“Order a fitbit online to collect from store. All went well until my money was taken from my account then that was it, hassle starts no email to confirm order & collection number. So I go online to talk to some dinlow robot & get know where with out typing all the spill. I will not purchase from currys again it seems a shambles of a setup. GO ELSE WHERE FOR YOU ITEM PROBABLY BE HASSLE FREE FOR YOU. Mal,s nightmare Sunday morning”

“If there was a zero option I would have chosen that. They mucked my online order up, when I used webchat (which is awful) to correct order (as there is no other way of contacting them) they cancelled the order completely but have still charged me. Trying to get hold of anyone to sort this out is impossible. I have now been charged for products I am not going to receive which must be fraudulent/theft? My advice, don't use their online facilities and stick to Amazon!”

“Worst customer expereince ever! My laptop stopped working within the 'refund / exchange' period. When I tried to exchange it I found myself dealing with endless calls to custome service, being transferred from one rep. to another. Each one gave me different instructions and different thing, without delivering. The end point was after I was promised a new computer and was told that I'll get a conformation to my email within 24 hours. Of course no confirmation arrived and when I called again nothing was written in their notes and I was back to sqaure one. This happend one time after the other - online representatives that lie and don't deliver and ignoring anything any one else said before. They refused to liseten to recordings of the previous calls or to acknowledge anything they promised. Would recommend anyone who can to stay away.”

“I've been a customer of Currys PC World most of my life. I would never use them ever again. My first exchange in using them for over 30 years and I have been messed about tremendously. My dryer broke down and is still under warranty. The manufacturer issued a uplift code for a refund. Currys sent me from department to department unwilling to refund initially stating my appliance was out of warranty then they offered 25% refund. I've issued legal proceedings. The most incompetent and inept customer service team. Will never shop here again.”

“Virtually impossible to contact. I've been trying to change a collection address for a return of a product, simple you might think. Not for Currys! No way of contacting satisfactorily, no returns form to print off, and no where to find the address to return to. Gave in, in the end, found an address, but who knows if it's the correct one or if I'll get my refund. Also had to drive over to my parents address(not a good idea in Covid times), so that the product can be collected from the original address. I am currently trying to find a complaints email to contact, but once again that is proving impossible.”

“Very very poor experience all round. Price promise - get told from shop live to email 'somewhere', only to be told by other advisors, 'somewhere' doesn't exist (strike 1) Passed back and forth from shop live to customer services like a football! (Strike 2) To add insult to injury, when you pay for selected delivery, they tell you after paying that you can't have it that day, and it will be a day later....and then they decide how you get the refund back!! (Strike 3) and we're out for good. John Lewis here we come.”

“Took money from my account , order apparently did not go through, now will take up to 5 days to refund money , can't get to speak to anyone it's all online , cannot reorder until I have my money back , need a machine asap as I need to wash my nurse uniforms . Totally disgraceful service.I If I had been able to speak with someone I am sure they could have reorderd it , arranged delivery etc. Won't be using them again. If I hadn't contacted them I would never have known order hadn't gone through although they took my money.”

“Hi Fi was ordered, the product is faulty. Was on the phone for nearly two hours to Currys customer services who agreed to pick up the faulty product. No one turned up to pick the product up. I shall continue to try and get in touch with Currys customer services, although the average waiting time for someone to answer your call is forty five minutes.”

“Dishonest Trading One star is way too much but no option for a zero rating. Bought and paid for fridge/freezer online only to find no stock available on delivery day. Promised refund (advised 5-10 day wait) After 5 days Currys emailed to say order being processed even though they cancelled it. Had bought from Argos in the meantime. (Great service by the way - here in 2 days) Another few hours on Currys live chat, original cancellation not done correctly by Currys staff, but still no stock anyway. Cancelled again so now an even longer wait for refund. Taking and holding money for items you do not have available is dishonest and fraudulent trading. PLEASE AVOID CURRYS AT ALL COSTS”

“Terrible service, ordered and paid for a stand mixer online showing in stock to collect next day. Received email today saying order cancelled with no information why, rang customer service number, after 16 minutes been told non in stock so had to cancel, I went online I can see it still showing in stock at my local Currys store. The refund will now take 7 to 14 days, out of pocket with no product, shop only if you have extra cash or you can wait for a refund. I will not be shopping at Currys in my lifetime.”

“Bought a new smart amazon TV just before the start of the first lockdown as my wife and I are asthmatic and knew we would be spending more time at home. The TV was faulty and swapped after numerous phone calls....I actually spent a total of 8 hours on the phone, got cut off after holding for over an hour and promised several call backs that never happened, having to repeat the whole story everytime I called back to another unhelpful assistant. Not at all the kind of service I had expected from such a large company. The new TV developed a similar fault after a couple of months, just my luck to choose a model that obviously has issues but buying a jvc branded TV I thought it would be ok. It all started again. Several calls, hours on the phone, no promised callbacks, just cut off after being on hold for 78 minutes. Finally got hold of someone who agreed to exchange it for a new one and would pass me through to the right dept to arrange it...and then cut off again after 90 minutes on the phone. Absolutely infuriating!!! I have emailed several times and never had a response, have been on the online chat and cut off after waiting a long time. No one responds on any contact format, phone, email or online chat. Can anyone advise what to do next? Before we bought the TV we bought quite a few different appliances from Currys as we had recently moved home but my repeat business does not seem important whatsoever.”

“Ordered a Samsung Galaxy tablet and paid for it on the internet. Was looking forward to a Christmas delivery. I am STILL waiting for it almost a MONTH later. Really difficult to contact - queues of 30 or more! Eventually got through only to be told the item was out of stock & I would have to re-order. Cancelled - in disgust. Pathetic service and even worse customer relations.”

“Utterly Shocking and Appalling Customer Service! Wowee, quite possibly the worst customer service I've ever received! I purchased a 50" TV on 29th December 2020 from Curry's/PC world online, using my mobile phone. I selected PayPal as the payment option, using their pay in 3 and the first instalment was taken from my debit card. I received an order number in an email from Curry's, to state that the order was being processed and I would soon receive a delivery date. On the same purchase date I logged onto their chat to ask if I could change the delivery to a local store collection, but I was told that this could not be changed on their system. This was fine and completely understandable. I waited a few days and had not received an update and tried to give them a call to enquire about the delivery date, but could never get through to a human. I then logged on to chat a subsequent three times and each time I was told that my order was being processed and that I would receive an update via email. On the 3rd Jan 2021, I spoke to another agent via chat, and I was informed that the order had been delayed. The agent assured me that he would urgently push the order through and I would receive an update in a day, and delivery within 3-5 days. On 5th Jan, after hearing nothing I finally got through to an agent via the phone. I was informed that due to a glitch in the system, at the time of purchase that the order would never come and that the only option was to cancel. He explained that this happens sometimes and they do not know why, and that it cannot be overridden. He cancelled the order and I received an email to confirm that the order had been cancelled AT MY REQUEST! He explained that I would be refunded in 3-5 days. I asked whether I could receive a discount upon repurchasing, due to all of the hassle, I was told no as it was not his department. I contacted TeamKnowHow on Twitter and explained the situation and asked who would be able to authorise a discount on the next purchase. The message I received is as followed. "Hi. I understand that your experience with us has been frustrating. Please let us know when you have placed a new order and we will see what we can do for you in terms of a goodwill gesture. For example we would be able to refund a quick delivery charge. Thanks Jodie." So, the solution was for me to pay extra for delivery, despite there being a free delivery option. Then to run through circles in an attempt to contact Curry's/PC World for a refund as a "gesture of goodwill"- simply laughable! Fast forward a few days, no update on the refund (surprise!). I called PayPal on 10th Jan and was informed that they had not been informed of a refund from Curry's/PC World but that as I had spoken to them last Tuesday, I should have an update by the upcoming Tuesday at the latest. Still having heard nothing, I logged on to online chat on Tuesday 12th Jan and spoke to an agent called Akash, I was told: "As we have checked that there was not payment captured. Please contact your bank." I explained the PayPal payment via my debit card but was still told that there was nothing on their system and to contact the bank. I called Curry's/PC World again and spoke to a lady who informed me that the refund had in fact been processed on their end and that I should receive an update soon. I had since checked and the TV had increased from £399 to £429 (though I had already made the decision to purchase elsewhere) to humour myself I enquired about receiving it for the originally purchased price. I was told that they could IF THE ORDER HAD BEEN CANCELLED BY THEM, I mean really? I would also have to contact them after purchasing, to then be refunded the difference- no way I was falling for that trap! Fast forward to today, 14th Jan. I called PayPal again and spoke to a lady who informed me that they had not received a refund from Curry's/PC World. She kindly explained that lots of customers had unfortunately been receiving poor service from Curry's/PC World recently and advised that a dispute should be opened. This saga has been ongoing for over two weeks and is finally being handled by a competent company. Take this as a cautionary tale when purchasing from Curry's/PC World online. Poor service, ridiculous wait times when communicating and zero accountability.”

“Bought a fridge freezer 6 months ago. Developed a fault (freezer not working) 3 weeks ago. Fault reported. Repair man came but repair wasn't successful. The second time he came out couldn't diagnose the fault. I asked for a replacement or a refund, he said he would see what he could do. I've been without my fridge freezer not working for over 3 weeks now. With the covid lockdown am I supposed to run the gauntlet of buying food every day? I'm 73 years old and don't need CURRYS making my life any harder through lack of common sense.”

“DO NOT BUY FROM THIS COMPANY Exchanged ipad as faulty and not recieved the new one after 7 days. Queues on phone of at least an hour to talk to someone. I have had to call each day over 3 days (so far) with no solutions to my issue and no call back as promised. Would not issue a new one in good time due to low stock (basically they want to be able to sell to new customers but not bothered they have my £350 and I have no iPad.) Terrible service- wish I'd read the reviews first”
