Comet

I have always been a little unsure about Comet after a bad experience with their in store staff some years ago so I have to admit to being wary of shopping there again. It is amazing just how long a bad impression can last. Anyway, I was pleasantly surprised. I wanted to buy some speakers for my television and had no idea what I wanted or what I was doing. The store itself was bright, clean and welcoming and I went up to a member of staff who was standing by the counter and explained what I wanted. He said that he himself was not very knowledgeable about TV speakers but that his colleague, James, was the man to ask. He then paged him and he came to me ...  Read the complete review

The only reason I ordered he item from thw Comet website was the information stating that you offered free delivery and installation - On delivery they informed me that they were not aware there was an installation. I called the customer service office and was advised that they were fully booked and I had to wait until friday to have the item installed. This means another day's leave I must take, and the inconvenience of a further two days without an oven. The girl did say she would refund the delivery charge I was charged (although their website stated FREE delivery) and the scappage fee £8 - great - I get £8 back for having to wait for installation 2 days and having to ...  Read the complete review

Comet stock a huge range of electrical goods from televisions, to hi fi, to computers. Therefore I went there with 2 intentions in mind, the first one was to look for a new hi fi and the second was to search for a new television. When you enter a typical comet, you entered into a vast store with a very nice clear layout and most importantly plenty of staff on hand to help answer any questions you might have and to entice you into a purchase. Since I already know quite a bit about televisions, I wanted to reinforce this knowledge and ask some more general questions out of interest. Unfortunately the sales guy I met with didn't seem to understand the ...  Read the complete review

If you had asked me two years ago what I thought of Comet I would probably said yes they are ok and maybe even rated them as a three or four star company. However in the last two years my opinion has fallen. I will get onto that shortly. First of all I'll tell you a bit about the shop and the staff. The shops seem to be situated all over the UK at most retail parks and if they aren't there then their competitors are. Curry's, to me both shops look the same and aren't really that different. They offer mostly electrical goods washing machines, dishwashers, TV's, MP3 players, DVD players, games consoles, computes, cookers, kettles, microwaves and loads of items. ...  Read the complete review

I've always regarded high street electronics shops as a great place to haggle on a price to get a bargain and usually get it cheaper than if you got it online. So the opening statement was a bit of a but... sentence so here goes. I came to this conclusion based upon some haggling experience and where some people will just take the price offered I will haggle for anything from DVDs to Laptops and even a pint of beer, it all adds up. Anyway so Comet, what can I say a rubbish company which I shall not be doing business again. First off I went in there to buy my Sony Vaio laptop which they had in stock. I asked for some money off with no luck so I was ...  Read the complete review
