Can I join in with something positive about PCW? When my old PDA died recently, I needed a replacement and didn't have time to buy off the web as I usually would.

I went to my local PCW and found the IPAQ 4700 which was one of the 3 machines on my shortlist. However when I established that their best price was £400, over the top however desperate I was, the assistant suggested I went home and checked their web price, where it might be a bit cheaper.

It was actually £80 less, so I ordered it and drove back to PCW to collect exactly the same box I had held an hour earlier. If you know what you want, give it a try.

You can't blame pc world for answers you couldnt find on GPS units.. we (pc world) specialise in personal computers and accessories for them (hence the name PC World and not GPS World).. the GPS units are just extras that we happen to sell just like how let's say Tesco might sell a computer monitor even though they're not really a computer store! If you want further information on navigation systems, why don't you make good use of the net to do your research instead of coming into the store blindly and asking staff about navigation kits. We normally have one or two advisors in the sales team that specialises in navigation systems and when he/she isn't available then the others try their best to assist customers. It's plonkers like some of you in here that come in not knowing jack shite about such kits and just to get rid of you we just sell you the navigation kit that we're trying to clear stock of! Twisted Evil

And when some people start getting a bit rude they deserve the most crap devices given to them knowingly and by the time you realise its not good, the 14 day return policy is over and you're stuck with it! Laughing

We, as staff have the last laugh always.. one way or another! So if you really are there to ask for honest advice i can give you some now... get a life! 8) p.s. at the end of it all, you shall return! muahahaha! Twisted Evil

Here's why I love PC world

The place big ads with incredible special offers... but when you go in, they havent got any in stock EVER , havent had any, and arent getting any. Is that legal?

When there's a problem (and there often is) try and speak to a manager. The manager in our local store is an aggressive bully who doesnt care about honesty or integrity, and definitely not about his customers. I've also heard from staff that he doesnt care much for them either! But he's still there (and I dont shop there any more).

Heaven knows how they manage to stay in business![/list]

A few years ago while at Uni, I got a summer job at PC World, Glasgow.

I was so bored that I spend most of the time upstairs in the stock room on the phone! I spent the rest of the time in the staff room sleeping.

The managers were ignorant and not very good at all, the staff were target driven and had very poor computer knowledge, and the cleaners used to steal stuff until they got found out and sacked.
