Premium Review Comet.co.uk: Internet Shopping with lots of free hassle (1032 words)
by Bazza1603 - written on 27.05.01 (Very useful, 147 readings)
Rating:

About two weeks ago we had a problem with our gas cooker and decided it was safer to buy a new one rather than getting ours repaired. As it decided to break about 8pm in the evening I decided I would hunt around the Internet looking for the best deal instead on hunting around in the shops in my dinner hour or after a hard day at work. I ...

I am going to be very unorthodox and actually praise an electrical store !! My Story -------- I am fortunate to have a wonderful husband who can't bear to see his wife suffering the toils of everyday household disasters ! Bearing this is mind, I approached said husband sheepishly with crooked grin on face, (I ...

Premium Review Comet.co.uk: 5 Star Cover Scam (547 words)

Hi, I bought a 28" Sony Trinitron Widescreen television from Comet just before Christmas 2001. The TV itself is fine...now. I have always used Comet in the past, but never bought anything of this value. The TV was worth £1200! and of course with this sort of purchase I decided to take out the 5 star warranty. The main reason I took out this ...

Premium Review Not a shining star (1099 words)

I'm sure Comet has its fans. I bet people have bought stuff from them over the years and had totally trouble free service from them. Frankly, nothing on earth would drag me into this appalling excuse for a retailer now after my most recent experience. We have had a long and stormy relationship. For a long time, they were the only ...

Premium Review Comet.co.uk: Freezer Burn (248 words)

At Christmas, my mum offered to buy me a freezer. I checked all the local stores and online with the usual suspects. The best deal was through Comet online who offered a 4 cubic feet upright freezer with 4 compartments for just £120. Equivalent freezers were more like £160-200 with other people so I went ahead and ordered it. I was sent an email ...

As much as I'd like to praise Comet, I can't. I used to work there and the standard of customer service is appalling. They aren't interested in selling products, where they make the real profit is warranties. We used to be under threat of dismissal if our individual daily warranty sales were less than 30% of our total sales ...

I’m writing this to warn all of you about Comet insurance. I purchased a 28” TOSHIBA COLOUR TV in Oct 1998 at a cost £799.00, at the same time I purchased the Comet five star Super cover extended warranty which cost another £200 apx. Which if you don’t claim you can receive your money back, as long as you remember to ...

Just after Christmas I purchased from Comet a JVC Micro hi-fi. This was a clearance model, and because it was on display, I got about £25 off (it was a micro unit, rrp about £135, I got for about £110). All was well and good, but the remote control on display with it was not the correct one. It did the basic functions of On/Off and the ...

I recently purchased a Panasonic SJMR200 minidisc from Comet direct(over the phone). I was offered insurance, 3 years @£29.99 or five years @£49.99. I was told that with the five years insurance I would get my money back if I did not claim, so I opted for this insurance. However, over the phone I was told none of the following, and only that I ...

This shop has to be the worst Electrical Store around. Everytime I am in the shop I am made to either feel like a shoplifter or that I can't afford anything. Comet sells all the normal electrical items - computers, games consols, phones, video recorders, freezers, cookers etc. The staff in this shop are like hawks. ...

I have to say I can't stand this shop. The range of things is alright but the staff let it down every time. The Comet that is near me is next door to Currys. When we go to Currys (which I like as this shop is great), we usually go next door as to see if there are any deals on or the product is cheaper. We went to buy a TV and ...

Premium Review Comet's credit trap! (768 words)

Comet - good brands of all types of electrical appliances at reasonable prices. I give Comet this much credit, but a word of warning is do not opt for their interest free credit schemes available on most major appliances, unless you really have to. The credit option is run through Time Retail Finance (TRF), as a subsidiary of the ...

Alongside the other major high street electrical retailers such as Dixons and Currys, Comet must rank as one of the biggest names out there. Part of the Kingfisher chain of stores, which also includes such stores as Woolworths, Superdrug, Peacocks and the like, Comet specialises in basically everything you would expect from a major ...

Right, before I get into any sort of detail here, I must make one thing clear. With the possible exception of the odd one or two innocent sales persons, no-one in the entire Comet organisation gives two figs what you buy when you enter one of their stores. You could be after a widescreen TV or a hairdryer; management don't care. As long as ...

Well Comet certainly has a reputation in my opinion, but not for the good deals. I thought that with a company this big it would invest in good customer service. I live in a Valley Town, and the nearest store is in Merthyr. I have been there on several occassions, the first time I went there I was inondated with staff and sales people. ...

I bought my Denon hi-fi through Comet, then I bought a copy of what hifi magazine, phoned around a bit and found it 50 quid less. I had to email Comet twice, saying that the competitor had it in stock cheaper, and that they were a proper shop not mail order, and in ten mile radius. They mailed me back and gave me 50 pounds off. So I am ...

After being asked to pay an extra £20.00 to have a washing machine delivered by mail order catelogue, I decided to cancel and bought one online from Comet. They said they can deliver in 3-7 days and you can choose the day and time am/pm. The machine I bought was the same price as the other one but for a much better model, and ...

Hi there, I'm Seventeen years old and just finished a temporary Christmas job at Comet. I've been frantically saving up for a car since around June 99' and after handing in my CV (what little of it there was!!!) I had a call from Comet to attend an interview.

The staff are very helpful, and actually know what they are talking about, which makes a change. I recently purchased a Pioneer CD Player, ...
