Why do so many people keep buying their PC requirements from PC World? I am yet to meet anybody who has a good word to say about them, and yet there stores are always busy!

The answer must be that they have a monopoly on the home market. But I would urge people to find an alternative.

My complaints are:-

1) Staff- if you can find one when you want to ask a question, they are unhelpful and unable to answer your query.

2) The same goods will have two or more different prices on them.

3) They are very expensive.

The only good point is they generally have a good selection, but I would advise you browse at PC World and buy elsewhere!

yep your right about the sales staff - they are hopeless. But if you look carefully they do have some cheap PCs on offer now and again. I actually got mine from there, but had to shout at a salesman thus "I WANT TO BUY THIS PC NOW I DON'T WANT TO TALK ABOUT IT - I WANT TO BUY IT NOW PLEASE! Only then did I get his attention.

I when in the other day just to browse their digital cameras. I read all opinions on digital cameras from dooyoo - good & bad points of each make and model. I knew more about this cameras than the bloke behind the desk! Of course, he did the obligatory sales pitch about extended warranties! He gave up in the end talking to me and concentrated talking to my fiancee. I decided than to use my dooyoo vouchers in Dixons or Currys, where at least I'd get a better service from more knowledgable staff!

So do I, have you seen PCWorlds boast we will never be beaten on price, what a joke!

They tried to charge me £90 for 64mb of Ram a month or so back, this was when Ram was still cheap
