I was 1 of 3 customers in the storeso the staff were not busy at all.

I brought a free standing cooker from Currys and paid for the installation services. However it would seem that this service only works if your house has been built and designed to the very highest health and safety specifications. If you are not prepeared to have electrical points moved, your kitchen re-shaped to fit in your new cooker, then hire an independant electrician. On the second attempt to get mine installed after jumping through hoops to achieve their requirements, and getting... (read more)

While browsing the Net for kitchen appliances I discovered two big discrepancies on Currys' web site. I almost ordered the AEG X59143MD0 Cooker Hood as it was advertised as an 'island' hood - one that hangs from the ceiling rather than fitted to the wall. I realised just in time (after checking other retailers' sites) that it's a chimney hood and I reported this to Currys. As far as I'm aware they changed the item description. I was also looking for an induction hob and the AEG HK764070FB... (read more)

I ordered a modem router on line. When I was given a delivery date I realised I was going to be out so used the e mail/browser system to delay delivery for a day. They turned up anyway and therefore had to return the following day. When the router proved to be faulty the problems really started. I was offered a home exchange. Sounds OK but when the delivery driver arrived, no new router. When I called Currys they explained I would have to wait for the returned item to be checked... (read more)

Well the saga with Currys continues!!! now not only did they NOT deliver the cooker I ordered, they are saying that the order wasn't cancelled so I cant have my money back...cos they need to speak to the manufacturer to make sure it wasn't delivered!!! this is the same manufacturer who told me the cooker was out of stock for the forseeable future the day before it was due to be delivered!! The same day that i cancelled the order with Currys! So there's £400 sitting in there bank account that is legally mine!!!! seriously do not touch these lot folks, they need to go the same way as Comet!!

Hi...here`s the update from the posting yesterday.
I have to say that I have rarely experienced such a simple exchange process...all was dealt with in a very efficient and pleasant manner.
I am really surprised at this but I am an old cynic when it comes to modern business practices...I am using the replacement netbook to write this update...it also has a one years warranty from todays date...all in all,todays visit to the store has restored my waning faith in the high street... and my expectation of "difficulties" did not even begin to materialise.
I have to report that I have experienced super service from the store staff....yes,they were only fulfilling their legal obligation but the manner in which the issue was dealt with deserves this rather long praise.
Many thanks to the staff at Curry`s !
