Curry’s TV Adverts

Beckett

My advice is never ever ever buy from Currys - their staff have no knowledge about the goods they sell and their after sales service is dreadful, almost non existent

I agree entirely. Having bought an expensive large screen Smart TV with a 5 Year Manufacturer warranty it was delivered but only with a one year warranty. I called customer services several times only to be told that it wasn't their department before being abruptly transferred to another department who would then do the same. 'm sure is was some kind of joke for the staff. I called the TV manufacturer and their customer service guy said they were fed up of Currys and their underhand sales tricks.
When I boycott a company it stays boycotted unlike the current government.

Most adverts just pass me by and I don't pay much attention to them. Record a lot of programmes so always fast forward through the adverts.

Well …the ad is quite amusing but they are the only such shop left on the high street now so a bit of Hobsons Choice really here.
As for their “tech knowledge” I have most recently asked for advice and info on vacuum cleaners, Fridges, Washing machines, Instant pot/ pressure cookers and …

they seemed to know nowt about vacuum cleaners in fact the bloke seemed totally flustered and almost afraid, plus a lot of their Vax machines on display had some of their accessories missing, or on the wrong machines or had to go to another branch ….and they told me factually incorrect rubbish about
returning one a few days after purchase because the drive belt broke THREE times.
So some retailers are just not doing themselves any favours imo.

You must have different advertising to my area at present. Here the advert offers things in people’s homes.

I have never seen these advertisements, but my experience of Currys, linked with PCWorld, is poor. Like mum2three I always have to hunt for an assistant, who then discovers the item is out of stock even though it shows up as being on the premises (shoplifters apparently, even though most of the stock is locked down and the assistant is needed to release it.) and I have to drive elsewhere. Online I suppose is inevitable.

Never seen them. Perhaps I don’t watch TV at the right time. Currys near us is very helpful and willing to order if they don’t have it in stock. They have always honoured their price match when it’s been available too.

Never seen one…. unfortunately for firms I take zero interest in the adverts and completely zone out when they are on

The ads certainly don't reflect my experience with Currys. I always have to hunt for an assistant when I want something, and they are invariably out of stock. Next door is Argos and I have better luck in there.

Yes, I think the adverts are plain daft.

Would put me off buying from them, not the other way around.

I don't mind the adverts, so many annoy me more. Local one is fine, but I've never tested them on the level of techie ability the customer service people claim in the ads.

I’m gobsmacked in that they’re portraying people going into shops to choose the goods they want ( which is what I prefer to do with white goods, TV’s etc). But they’ve closed down the shop local to where I live and also where my partner lives, too.
