“…yeah, leave it here. The bastard can come and get it…”
Good day fellow cunters! I’d like to put out a stop the World I want to get off, laziness blamed on Covid 19 cunting on Currys PC World! Covid 19 has become a scapegoat, nay, a get out clause for substandard customer service (does this even exist anymore??) and bone idleness in consumer affairs. I ordered a overpriced washing machine from these shyster bastards in good faith, paid over the odds for installation, delivery and removal of the knackered one; just a shame they couldn’t agree to take the wife too.
So, I commute to the other side of the UK for work, leaving the missus fully au fait with imminent delivery of white (shite) goods, time, date, itinerary from Currys emails. Nowhere in these messages, delivery instructions or e-receipts does it mention Covid restrictions or virus related limitations.
Come the delivery two clinically obese, chain smoking adverts poster men for euthanasia tip up. They bang on the front door then tell the wife they CAN’T enter our house, unpackage or install the washer and we can forget them taking the old machine away. Why? Erm, Covid… Utter cunts. To ice the turd the morons then unceremoniously wheeled the washing machine in, to our fucking hallway, INSIDE the house! They just dumped it, walked out and fucked off.
I was apoplectic with rage 150 miles away when I learned about this fuckwittery! Hypocrites. Two delivery men? What about ‘anti’ social distancing?? They simply couldn’t be arsed and scapegoated Chinky flu. The cheeky shits even ticked off online that they’d completed the entire order and services. Superheats my piss. Don’t get my started on their customer complaint line: No-one home. Covid 19 motherfuckers: ‘We have your money now piss off!’

They are cunts. I worked for Comet 20 years and hated the bastards. We were nice people at my branches. Buy local, it’s normally not much different price wise. And they smaller shops give a fuck.
19
Comet were indeed cunts.
A tip: To get the washing machine delivered properly say (whinge) on the phone that you no speaky english and that Curry’s is ‘racist’. The fuckers will deliver it, plumb it in, and put your washing in for you. It really does work, Whatever they want, they fucking get.
16
There’s a groundswell of people that would rather buy local/independent on the understanding flashy marketing, clickbait websites, smarmy faces are far removed from reality and your lining the pockets of shareholder pension pot cunts….fuck right off I’d like to go in the store and curl one out in front of the 4K tv go local pay 4% more deal with Generally nicer More decent folk

This virus will be a watershed for many-a business. The Royal Mail took 15 days to deliver a first class letter to a friend whilst organisations like the Tank Museum are working like mad to get videos out on YouTube to entertain the house bound. I have spent a fortune at their online shop in recognition of their efforts.
The U.K. has a history of duff managers in both the public and private sectors.
A few cunts going to the wall should focus minds.
19
It’s a pity big business doesn’t use somewhere like the Tank museum as their model for customer satisfaction.
Visited it a few times, great day out for kids. It gives them a glimpse of what our country used to be.
Always try to support the Tiger day.

Is this the one at Bovinvton? I remember going there some 40 years ago and loving the place.
6
It has grown since I started going there 10 years ago. Have a look at their YouTube offerings, Tank Chats and The Curator at Home. Wonderful staff.
3
And if you’re in the area, try Monkey world and the Sportman gun centre.
All really nice people.
2
Will have to have a look, perhaps they can recommend something for going shopping in.

Try a supermarket Moggie, theyre really poular.

I stopped dealing with these utter cunts when I took my Mother in Law’s vacuum cleaner back to the shop after it stopped working, it was around 14 months old and she’d taken out their “Whatever Happens” extended warranty/insurance on it.
Only it turns out that “Whatever Happens” they’ll do fuck all! They tried to tell me that the 87 year old dear had sucked water up in to the motor, er…when does anything that a vacuum cleaner sucks up goes through or anywhere near the fucking motor?
The old dear had used the thing at most once a fortnight as she hardly ever moved out of her chair.
I took it back to her, tinkered around with it, changed the fuse and it fucking worked!
Useless wankers that also happen to be a bunch of cunts!
15
Just lazy cunts, couldnt be arsed.
As most of you know im a. Removalman, and get a lot of work from people whos goods have arrived and the delivery guys left a yank fridge/washing machine/ chest freezer on the path.
Fiddler mentioned Alan Turing before and did this at his house with wardrobes ( not for Alan hes dead)
Left the woman there with 2 massive wardrobes on a Saturday dumped in the hallway!
Its shoddy service and a cunts trick, no matter what your doing from a surgeon to a bloke who cleans public shithouses,
Your British!
Take some pride in your work, strive to at least get it right if not the best.

You’re not a frequent visitor to Mocha Parade in Salford, are you?

Never heard of it Moggie.

I am also in the same trade. The amount of work we get from people dumping white goods is crazy. It won’t fit the usual excuse from these clowns, so we will leave it here! Lazy cunts haven’t even TRIED to get the fucker in. Seems there’s never a bloke in the house, just a Doris.
1
Currys, Dixons, PC World, Comet – all too happy to flog you a white good (can I still say “white”?), saying how brilliant it is blah blah, and that you can have it on a 2 or 3 year credit deal at a paltry 39% APR.
They’ll also slide their tongues up your arsehole in order to loosen you for 3 or 5 year extended warranty (with a shitload of exclusions written in very small print, but they don’t mention that). And if you say they “yay” to that they’ll add that onto your credit deal, whacking up the repayments even more!
And as soon as something goes tits up, you’re on your fucking own. Some engineers that come out to you wouldn’t know how to fit their feet into a pair of fucking shoes most of the time, and some of the dopey cunts at the in-store repair shops probably spend hours looking for the right You Tube video that will help them fix your problem because they haven’t got a fucking clue themselves.

About 3 years ago, I redecorated my Moms utility room. Her 2nd hand German freezer (£60) which had served her well for 6 years finally gave up.
She fancied one of these American Huge Fridge Freezers. I duly searched for one within budget & not too big that it wouldn’t fit in house. Found one from Co-op electricals – read ALLthe small print ‘Before ordering Large Appliances, please check size & measure all doorways/corridors to ensure item will fit through’
Duly measured – Garage door, kitchen/garage door, utility door – all OK & larger than product size.
It arrives with 3 blokes, they trolley into garage – won’t fit through kitchen door.
Me – “I checked size as website”
Delivery : “That’s the size out of the box”
Me – “Can’t you take it out the box so it’ll fit through?”
Delivery : “Well yes we can, but if we remove the packaging, we’ll have to leave it in the garage ”
Me – “what ???”
Delivery – “we are subcontractors for the co-op & are not insured for damage once the box is removed- we can only move it wrapped”
Me – “are you having a laugh ?”
Delivery – “We’ll contact Co-op office”
Co-op “yes I’m sorry it’s terms of our delivery contracts. They can un package it for you inthe garage & then you can move it yourself”
Me – “its 550kg – are you mental ?”
Co-op “we can take it back & provide you a refund once it’s back at stores”
“Do that then”
3 weeks later got a refund – ordered 2 identical upright fridge freezers (NOT from Co-op) Delivered. Installed next to each other, one LH opening, one RH opening – simple !

An absolute bunch of cunts. I’ve only dealt with these idiots once but never again. It took a lot of shouting about the Sale of Goods Act in the shop, letters, phone calls and threats of legal action before I finally got my money back. They are 100% shit, don’t go near them.
15
Dead right there Freddie.
Never used these cunts again after buying a duff washing machine. I too had to stand in store and shout about the sale of goods act to get anything done.
Utter cunts.
13
I broke Mrs. Wanksock’s iPad and took it in to PC World (same company as Curry’s) to be repaired. I was told it unrepairable and I would have to buy a new one. She was going spare so I did, about £400, I think. The old one was sitting on the seat of my car and a tech savvy friend saw it and put a new screen in for me for £25. They are cunts of the biggest order.
15
Had exactly the same 6 months ago from these cunts; new fridge freezer that I’d carefully checked all the dims on to make sure it would go through back doors (ooh er mrs), brought by 2 blokes – one a 6-stone wet through peaceful complete with shiny doorag, the other a fat 60-year-old white bloke who looked the sort to still be living at home with his mum’s corpse. After 5 minutes of tutting and faffing about with lifting straps they gave up and said we’re leaving it outside your door, and said it was our fault for not checking measurements. Me and the mrs proceeded to unpack it, opened the doors to give it some slide room, and got it through into the kitchen inside of 5 minutes whilst they watched and packed their straps away. Wankers.
18
Dealt with these Cunts about a year ago. Wanted a new TV. Fuck me.
Can I have your address to check for TV licence?
No don’t have one, we use netflix etc.
Right the warranty is x amount a month.
Don’t want a warranty, not worth the paper its printed on.
Ohhhh, in that case I’ll have to speak to my manager.
No. Just get one out of the store room, I’ll be at the till.
At the till. Do you want to pay over 5 years?
What for a fucking TV? Just take my cash and fuck off.
I didn’t go to their emporium of shite goods at 10am on a Sunday morning to spend the day begging permission to buy a bloody T.V.
Them and fucking car dealerships. Grade A cunts.
20
Fucking right about car dealerships – they are black-belts in the art of being cunts to customers. One of the reasons I hang on to my cars so long – I just can’t face going to a dealer.
ps – does anyone know why my name and email is never saved, despite ticking the box?
5
What device are you using? This happens from time to time on my iPad and I guess it’s something to do with cookies not being stored properly.
Perhaps one of the techies like Technocunt can elaborate?
1
That is one of the weirdest experiences I have ever had.
Bought a brand new car in coventry. Right model, right colour, right price.
As I had been to see it the week before and agreed the sale, it was a simple matter of picking up the car and the V5 and paying for it. I had already taxed and insured it from that day. Piece of piss, right?
The little arseflake of a salestwat could believe that I didn’t want credit and I had to sign a document saying it was offered, but not required.
Two weeks bridging insurance, also not required. Had to sign another document for the same reason.
Then I went to pay the balance for the car and got flanked by two heavies and the manager while I was tapping in my pin number for the debit card.
What the fuck is that all about?

PC World are cunts when it comes to computer repairs/upgrades.
They’ll often say “You need more memory/storage/graphics card We can do this for you at only £90 labour excluding parts & VAT!”
Admittedly swapping out any of the above is a bit of a faff, but all you need is a couple of tools, an ESD wrist strap and perhaps an appropriate YouTube vid, and you can do the job yourself!
But then they’ll say “if you do that yourself you’ll invalidate your warranty.” Don’t be scared by this bullshit: as we already know their warranties don’t mean shit anyhow.
11
I’ve been building and/or upgrading my desktops for over 20 years now and I wouldn’t trust PC World to clean it let alone tinker inside. It took me 10 seconds to discover that the staff know fuck all about PC’s, or pretty much anything else they sell and the range of desktops, such as it is, is risible. I now buy everything online.
7
Always great fun to tease these young “I know everything about tech” sales twats in places like PCW.
Start off by playing the dumb customer by saying “I know naffinks abaaat computers. Can you help?”
And then say “What’s a hard drive? What’s a memory? What’s a motherboard?” Because you can then see it in their eyes what they’re thinking “I can sell this gullible twat anything with a bit of techspeak!”
But then you slip into gear and come out with “Are the RAM chips DDR3 or 4. And I need to know if they’re Non-ECC”
or
“Can I overclock this Intel I5-9600, or will I need a bigger sink?”
or
“What’s the diff between this HDD and the Crucial MX300 SSD?”
And then just walk away while he stands there like a complete fucking plum!
8
I had one all enthusiastic about the ‘massive 2GB of RAM’. I pointed out that my PC at the time was sporting 8GB and I was looking to UPgrade not go down. He’d also never heard of SSD’s. Where the fuck do they find these people? At least give the poor bastards some training.
5
I should point out that, on the whole,I’ve been happy with Curry’s, but that was before they merged. It’s always been PC World that have been the clueless waste of space arseholes and that attitude, unfortunately, appears to have rubbed off onto Curry’s as well now.
4
On a rare positive note, may I say that AO.com are decidedly not cunts (at least in my experience), having dropped off and installed a big fridge freezer and a washing machine without any hassle whatsoever (this was before the tīddlywīnk flu).
10
A second thumbs up for AO.com. Fitted a new dishwasher, took away the old one (£30 for both), and fixed a leak 8 months later due to a dodgy washer – no fuss at all.

I wanted a certain make and model of tv and the only company who had one was Currys. It was a demonstration model which was in the showroom and they’d knocked £50 off the usual price. I arranged for them to install it because it was too big for me to handle on my own and anyway I’m hopeless at that kind of thing.
The blokes who turned up with it were not Currys people, they were just from a delivery firm. The weather wasn’t good but they didn’t bother with shoe covers, they just trampled muck all over my carpet. They didn’t want to spend more than thirty seconds explaining how it connected to Sky, VCR, DVD player etc. Nobody had bothered to clean it, it still had all the muck and dust from the showroom on it and they hadn’t brought a remote control. Apart from that, everything was perfect.
Needless to say, they won’t be getting any more of my money.
6
I assume you received the remote control eventually? In my experience the remote is essential to access 95% of functions on a today’s TVs.
7
You can download a universal remote onto your phone or tablet if the TV is networked.

TWO WORDS…..Appliances Online…very good.

They seem to employ a lot of second generation taxi drivers.

Dancing with Mrs Daz at a wedding is like trying to move a wardrobe single handed. Alas, I have insisted, that when she gets too old for carting my smalls down to the river and bashing them clean on the rocks, I will treat her to one of these new-fangled contraptions. I shall not be seeking the services of these cunts. CUNTS!
6
Arrange a delivery of WHITE goods to addresses on a sink estate, and firebomb as many of their lorries as possible.
As my learned friend says above, find a good local supplier and use them.
I do like to have my arsehole loosened with a young ladies tongue, but I would never pay out for credit deals or extended warranties. It’s as much as I can do to pay out for young ladies / prossies
Just caught a glimpse in the header of old Jo Swineson, howling with laughter, easily one of the uggliest old fucking slags to ever prowl this earth, before or since the extinction of dinosaurs.

I had an aunt who bought a washing machine from them, had to be Indesit, because you know customer loyalty (?). It was an appalling waste of space made by Whirlpool, it sort of worked for a week. Yours truly gets to go and sort it out, Currys say its Whirlpools problem and vice versa, each exchange taking hours on the phone. In the end I just turned up every day until they offered an upgrade (for more money) just to get rid of me. Just another notch down, just another notch.
6
She should have gone Beko. I took particular delight at the fact that Beko washing machines used to catch fire. How can something full of water catch fire? Still cheap tatt sold at high price allowed Beko to sign a shirt sponsorship deal with Barcelona for £50M…..I hope Messi doesn’t catch fire the little Argentinian CUNT!
6
I bought a Beko. Turkish I think, certainly liked a smoke.

a cobra meeting style cunting for the UK PLEASE.
We’ve just flown in 52 Greeks from some camp they’ve been living in – to start a new life in the UK.
Yup we’re importing them in to our welcoming and clearly bereft society.
we are an absolute shambles as a nation

Agreed, Currys PC World are indeed cunts. Bought a new laptop, malfunctioning within a Month, emailed these pricks to get a shitty arrogant response telling me I would have to contact the manufacturer direct. Bullshit – the seller has to deal with the warranty.
As I was building a case against them I called HP “customer services” – in itself an appalling experience, an hour and 18 minutes on the phone where some romanian bastard was trying to get me to rip the thing apart, I pointed out that any work I did would invalidate the warranty and if they would be happy for me to play the call I had recorded (I always tell them I am recording the call, amazing how much that wakes them up) at the forthcoming County Court case I was now starting against them, for the gippo cunt to start laughing and saying “you should have not bought a HP product if you wanted a good one”. (Said Roma bastard subsequently sacked after the call recording was listened to at my insistence).
Contacted Currys PC World by phone (50 minutes) and told them I was not prepared to have my laptop away for up to 2 Months while they attempted to repair it so wanted a new one or a refund.
“Oh, we never give refunds Sir – you see you have used the product so we can’t”! Really? – my blood was up by now.
I found Currys PC World UK head office and issued County Court proceedings, and received a genuinely sinister email stating that they were taking me to Court for harassment – for wanting a defective Month old item repairing!
Forwarded said email to the CEO of Currys PC World and told the fucker I would be on Facebook and Twitter to let the World at large know about their shit service and lousy attitude.
Full refund, and I fixed the thing myself by installing new drivers.
Currys PC World also sold me a multi printer without the power cable and when I complained told me (unbelievably) “It is not company policy to provide free leads” – snotty little bitch with an attitude problem – same scenario, then the lead delivered by courier the next day, I hate this company of utter fucking greedy idiots and will never put money in their skank pockets again.
Bad service from Currys PC World seems to be quite frequent, to say the least.
As appears to be the case generally, customer service in the UK is appalling.
8
I’ve had same experience with these cunts regarding a digital camera. The fuckers know the law, but just point blank refuse to cough up. Make sure you buy anything with a credit card and then you will be covered with the credit card company. Taking them to the small claims court is more satisfying though.
5
Buying ready made PCs from these shysters is now basically for the tech illiterate, the over 45’s, or those who would struggle to assemble a thirty piece christmas cracker lego model.
If you can use Google, you can build a fucking PC. Cut out Currys and save yourself hundreds of pounds. Or at least use a custom build shop where you can customise the parts instead of buying more of what you don’t need and less of what you require.
At this point they’re the equivalent of what Argos was 10 years ago as Amazon was fucking them into the dirt with their superior online business model.
3
My current desktop was built by Chillblast about 6 years ago and when I could afford it I added a graphics card, sound card and upped the RAM to 12GB. Shame I can’t upgrade to Win10, so it’ll have to be 8.1.
2
Another great option that, being able to upgrade. I’ve traded that for a custom laptop (pcspecialist) recently, for portability. Laptop hardware is now powerful enough for just about anything. Sexy little thing too, all metal casing, about an inch thick.
3
I don’t need portability so it’s a desktop every time for me with a 27″ monitor. Plus, I hate laptop keyboards and absolutely loathe touchpads.
3
I bought a new television just before Xmas, I got it from a local electrical shop, service from start to finish brilliant.
It wasn’t a lot more than I would have paid with any of the big retailers.
I wouldn’t even go on Currys to look round.
Once bought my son a laptop from there, more hassle than it was worth when we had problems with it 3 months later.
Horrible skanking cunts, buy from the small shops I do where possible.
7
Yep – I buy electrical goods from a local store, or the cheapest from Argos. Wouldn’t go near Currys – if only because I hate their woke adverts with effnicks. Dixons used to be just as shit – dumbo dixons.
9
A top cunting, with some top cunting replies
5
Indeed! I was just about to fork out £1100 for a new inspiron from dell. Think I might build my own again after reading this cunting. last one I built was over a decade ago so I’m a little out of sorts these days, but it’s still going strong though but what with the software I need to use now, I would need to replace a motherboard, upgrade RAM and graphics card…fuck it! Few beers and chuck it all in the tower…
4
I thought this nom was going to be about a dodgy vindaloo. What, Currys is a firm selling white goods then?

Same experience of these cunts. Will never use them again. Does anyone know anybody who has ever been satisfied with these fuckers? I hope they go out of business.
