Sounds like the shop I most hate in the world "Currys" evil:
I am currently in a battle with Tapi ( flooring) . We had some new flooring fitted in Feb. Day after fitting I noticed one of the boards was lifting so called them up. They sent the same contractors back who replaced. However started to happen again.
Called them back and asked for another contractor to visit as had no confidence in the original. 4 weeks later and after having to chase them they sent another. He confirmed an area of the flooring had been laid incorrectly cussing:. Would need to order more boards and replace.
Another month passes and no contact so I wrote a very unhappy review on Trust Pilot on Sunday - naming the store. Quelle Surprise I get a phone call from the store on Monday and the fella starts off by saying he thought I understood that they were just waiting on delivery of the flooring and they would have contacted me if it had arrived and that they were making every effort to "make me happy" !!!
Oh dear the conversation went downhill from there lol:. I explained it wasn't about my happiness but about correcting their errors etc . He wasn't amused.
Annoyed fella rings again later that day and suddenly it seems flooring is available and can they arrange fitting on Wednesday (tomorrow) ; what a coincidence eh lol: But then the tosser goes on to say if once the flooring is fitted and i "am happy" could I please take down the review .
Another call today just to again confirm tomorrows arrangements ( thinking about getting a restraining order now lol:)
Also a separate email from their regional and head office asking me to update them tomorrow lol: lol: lol:

You go in, you see the toaster (other appliances are available) you like, you use your phone to check any details and you take it to the till and the (in our experience) pleasant staff let you pay for it.

Pleasant staff eeek: As Nick indicates not the general experience I have had noooo:
God forbid that you want to ask a member of staff any questions ...like do you have such and such in stock? They are like cockroaches and go scuttling in the opposite direction when you get too near them .
Even worse take something back cos it doesn't work 2 months after purchase ::)
You explain the issue to lobotomised youff who cannot make eye contact as he might actually spontaneously combust. Spends 10 minutes typing his life story into a computer ...again not making eye contact or providing any explanation. Literally just standing there while he is ignoring you !! Then has the audacity to ask "what was wrong again" ? So I told him I came in with an issue about a laptop but now the bigger issue is you!!!
This is just the latest....there is a big back catalogue of Curry customer crappiness

Use Mrs K's phone
or just don't buy it. The routing usually consists of her pointing at something saying 'I want', I put up a pathetically failing defence of 'but we've already got one' and then I go look at the reviews of it at Amazon. If they don't say it's crap then out comes my credit card.
To be fair last thing bought there was our printer and before that a toaster. All the recent expensive stuff came with the dead relative funded new kitchen.
