorrow but seems that tomorrow wouldn’t come! Used Currys twice both times horrible experience do not buy from them especially expensive items in my case it was about £1300! Biggest issue is with mobile you don’t know as it still might have my personal data so I’ll have a very uncomfortable Christmas and new year - thanks to horrible Currys and useless team knowhow”

“They promise everything and deliver nothing. I placed an order for a TV on their website, which then informed me I would have a delivery three days later. After taking time off work, I then find out the day before delivery, it was never going to be delivered on the agreed date, but six days later. No apology, and no TV. Complete shambles of an online ordering and delivery system. Please use someone else. I know I will be.”

“Ordered a tv on line 16th December. Had no confirmation email. Luckily I'd made a note of the order number and delivery date. Finally managed to get through to a person and not a virtual thing. Due to a technical problem my order didn't go through, though they took my money. Order cancelled by them, money due back in bank whenever. Just had a email along their processing my order. Never order on line again with curry's”

“Awful service!!!! Ordered a fridge 14th December and I paid for express delivery, that didn’t arrive and I wasn’t informed despite taking a days annual leave. I had to call th at 7.15pm to see where my delivery was The call handlers are rude!! One even said the centre shuts at 8pm so I shouldn’t be dealing with this after I’d waited 40 minutes for them to pick up! They disputed their own delivery time frame which they advertise between 7-7pm and which I’d paid for, saying it actually it’s 7-8pm just so they could end my call at 7.58pm!!! I flatly refused referring them back to my order, there website, the emails i had received all stating express delivery between the hours of 7-7pm and how they advertise it so they honour it. By 8.03pm they agreed the item wouldn’t be delivered that day as the drivers had logged off for the day and failed to notify anyone. They then proceeded to give me 3 other delivery dates up to Christmas Eve! ( I cried, 7 months pregnant no fridge or freezer and they want to deliver it Christmas Eve) I then received a text to say my item would be delivered on a completely different date and time. When the item finally arrived the delivery drivers said they wouldn’t order from them either and advised me not too again because of there shocking service. They were empathetic and I felt for them because they obviously get the flack for a dreadful company - I won’t be using them again I’ll stick to AO next time”

“I placed an order 27th November for two small electrical items, which I have not received. I received an email from PayPal with confirmation of payment, but nothing from Curry’s. I have contacted them, and was advised one of the items was currently out of stock, and would be with me on the 11th December, still not received (both items are IN stock) Customer services are awful to get hold of, all automated, and because I don’t have a reference number (due to not receiving a confirmation email) it keeps advising me to phone, and I can’t get through. My husband also ordered an item that has not been delivered, which should have arrived 11th December, and after waiting hours on line, discovered that the order had been cancelled. No information sent regarding cancelled order, and no refund, nearly £900, he has had to reorder. I have now purchased my 2 items elsewhere, and will expecting a full refund. I understand the current pressures everyone is under, but if you can’t cope with demand, do not take peoples money. Absolutely disgraceful service from CurrysPCW, we will not be ordering from you again!”

“Incredibly HORRIBLE company. Avoid them at all costs. Fraudulently sold products that aren’t in stock. I ordered a Power Supply Unit from CURRYS on December 3rd and the arrival date was meant to be the 11th. My money was taken on the same day and I received the confirmation email. A few days later and I still didnt receive my tracking email. I rang their support line and they told me my item was out of stock and they didnt have an estimated date of it going back in stock. I then told them to cancel my request and they originally said it would take 3-5 days but after those 5 days i called them back again and they said my cancellation had to go through the supplier. Which is incredibly irresponsible as I ORDERED an item through CURRYS not a third party supplier. After which they told me to it would take a total of 3 weeks to process and get me my money back. Horrible Horrible company. Do not buy from currys.”

“I ordered a Wifi mesh system which should have been delivered by the end of the next week; it still hadn't made it to Royal Mail. You cannot speak to anybody or webchat and just get referred to Royal Mail's website. I tried cancelling it online but got a generic response saying sorry but because we are processing the order (11 days by now) we won' cancel it. I then put in a dispute through Paypal and finally got a response saying that I should get it the following week (but don't reply to this email as it is not monitored WTF ) It finally did come a week later but I wasn't impressed. Service only happens when things go wrong, with Currys there is no service. I will never use Currys again.”

“If you want to return item bought online and paid for by PayPal be careful! Curry's will screw you big time. They made it deliberately difficult to return the item. You must first fill in online form which is well hidden away on their website. Then wait for return request be accepted, only then you will get a confirmation and collection number. In email it says you must provide address but NO instructions as to what is delivery address. So they tell you to send it but they don't tell you where. IDIOTS. Well I used web chat feature and asked assistant to tell me what is the delivery address for return. They didn't know. I called their Know How helpline and they told me DPD driver will pick up item and he doesn't need address label - essentially contradicting instructions what was send in the email! So their staff has NO CLUE. Then DPD driver turned up few days later without label! Guess what. DPD driver refused to collect item because he says that I failed to provide address!!! Item unable to be returned because Curry's staff is incompetent, unable to provide clear instructions, their staff contradicts each other. It's a mess. No wonder bad reviews! Stay AWAY!!!”

“Avoid like the plague! Placed an online order for 2 x Samsung Galaxy Tablets and 3 x Samsung phones for delivery on Monday 30th November to the value of £1,162.97. We received the delivery which only contained 1 x Samsung Galaxy Tablet. We contacted Curry’s via phone regarding the missing items and they initially advised that we should approach DPD direct. Refusing to accept this, we persisted with the agent and they raised a ‘LIT’ (Lost In Transit). We were advised we would have to wait 14 days for an investigation to be carried out. On the 10th December we received an email requesting us to complete a document that was attached to that email. It was titled ‘Denial of Receipt’. This form ask you to confirm that you never received your full order, that the parcel packaging wasn’t damaged and that we would be happy to involved the police. We completed the form the same day and emailed it back along with photos of the parcel packaging and the one item we received. On the 15th December we received the following email: - “We understand that you have reported the non-receipt of the Products from Currys PC World. An investigation has been undertaken in regard to this claim which takes into account the information you have provided through the Denial of Receipt form, an internal investigation within our warehouse and with the courier DPD as the parcel travelled through their network. The completed Denial of Receipt form indicated that the parcel was delivered in a fully sealed Packaging, with no signs of any tampering. During the picking stage the product was weighed where there were no discrepancies found in this instance. We obtained CCTV footage of the parcel being processed through our Warehouse and the findings show the parcel was packed without issue. We contacted DPD who have provided us with images of the parcel showing no signs of damage. After due consideration of all evidence, we are content that this parcel was dispatched and delivered with no evidence of tampering therefore, will be unable to assist you further with this claim” Needless to say that we emailed straight back and stated that we are not accepting this and dispute their decision. We also decided to phone customer services on the same day (15th December still) and spoke with an agent called Sino. Sino advised that they would raise another ‘LIT’ (Lost In Transit). We refused this and requested that they escalate the case. We wanted to speak to a manager / supervisor but apparently nobody was available. The agent advised that we would be contacted by Curry’s within 24 to 48 hours and provided an escalation case reference number. On the 17th December after 48 hours had passed, we hadn’t heard from Curry’s so we phoned again. This time we spoke with Hasniar who advised that the original case number provided by Sino hadn’t in fact been raised. Hasniar advised that they had now raised this and that we should wait another 48 hours for Curry’s to contact us. I should mention at this point, that we had visited our local store twice in the middle of all of this and unfortunately both times they advised that they couldn’t help. They weren’t allowed to hand out telephone numbers of managers / supervisors and they confirmed that a dedicated customer complaints department didn’t exist. On the 18th of December, we had a lightbulb moment. After trying to convince the store that the packaging the 1 x Samsung Galaxy Tab had arrived in, wouldn’t be larger enough to fit the remaining items, we decided to check tracking on DPD’s website to see if he courier had taken a photo of the parcel at our delivery address as proof of delivery. Needless to say, there was a photo of our parcel in crystal clear imagery that showed the outline of 1 x tablet only. This was the evidence we needed to prove we only received part of our order. We decided to phone Curry’s again. We explained everything to another agent (failed to get the name in this instance) and the agent put us on hold whilst she reviewed the notes on the case. The agent came back on the call and agreed that the parcel was too small and clearly showed only 1 x item through the packaging (the outline of 1 x box was clear to see). The agent advised that they would contact the relevant department to look into it. We refused at this point to be fobbed off again and requested to speak to a manager or supervisor. The agent explained that we’re all busy but that it would be sent to back office for review. Again we refused this and requested to speak to back office. We waited on hold for 20mons before being disconnected. At this point it’s safe to say that we are completely exasperated and exhausted at our attempt to resolve what should be a fairly straight forward delivery issue. So yet again, we decided to visit the local store for a third time. The customer services agent in store reviewed the information including the proof of delivery photo that showed only 1 x item through the packaging. The agent agreed straight away that is an open and shut case and should’ve been resolved by now. The agent phoned their internal telephone number to their online order team and quite bluntly said “It’s clear only one item has been delivered, there’s proof in front of me. Why hasn’t it been resolved and why have you closed the case despite the customer having not received their items”. After coming off the phone, the customer services agent advised that they sympathise with us entirely however they were unable to do anything in store and that we would have to wait another 14 days whilst they re-opened the investigation. So here we are 18 days on from when this began, being told we would need to wait another 14 days (so 30 in total) until we would hear the result of their decision DESPITE having clear EVIDENCE. We are currently out of pocket to the sum of £793.97 - We don’t dare purchase the items elsewhere in case Curry’s decide to send the missing items out instead of offering a refund. We are between a rock and hard place. We have opened a case through resolver but it has advised that we need to wait for 30 days until we can escalate the case further through them. The total lack of customer service, breach of contract and disregard for consumer rights is, to be quite frank, shocking. How can a retailer in this day and age, which is a household name and has a large physical presence in our towns and cities, get away with trading in this manner? We still do not have a resolution and the way they have handled this situation will prevent us purchasing anything from them in the future. Just think, if this is how they handle delivery issues, what must they be like to deal with on warranty and faulty goods. Curry’s are an absolute shambles - spread the word!”

“Currys will fraudolently sell items that are out of stock. I bought a vacuum cleaner online last week with the site informing me that the item would be delivered by this Friday. This was confirmed in the receipt. After 4 days I was alarmed in not receiving a dispatch confirmation and tracking number. So I contacted customer service. Only then, and only after my inquiry, I was told the item is out of stock and they could not give me a date for when it can be back in stock. This is incredibly poor treatment of customers, withdrawing information, and not giving a timeline for when an item that has been charged, will be consigned. I am wondering when they intended to tell me if I didn't ask? And what does it mean that they cannot tell me when it will be back in stock? So could it be in 6 months? or perhaps never? This is very very close to fraudolent behaviour and I would like to warn everyone not to buy any product from Currys online. Even if they give you a delivery date on the webpage, that is a fake. You may pay and basically then it's up to them when you will ever receive your purchase. Go to the shop instead, or purchase somewhere reliable.”
