PC World Reviews

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 ...  Read the complete review

I went to PCWorld a while back, to buy a modem for my computer, I knew about most things to do with modems, but I couldn't figure out what the difference was between 2 external modems, they both had nearly the same specs but the price difference was £50!. After walking around the shop for 20 minutes looking for an assistant, all of them that ...  Read the complete review

PC World are the worst electrical retailers I have ever had the misfortune to waste my money at.Last year,as a complete computer novice,I decided to pop into their Sheffield branch and get myself a pc.The salesman came bounding over with a big smile on his face,until I informed him that I wanted a computer at the lower priced end of the market ...  Read the complete review

Yes, its another bad review on PC world. When I first thought about getting a computer I tried mail order but that did not turn out too well, so I thought lets try a company like PC world. What a mistake. As soon as I walked in the store, I could feel the eyes staring and watching me, ready to pounce. I was wandering up and down the ...  Read the complete review

Having looked at all of the headers for this topic, I just had to submit a good, personal, experience of PC World. We bought a Hewlett Packard Pavilion (650MHz) from them a couple of months ago, at a cost of £1100. Five weeks after unboxing and setting up, we had tremendous problems. To try and resolve our system problems, we booted up ...  Read the complete review

I recently bought a computer from PC world. I paid a little extra for a larger and better monitor. I was talked into buying computer cover that was supposed to be all singing and dancing, no effort on my part if any parts went wrong. As soon as I set the computer up I realised that the monitor was Kaput. I telephoned the ...  Read the complete review

I've read all the opinions about PC World and experienced their products and after sales-(non)care. I totally agree and relate to what everyone has said. PC World are only interesting in taking you if you are seemed to be buying one of their top of the range PC's or other major purchases. They aren't interested if you ...  Read the complete review

What does the name conjure up? A store where everything revolves around PC hardware and support of PC Hardware. So why the hell do we end up with endless streams of 16 year olds coming up and saying, "Can I Help You?"? These kids no sod all about PCs, even I know more than them, and so why should they be sales reps? because ...  Read the complete review

I will be straight to the point about PCWorld. I cant say that I am there greatest fan. There customer service is apalling. There product range is very dissapointing particularly the hardware. There prices are absolutely astronomical. The only advantage over buying mail order is that you can have the product there and then as opposed to having to ...  Read the complete review

This shop has no high street competitor, and I cannot understand why. The staff are untrained, only interested in getting customers to sign up for expensive warranties, most of the PCs on display are out of stock and the consumables must be the most expensive anywhere. Other electrical stores carry a small range of PCs and accessories, but PC ...  Read the complete review

I am afraid words fail me with this company. My son was fortunate enough to have a PC bought for him a couple of years ago with three years extended warranty, unfortunately it was from PC World. When something small went wrong, we had to drag the whole lot back to them, apparently a button had broken on the disc drawer, they claim it is a ...  Read the complete review

I do not like PC World I think they are a big organisation just out to make a quick buck!! My mother recently purchased a computer off them despite my best efforts to get her to shop elsewhere. She told me she was buying it from PC World PC of their great after sales support. When we got home we found that the operating system was incompletely ...  Read the complete review

My opinion of PC World is not entirely negative but I do find the staff are quite hopeless! We went to purchase a PC last weekend after a lot of shopping around, PC World seemed to be the cheapest option. As an intermediate computer user I had a very specific idea of what we wanted in a PC. After a good look round we found one that we were happy ...  Read the complete review

Well, PC World, what degrading adjectives can I conjure up to try to describe you? Rip-off? Costly? Thick? Rubbish? Annoying? The list is endless. THE PRICES To start with, PC World is a RIP-OFF. It's just another example of the wonderful "Rip-Off Britain", in which absolutely EVERYTHING is the deerest in the ...  Read the complete review

PC World is not all it's cracked up to be..low prices it claims and that may be so..but what about service? A couple of months ago I tried to buy a digital camera from them, I must admit that the guy who showed us how it worked was great and I was all set to purchase it. Then he realised he had a problem although his computer ...  Read the complete review

Should you buy any peripherals from PC World you need to be aware of their returns policy, should anything go wrong. I bought a HP cd rewriter from them about 6 weeks ago, in the 3rd week it started to make a crunching noise when disks were loaded up. Took it back today as the problem had started to get more regular, their terms are a bit ...  Read the complete review

For such a big name store PC World really does need to spend a little bit of time and effort in teaching its staff the meaning of customer care A few months ago my mum went into one of their stores to buy a PC for my brother. As she didn't have a clue about what to look for, what was the best one for his needs etc she decided to ask the ...  Read the complete review

I also have had a very negative experience at PC World. I went to their "Technical advice" desk following a problem with my computer after installing software from their store. They gave me no hint of technical advice, and constantly answered the phone while I tried to talk to them. They gave me the phone number of their technical ...  Read the complete review

PC World are part of the Dixons group and are normally located in large out of town complexes. They stock computers as well as extras such as printers, consumables, and handheld devices. PC World appear to be exploiting their position in the market as a high street name people like to trust. The truth of the matter is that their ...  Read the complete review
