“I wanted to purchase 4 items from curry's, fosse park, leics Weds, 4 November '2015. After an assistant finally come over to us {bear in mind the store was nothing short of empty!!} After explaining what we required & asked if the 'online offer' could be reciprocated in store; Her manner, response & lack of enthusiasm was shocking, here I am looking to spend £3,000, she had absolutely no idea, wouldn't assist when asked to call someone & nearly @ a point she quite defensive. Curry's need to instill further customer service training in their stores. And take a leaf out of other leading stores books. Hence my goods were purchased from elsewheref!!”

“Will not use currys again had a new cooker delivered end of October 2015 found it was damaged on unpacking phoned the help line and had a new one sent out as a replacement 48 hrs later so far so good until the new/ replacement cook became faulty after 2 phone calls to the customer service department we got a engineer out to look at it which took 10 days!!! he said he could fix it but we were entitled to a new replacement as it was less than 28 days old Now the fun starts rang customer services on hold for 15 mins only to be transferred to a different department and kept on hold again for 15 minutes Then told that we would need to go back to the store as its more than 7 days old ! And they can't do anything about a replacement unit So I need to take the engineering report to the store to get a replacement cooker ? How unhelpful ! So after the customer service advisor said would you like to make a complaint I said yes please she said can I take your telephone number which I gave she then said that the complaint would be dealt with internally! Great I thought until I asked would I get a call back to let me know how the complaint was deal ? O no was the reply we never call people back about complaints we never find out about them ! So I asked how do you learn from mistakes or complaints that are made ? The reply was "we don't get told anything about the complaint procedure other than to note them and they will be dealt with internally so once there logged we never get any results for them or hear about how their handled " Well what is the point of taking my phone number ? And it's no wonder there customer services are so very poor Now I've had to take the morning off work tomorrow to go to the store and try to sort a cooker out As my wife has her hands full with my 6 month old baby boy and 2 year old girl Trying to cook meals for them with a microwave and toaster While my £600 cooker waits to be replaced”

“Ordered an external hard drive. Web site cannot take an address where the first line is more than 10 characters, so had to order by phone. Received an email saying it had been sent. Tracking number supplied. Not delivered. Nothing on Royal Mail website. Tried to contact Currys via website. A 10 digit order number required. Mine was 9 so no joy. Tried to call them. Phone not answered. The only way I could speak to a real person was to pretend to want to place a new order. Even then took 45 minutes. Was told it was out of stock and had not been sent. The saga continues! Amazon next time.”

“Bought a laptop for my daughters 14th Birthday on the 30th August 2015, two months later she goes to switch it on only to find that the screen has somehow imploded - like an ink spot. Took it back to Curry's who without seeing it - said is it the screen - implying to me that this is a usual problem. Curry's then tell me the screen is not covered by the warranty and we have had in fact broke it! I'm sure the staff are taught to be aggressive and dismissive. To break the screen where it was damaged would have taken excessive force - but the assistant stated even picking it up with your thumb on the screen could cause this damage - which is completely untrue as we then applied our thumb on the screen with strong force to no ill effect. Never ever would I shop at Curry's again and reading previous review's this seems to be unaminous amongst the reviews. Once you've paid your money for the goods that don't want anything more to do with it. I too will be writing to Watchdog.”

“I ordered a dishwasher from Currys. It was due to be delivered on 30 October so I took a day off work, I had to take a whole day as the company are not able to give even a four hour delivery window until the day of the delivery. the dishwasher that arrived was severely damaged and could not be fitted. Accepting that accidents happen I accepted a new delivery booking for the next day, 31 October. I waited in again only to receive a call telling me that while they had my dishwasher they had no-one who could fit it. Delivery was re-booked for 6 November and l booked another day off work. On 6 November I received a call informing me that the crew was ill. Delivery was re-booked for Sunday 8 November only to be followed on the day with a voicemail message telling me that the crew were unable to get in to work. I have no new delivery date and no offer of compensation as I write this.”

“I have ordered an oven online (not due to be delivered until the 18th) and want to take up the recycle option for the old oven. As it mentions this as an option on Currys website but I couId not find an option on the order form to select this I used their Live Chat Service to find out how to do this. I had an email chat with Jessica who advised me that once the order was confirmed I simply had to call 0344 561 1234 to book the recalling collection at a cost of £10.00. The number goes to KNOWHOW who I believe are part of Currys, the lady I spoke to was pleasant but had no idea about the recycling and had to constantly refer to her supervisor. I was told I cannot book in advance but that I have to ask the delivery driver to take the old one away!!!!! Apparently they will call Currys when delivering so that I may make a card payment to them over the phone at that time!!!! Even if they deliver at 0700 when Currys are not open!!!!!! Trying to speak to Currys on the phone is impossible, they never answer, absolute rubbish. Customer service is not their priority.”

“On a recent visit to the Currys Castle Marina store in Nottingham I purchased a kindle e-reader. This was after consulting with an instore assistant. There were 2 kindles available the kindle paperwhite and the kindle e-reader. I asked what the difference was and after some deliberation the shop assistant basically didn't really know, he was guessing and read out the on shelf tickets, which I had already done, he came to the conclusion that the kindle e-reader was the older version and that was why there was a price difference. The kindle paperwhite was £107 and the kindle e-reader was £49.99 including a £10 discount. Based on what the shop assistant had advised I decided to purchase the kindle e-reader at £49.99. Having set up my purchase at home I can't believe how wrong I was to choose the kindle e-reader. It is not the older version of the kindle paperwhite. It doesn't have the same features of the kindle paperwhite. There is no back light and therefore I can't read in the dark, to do this I need to purchase a separate light. If I had know this I would definitely not have purchased this item. On the kindle I purchased there are adverts. To remove these adverts I can pay £10, so not really a £10 discount on the purchase price. I wasn't told this in store. There was no plug in the box, again I have to purchase this separately, I wasn't told this in store. Finally the cable to charge my purchase is faulty, there seems to be a loose connection somewhere. In conclusion I feel I was completely mis informed about the product I purchased, it is not fit for purpose and I now have to spend more money to make it work for me. Would I recommend to my friends purchasing goods from the Currys store Nottingham - NO Would I recommend purchasing the kindle e-reader to my friends -NO”

“Bad customer service. When I bought a laptop from you 3yrs ago I was sold one without wifi capacity at a crucial time for me. I was assured a refurbished laptop would be just as good as a new one. Lies. At the purchase the salesman was I appropriately pushy to sign me up for something else. His tactics were shameful and made me uncomfortable. To make things worse I went back to your branch in Croydon for a large intimidating man who I approached after I was waiting for half an hour for help that he was spelling to his colleague and I was not to interrupt. He was insulting and rude and he is lucky I didn't file a claim. It's the worst kind of distrspectful "service" I have ever come across. I'm going to let others know exactly what happens when you shop at currys. I was extremely upset and now every time I see an email from you I remember it. Enough is enough. People should know.”

“I bought an integrated fridge freezer and paid for installation. This was delivered on Thursday last week but during the installation the installers managed to break a hinge on the cupboard door. They arranged for one of their installers to come back two days later but when he turned up he had no idea what to do and suggested that I source a replacement hinge and they would fit it. I told them that there was no way that I would be running around to get something that they had broken. He arranged to come back next day saying he would confirm by telephone (no call received) with hopefully a replacement hinge. He did turn up but couldn't fix it and told me that Currys would pay for me to get a joiner out. I rang their customer service line this morning and, after hanging on the line for fifteen minutes and then waiting for a call back as there were apparently no notes on the service record, I was told again that I would have to source a replacement hinge. I told them that this was completely unacceptable and that I needed to speak to a manager. As they were supposedly on another call, they were going to ring me right back. That was over an hour ago. I will never buy anything from them ever again and strongly advise everyone else to avoid them.”

“Needed new vacuum for upstairs and bought one at Curry's in June 2015. On the first use the cable got caught under head and was stripped to bare wires. Returned to Currys who said that Vax denied responsibility on grounds that running over cable is misuse. Curry's nor Vax would accept argument that vacuums sometimes run over their cables and that the heads should be designed in such a way that this sort of damage is impossible. Have run over Hoover and Dyson cords without damaging them. This machine is dangerous and should be redesigned or withdrawn from sale”

“Bought a top of the range washing machine and paid to have it fitted and old machine taken away. Neither fitted nor old machine removed. Waited 15 mins in store to complain as manager of Hove store gave hard sell on insurance to new customer saying "customer satisfaction is my job"... then told me nothing he could do nothing as Curry's out-source deliveries.... "Not my problem".... Curry's flatter to deceive at point of sale and couldn't give a damn about anything after sale. Shocking. In future I will select product at local Currys store but then buy on line via John Lewis who have some sense of customer service.”

“My husband and I bought a TV from Currys Lakeside last night; very excited about setting it up to watch a weekend of programs. The man in the store was very knowledgeable and helpful, nothing in the rest of this review is a reflection on him. TV came home, put together and plugged in. Then we did the setup, a quick process. Then it went into update mode - for 2 hours! We gave up and went to bed. Today we started the setup process again, only for it to get to the same update screen again. This time we left it running for close to 8 hours... Surely an update does not take that long. So I rang Currys, put on hold for 20 minutes, so gave up and ran the TV manufacture directly. They were very helpful (even called me back so that the call wouldn't cost me any more money). We went through a bunch of different techy things, only for the man to say sorry but I think you have a duff TV you need to return it and get another one. So I took the plunge to ring Currys. On hold for 10 minutes this time until someone answered, but they were a chocolate teapot and did nothing more than put me through to technical, so hold AGAIN for 25 minutes. By this stage I didn't want technical assistance I just wanted a TV that worked; so I asked him to reserve me a TV in the Medway branch (a bit out of my way, but willing to travel). There was one in stock, so off we went to collect (order number and 'magic' replacement code in hand). Medway did not have one in stock; its stock was the display model! This was not what I wanted - a TV that had been sitting there for probably months. To add insult to injury the staff at this store tried to tell us that we should have called them before we called the manufacture! I will never be buying anything from this company again. Nothing short of useless. I am left disappointed and disgusted, as well as TVless for my daughter's sleepover.”

“Being one of the few electronics shops in York I am forced to go to the storeroom when I need electronic products. However the staff is incompetent and the waiting time to be served is totally unacceptable! I actually gave up waiting after trying several times to get someone to sell me the things I needed. Went back home and order it on-line from another store. Pity it has to be that way...”

“I had the miss fortune to order a belling double oven from your sutton coldfield store, the person that tuck my order put down the wrong mouth on the order it should have been the 7th of october but it was order for november. As i had a fitter at home waiting for the oven i had to cancel the order.the store said i would get my refund in three to five days that was sixteen days ago after about ten phones calls later i have just got a email to say that they have just canceled the order and i should be getting my refund soon. For a company to keep a pensioner waiting for 414 pounds for so long is really poor mr p gulliver email address philip@gulliver1.plus.com”
