I went to currys to buy a dishwasher, washing machine and fridge. After working out what I wanted, I asked if they could give me a discount as I was spending over £2000. They said no, but they would price match any cheaper price I could find.

I found a cheaper price (sainsburys online) and got it from there instead.

Sloppy service and overpriced.

Express Review on Currys

Curry's are the archetypal British big business. Cynical and greedy.
Shiny front end with poorly trained staff who know little or nothing about the products that they sell.
Much emphasis is placed upon the sale of guarantees because the DSG group, of which Curry's is a member, owns the insurance company.
The only time you'll get any genuinely concerned and caring service is if you hold a gun to their heads. A knowledge of Trading Standards and the Sale of Goods Act is a prerequisite. They WILL try to undermine your statutory rights and they WILL lie to you .
I used to work for a major appliance manufacturer and I've been 'behind the scenes' and they're a disorganised shower.
There are a number of 5* reviews here. Curry's must tell their staff to do this! There is nothing five star about this company.

I think I must have accidentally switched my invisibility cloak on this morning... I reserved an item online to collect in my local store - Purley Way, Croydon. Reserving the product was quick and easy and the website was easy to use. I had the option to have it delivered for free and I really wish I'd done that. However, the store is close by so I decided to get out in the fresh air and collect it myself. The counter for Reserve & Collect was clearly marked and situated near the entrance. When I arrived a member of staff was using the phone there so I waited politely. When she finished her call she walked off without even glancing at me. Nearby ...  Read the complete review

Currys is a large store selling electrical goods of all sizes, you can buy your alarm clock from currys, your freezer, tv, kettle, laptop, tumble dryer etc. They also sell any accessories you may need for your electrical goods. As far as choice and range of prices, currys is good. Although I do feel that with a bit of shopping around you will almost always find cheaper than Currys. I can say this with confidence as I recently just bought my first house and have bought almost eveything I have in it recently. I cannot remember having bought any of my household goods in Currys as I have always found what I wanted elsewhere for a better price! I ...  Read the complete review

Curry's is a major retailer of a range of electronic products from camera's, PC's and audio/visual equipment to washing machines, dishwashers and fridge freezers & loads more in between. It has many stores across the UK as well as an online presense. It is part of the DSG group, which also own PC World & Dixons. I'm a big fan of my electrical gadgets so like to have a walk round my local Curry's store every so often to see what the latest products out there are. However I would rarely make a purchase at any of their stores. There are a few reasons for this, the main one being price. Nearly all products I've seen in store have been cheaper ...  Read the complete review
