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 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.

    • I went last week and would recommend. I was very happy to see pricing based on hair length and especially a fringe trim price. I live nearby and don’t need it fully styled / blown out after a cut (curly so usually prefer to do it myself) so I like that it is variable pricing in that way. 
    • Memes top of lordship haircut shampoo blow dry about £25  dulwich barbers hair cut about£22  jazzes haircut about £26 
    • Re Day One, £52 for a short hair cut (cut & styling) and £72 for a long hair cut (cut & styling) which I believe is below the ears.  £38 for a blow dry which doesn’t appear to be included in the cut price as it’s not mentioned.  £15 for a fringe tidy.      I remember being startled to be charged separately for a blow dry by the salon that used to be in Melbourne Grove but is now closed down.  I was asked if I wanted a blow dry after the cut and highlights and said yes, but wasn’t told that I would be charged separately.  Only found out when I went to pay the bill.    Was offered a voucher on a further appointment.    De.Salon which used to be Cut-Throat in Peckham (Choumert Rd and Brixton) charge from £45 for a Short haircut that finishes by the ears.  They charge from £40 for any haircut that finishes below the jawline.  Their prices include a blow dry.  But if you have thick hair they charge an extra £15 for every additional 15 minutes for cutting.     I had my hair cut there before the name change.  I don’t understand the from part of the price. Had a look at the Blue Tit pricing which is very complicated. They charge depending on the stylist’s  experience.  Crab Salad in Peckham  -  short hair cut above the ear - from £69.    Long hair Cut below the ear from £80. Blow dry not mentioned as being included in the cut but is priced at £55 I noticed that Kuki charge different prices for men and women.  Doesn’t seem right if a woman has short hair and a man has long hair.   I used to go to a great salon in NW London  that charged the same price for men and women and stopped going when they upped their prices for women.
