Five months FREE Apple TV
By: suki1964 Date: November 13, 2023, 4:00 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
Curry's are giving away a 5 months Apple tv subscription on all
purchases at the moment
I usually refuse to buy from Curry's but I really needed a new
mouse, so £20, 6% cash back PLUS the five months FREE Apple sub,
I swallowed my pride and got myself a bargain :)

There was an outright free 5 month Apple TV deal on HUKD last
month. Managed to grab it and as usual there's just one
worthwhile series at any one time. Disney is similar with the
really cheap deals popping up via Clubcard points. There must be
a reason why the streaming giants keep offering near-free deals.
Curry's stores don't actually stock a lot of tech stuff, for
anything the slightest bit specialist they ship from a central
warehouse. Often at close to Amazon prices.

Well it might be of help to someone :)
I got a mouse from amazon and its carp. Keeps disconnecting, Im
having to use it wired and it wasnt much cheaper then the one
Ive just collected
I just hate giving Curry's my money, same as Ryanair, had to fly
with them this year, near killed me to buy the tickets , if it
weren't the wedding I would have refused

I think it's the in-store experience that puts some people off
Curry's for life. The staff are prone to mislead you on products
or are just plain witless. Curry's is however almost the last
general electrical/electronics chain. But when I hopefully used
their website to check for stock for a portable SSD a couple of
days ago, no chance, they ship from a warehouse just like
Amazon, just with a 3 day delivery instead of one. And they
craftily oblige you to log in before you can even check in-store
availability of items.

Their customer service is the pits - totally non existent , and
they do their best to wriggle out of consumer law
Good few years back, when you got the choice of HD ready or full
on HD tvs, I had to buy HD to be able to receive RTE ( Irelands
tv channel ) so I go in and say this is what I need, a tv to
receive RTE and got pointed out a stack. Bought it, took it
home. Now this was when Mr S still worked in London, so it never
got took out of the box for a week or three as it was being wall
mounted. He comes home, sets it up, no RTE as it was only HD
ready. So take it back and cos it was out of the 14 days or
whatever, they refused to exchange it
So I got a mouse , ordered online Sunday, picked it up yesterday
on my way into work. Now click and collect, you get sent a link.
When you get to store, you click the link to say you are there,
fill in a few details and get given a queue number. I was 1, not
surprising I was the only one in store, THREE staff stood
gabbing and totally ignoring me stood at the check out. I had to
go to them and say will someone serve
Boils my pee
As BL says, they dont keep very much of anything in stock and
delivery times can be hell on earth.
My local electrical store, family run, you walk in, you are
greeted ( by name in my case ) asked if you need help, the
relevant member of staff is located and you get full service.
You choose your purchase , you negotiate your discount ( always
get a discount as a returning customer ), you pay. If it's an
item you are taking with you, it is bought to the car and loaded
for you. If it's a big item for delivery, it's there at home the
same day or following morning. Buy a TV, they come and set it up
for you, buy a fridge or cooker, they take the old one away -
all included in the price and the prices are often less then
Curry's.
However they dont sell mice :)

Sounds just like Euronics where we got our last washing machine.
Even so, their in-store prices are notably higher than the much
promoted Euronics website prices. You basically have to walk in
and say "do you match your own online prices?" and proceed from
there.

Yes they are part of the Euronics umbrella . We have 3 kind of
locally, two of them are family run and fantastic, the third -
meh
The one I use automatically match the website price and will
price match anywhere else. Plus they have the most beautiful
coffee shop, its a lovely shop. The best thing is they stand
over their products, none of this out of warranty malarkey.

I do in store stock checks without logging in.
Its got a but rubbish in recent years with alot of the time it
doesnt tell you if its in stock or not and just says delivered
to store. It was doing this with a phone i wanted. I went along
to our local store and asked and they said they are in stock in
a store 10 miles away. He could see i wasnt keen and quickly
said we can get one sent here. I said no thanks i know another
store where i can get it today. It just meant a short journey a
bit further away, better than 10 miles though.
