[Raleigh Chopper]

Need a new telly, but where do you go if it goes wrong?
Wish I had gone to comet 1 month ago and bought something on the buy now pay in 9 months.

I expect they'll go 10% off everything at first, when sales start sticking they'll go to 20% of etc.....

My question to comet. As you are in administration and giving stuff away and not honoring gift vouchers that have already been paid for, if I go in there and nick something is it still technically shoplifting.

 

[Stat Brother]

How safe is it, to buy fire?

You would still have to pay for the item as the finance is with a 3rd party, not Comet.

Keep up. Gift vouchers are being honoured.

Which branch, just out of interest? (speaking as a Woolies employee for most of the last 10 years of their existence)

Time for bHAFC to buy back the Goldstone Ground, one shop at a time.

Old stock overpriced by over 50% about 100% for computers. Beware. Not rubbish but the prices are ridiculously high before (even with 50% discounts advertised). Easy to get conned.

I need a new computer, so I might double check, but I can't see it being any good. TVs are a better bet in the local Co-op.

 

[Prettyboyshaw]

Just been in 10% but as the stuff is 20%+ over online prices not worth it at the moment.

 

[shaolinpunk]

Hopefully it'll get to the point where it's just a case of go in to the store and make an offer for whatever you want to buy, and they can accept/reject the offer.

We host their IT - the web site in now a single page splash screen and all SLA's are out the window ...

31 years at Woolies, started at 89, 254, 344, 243?, then into London. Wembley, Wanstead, South Woodford, Leytonstone, then out into Essex. Was at Grays when the end came.

 

[LamieRobertson]

Only stuff worth buying is things like iPads..where the price is uniform no matter where you go...other things like tv's probably better price elsewhere even after there 'sale'

 

[LadySeagull]

Can't be worth buying from there, considering if anything goes wrong with the item there's no after sales service...

...oh wait...Comet never did have an after-sales service...

Bought a washing machine this year with a 5 year warranty, is that just money down the drain now ?,anyone know.
