Comet.co.uk Reviews

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 ...

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. I got to the store with 5 or 10 minutes to spare so as to impress my ...

Comet (www.comet.co.uk) [Background: www.comet.co.uk is the online arm of the large electrical retailer Comet. Present in several (around 260) edge of town or out of town retail developments, Comet claim to the second largest supplier of major electrical appliances in the United Kingdom.] I believe that I am a shrewd shopper, and ...

Comet I feel are the leading home and electrical store in the country! They always have excellent pricing and superb products on offer, and I was particularly impressed by their customer service. The staff are very helpful, and actually know what they are talking about, which makes a change. I recently purchased a Pioneer CD Player, ...

If you're looking to buy a mainstream product like a washing machine, TV or video, then its worth checking just the front page of http://www.comet.co.uk every so often. They do have good deals every so often, but there aren't many of them, and they are usually highlighted on the front page. I bought a Whirlpool washing machine for £200 on ...

On three seperate occasions i have been stupid enough to buy from Comet, and each time in one way or another they have failed to deliver simple customer service. Lets assume you accept their inability to employ decent knowledgable staff - as this seems to be a High Street trend among the large chains nowadays, and lets pretend that we all enjoy ...

This has got to be one of the greatest off-line stores out there in the world today! The prices really are unbeatable off-line. The product range is really great, it caters for everyone and what they are willing to spend. Great shop. But....... ..Yes there is a but. I'm an 18 year old college student, who usually goes shopping with a ...

At the beginning of November i pre-ordered a Playstation 2 through Comet Direct. The deposit of £28.99 was then taken from my credit card on the 12/11/00, and i recived a reciept. On the 12th Dec i recieved a letter from Sony UK saying that my playstation 2 would be ready at Comet Direct by the 16th Dec, and should be delivered by the ...

Although I have been a Comet High Street purchaser for years, I will never buy from their website ever again. I have made many major purchasers from Comet over the years. My first Playstation, my Dolby Surround stereo, my DVD player and many more. So when they announced their online store, I was eager to find something to purchase ...
