Currys Mixed Experience with Currys Ltd

After reading through various reviews from customers, it's evident that Currys Ltd has received a mix of positive and negative feedback. While some customers have praised the knowledgeable and friendly staff members like Kingsley at the Sydenham Bell Green Branch for their excellent service, others have expressed frustration with issues such as delays in repairs, rude customer service, and delivery problems. It seems that the overall customer experience at Currys Ltd can vary depending on the specific store and staff members encountered. Potential customers should consider these mixed reviews when deciding to engage with Currys Ltd.

Currys Very disappointed,

After having purhased with Currys for the last 30 years, All my electrical items have been bought through them. I was confident in purchasing a new HP laptop and took out their insurance that covered electrical and mechanical breakdown at £8 per month.

I have had the laptop for 3 years now when suddenly one of the hinges went tight when opening the lid and snapped off. I went to my local Boston branch where they advised me that this wasnt covered under mechanical breakdown and tried to say it was "wear & tear" I found this amazing how they could be so acurate on their diagnosis without even seeing my laptop, so this just highlights that they have no intentions in repairing this item even though it is covered, however they did offer me a new computer that I could purchase at full retail price, or pay to have it repaired! Currys is just hiding under a big well known name, when there simply con merchants, and by not responding to me in writing makes them untouchable. I have since written to Currys head office, where they have simply ignored me. I have been in touch with trading standards, they advised me that they cant help unless I get a response from Currys in writing telling me why they wont honour this claim.

It has been 4 months and Ive heard nothing and for this reason, I have sworn never to use this company again.

A 1 star is way too generous...

Recommendation: Dont bother! support small businesses instead

Currys Kenwood

Order reference - cur2335990307

order date : 09/05/2023

A complaint was made about the above purchase on the Feb 26, 2024

5:27 pm EST

The complaint has been marked as resolved but it has not been resolved.

After the complaint I received a phone call from Currys asking me if the issue has been resolved. I had literally got of the phone with one of the online assistants who assured me that the issue will be resolved.

Since then they have come to my house 3 times making it in total the sixth time they have come to my door with either the wrong product, the wrong personnel for the job or simply lack of tools.

There is always an excuse with the promise of getting it right. As it stands we have not received and update of when they will be coming to fix a problem that is well over six months now.

I wonder what the word 'we apologise for this' really means to Currys.

Claimed loss: No

Desired outcome: a functioning dishwasher installed

Currys Bosch washing machine series 4 wan28281gb

I purchased the above machine from Currys online on the 16/12/2020.

So I have been using it for just over 3yrs, we are a 2 person family so therefore it has not had excessive use.

However the drum bearings are now very noise and about to fail.

I have had a washing machine technician look at it , someone whom I know to be experienced and trustworthy.

He informs that it can be a very costly repair. So I am thinking it probably best to buy a new machine.

As you can imagine I am not best pleased with the short life of this machine which should be at least 7-12 yrs of use.

I have contacted the manufacturers direct but they are unable to help me and advised that I contact you the retailer to see if you are able to make me any offers by way of compensation/refund/or reduction on the price of the purchase of a new machine, which from my experience would not be a Bosch one.

I trust that you can help me with this matter, I await your reply,

Kind Regards

MR R F C LEGGATT

Desired outcome: REASONABLE COMPENSATION FOR SHORT LIFE OF MACHINE.EITHER PARTIAL MONETARY REFUND OR VOUCHER TOWARD COST OF A NEW MACHINE PURCHASED FROM CURRYS

Currys Took gift vouchers but did not supply product

I tried to purchase something online - I put the voucher codes in (300 pounds worth of vouchers) the order went as far as my bank I verified it then currys system didnt give me an order number - and they took the value of the vouchers. I have a complaint number which they have had for a week and they still have not resolved anything - and I have just been told it takes 24 to 48 hours which is what I was told last week.

So I have missed getting the delivery I have no means of cooking still and I no longer have the voucher value to order again.

#[protected]. Complaint number

Claimed loss: 300.00 plus emotional, stress and not being able to cook still

Desired outcome: I want the vouchers value given back to me - or the cash equivalent so that I can go somewhere else to purchase what I need

Currys Washing machine

REFERENCE: Currys receipt 015168 - Indisit washing machine

I purchased a Indisit washing machine from Currys. At the point of purchase I paid £179.00.

Loud rumbling noise when spinning, gradually getting louder, sounds like drum bearing failing.

The Consumer Rights Act 2015 makes it an implied term of the contract I have with Currys that goods be as described, fit for purpose and of satisfactory quality.

As you are in breach of contract and I've owned the product between 6 months and 6 years, I am within my statutory rights to ask for it to be repaired.

I await confirmation that you will provide the remedy set out above within 14 days of the date of this letter.

Desired outcome: Require free repair

Currys Delivery of a lenovo computer. Sales receipt no. 940014. Customer number 70011971 order number cur2446582223.

Dear Sirs,

This Lenovo all in one computer was ordered on line on 14th. February 2024. The order was placed on the basis of delivery to my home. I subsequently received a message from the transporters DPD saying that, in accordance with my request, the order would be delivered to Matalan, Harlow. NO SUCH REQUEST WAS MADE BY ME.

Currys then confirmed today, 16th February, that the order was delivered, and available at Matalan Harlow.

I am a senior citizen, and I have had to manhandle the heavy box from Matalan to my home today. I consider that this is very bad service, and I have not even started to use the computer.

I think that some sort of compensation is due to me, in view of the considerable inconvenience that I have suffered.

In addition the email address on Currys website is inoperative

I look forward to your comments as soon as possible.

Regards,

Dennis Grint.

Claimed loss: Not defined.

Desired outcome: Monetary compensation

Currys Currys failure to honour price match

IPhone 15 256GB was selling £30 cheaper on Amazon UK vs Currys (£849 vs £819). Contacted CURRYS webchat on Sunday afternoon and agent agreed to match Amazon price. I was provided a code for a £30 discount but was explicitly told the code would not work till 07h30 the next day.

The code would NOT however work when I attempted to purchase the phone the next day (in the specified time period).

I contacted CURRYS webchat again and was told the code "was not generated by their system", despite providing a transcript of my webchat which included the code.

By this time Amazon UK price had increased to £849 and was same as CURRYS so agent would not agree a new price match.

Claimed loss: Lost £30 discount code - not honoured by Currys. Lost Amazon purchase window when IPhone code have been had for £30 less than Currys.

Desired outcome: Currys must honour the original discount code provided

Currys Meta quest 2

I bought the Meta quest 2 for my son on the 22-12-23
this was advertised with a free carry case and £50 to spend on games.
I have spent a month trying to find out how to get the £50 to spend on games.
I have phoned, used live chat and gone into store 4 times NO One is able to offer any help,
I was told that when the meta is set up the £50 spend will be visible to use on the app,
I purchased the meta and gave my email
my son has set up the game with his email
I was also told it will have nothing to do with an email address
I tries to phone customer services today and was told by a young lady Mari she could not help she then hung up on me,
this has been a very frustrating journey
Currys advertised something and have not provided it, false advertising
I had already bought the Meta quest 2 from Argos but returned it and bought it again through Currys because of that promotion.
I can only think now to contact Advertising standards authority.

Claimed loss: £50

Desired outcome: £50 to spend on Meta quest games
