I know that this poor excuse for a store is not exactly in East Dulwich but I'd advise everyone not to shop at PC WORLD as I've just had the worst experience of customer service ever in their Old Kent Road branch. It seems from a quick internet search that this is common knowledge but I just thought I'd share it with anyone that did not know how bad this company owned by Dixons, Curries etc is.

It's PC gone mad, I tell you.


I've been to that store - I'm surprised you actually found anyone to give you poor customer service. People on the ground in there were extremely well hidden. It was a bit like Python's 'How Not To Be Seen'.


Besides, anyone that steps into PC World without a little bit of computer knowledge is asking for it. Unless you need it right now, then Amazon and Dabs are your best bets.

I agree with Loz.


I bought my first ever PC from PC World. We had to wait a good 25 mins to find someone to serve us.


We then purchased a Packard Bell (aka Packard from Hell) PC at a vastly overinflated price.


I would recommend one of the following sites:


Dabs.com

Dell


If you want to read how a PC is rated...then get a copy of PC Plus or PC Pro magazine.

Tbey have first class reviews of PCs...very detailed and knowledgeable...far more than the average

PC world member of staff!!

PC World is fine if you know what you want. They do some great deals on some things. BUT I would never advise anyone goes there for PC advise or repair. I've lost count of the number of times I've seen customers given the wrong advice at the technical desk before being charged a ridiculous amount. PC repair at PC world is 'take the laziest route possible' even if that means someone loses all their (easily retrievable data) because they tell them that a reformat is the only option.


My most classic tale was being served by what looked like a 14 year old (at the reapir desk) who had never heard of a scsi drive or cable - I mean isn't that day one of an IT course????? I took him to his own stock counters and embarassed him proper.

    • Let me rephrase this He does not seem to be personally bothered by the impact he has.  Rather than immune from somebody taking action against him.  Although the bar had to be raised and raised before anyone did anything, and there are still those in his party who think it was wrong to get rid of him. He delivered a poor Brexit so didn't get that right.  He didn't believe in it, in the first place, he was just getting one up on his chum Dave.
    • 1. No he's not, he made a pigs ear of things, his leadership was poor and his behaviour was unbecoming of the highest office in the land.  2. No they don't,  he was a prime buffoon 3. Not a messiah, in no way. He caused great damage to both the Party and Country after three years of differing by May. The only thing he completed was B  r  e  x  i  t.  Are we paying the price. Don't ask me, I was in an induced coma at the time, fighting for my own life.    
    • My comment is trying to not take any political side but rather be objective on what I see, hear and read. If the Government made a positive difference to people's lives, people would be pro this Govt, but sadly the majority don't see an improvement since they have been in Office, but rather the opposite so people's opinions of the Government are poor.  I think if you did a straw poll of users on here, the result for those in favour of the Government is likely to be unfavourable, but I may be totally wrong, quite possible. No one I speak or am in contact with has a single good word to say about the current Administration. In fact the calls for a General Election just become stronger and stronger. 
    • Worth calling ahead as sometimes they can’t accept large donations
