Ordered Motherboard bundle and a B grade 1TB NVME SSD…read more The value of the B grade nvme was £80 Incorrect 500gb SSD shipped - the mistake was due to incorrect (possibly deceitful) labelling of stock inventory and clearly no system of thoroughly checking items before being posted to customer. Emails then ignored for 3 days, wasn't until they were called that any action was to be taken. Not only is that an unacceptable time frame, its frankly borderline disability discrimination, as someone who is AuADHD and have other health issues, the last thing I want to be doing is ringing companies to chase issues that should already have been looked into as it makes my symptoms worse and I will be unwell for days after. On the phone I was spoken to with Dan, who did not offer a satisfactory resolution to the problem. It felt like there is a culture of apathy at CCL where the whole system seemed quite inflexible and born out of a business that is happy to regularly make mistakes at the customers detriment. It is not my fault that the wrong item was sent and that there isn't stock of the item I ordered. The reasonable solution most other decent companies would have taken would have been to replace the £80 B grade NVME with new stock one (£100 at the time of my purchase) and have the 500GB incorrect one returned and the company eats the mistake of losing £20 - but naturally they had already increased the price of the new item to £115 and did not give this option. Instead I was forced to choose between a partial refund or returning the item - not satisfactory considering the items are all part of a birthday gift for a 13 year old that needs to be ready in a weeks time. Edit - was called again by Dan who said he cannot do the partial refund so the only option was to send the item back and get a full refund. NOT IMPRESSED I will not be using CCL again unless the realise the value in seeking returning customers via good customer support and will stick to using their competitors.

This company over-charges (check Amazon for lower prices on most their products), is dishonest…read moreabout delivery times and has appalling customer service, not responding to emails. I ordered a CPU from them on Nov 8th at scalping prices (£70 above RRP) on the basis of a promised 15th Nov shipping date. When it hadn't turned up by the 20th, I contacted them and was told to expect it towards the end of November. By the end of December still nothing heard, so I emailed them telling them how unhappy I was - they didn't bother to answer my email but logging in to the web site, I find out that they have simply cancelled my order without telling me. I have never had such dreadful service from a company selling computer parts.

This is a huge Currys store located in Leeds city centre, it is a short walk away from Trinity…read moreLeeds, and The Town Hall at The Basilica. The store is surprisingly large for a city centre location, it's over two floors, but with escalators going up only if you're heading down you'll need to use the stairs or find the elevator. The store stocks a wide range of electronics from computers to printers, TV's to smart speakers, as well as accessories including ink, and laptop carrying cases. There is a small Apple section, although I much prefer John Lewis at the Victoria Quarter or the Apple Store inside Trinity for Apple products, as the selection is limited. Although they had the advertising in-store for the iPhone 15, the only model out to demo was the iPhone 14, they also seemed to only have the older MacBook Pro's compared to the latest generation - what's the deal with that? The location is great for those who are in the city centre but the problem with this is that the store doesn't have parking, and for a store that specialises in large electronic items from printers to laptops and TVs, that isn't practical, there is Q-Park St Johns Centre which is located a five-minute walk away, but again depending on what you're buying, this could be hard to carry around a busy city centre on foot. 4* - It's a huge store, which is rare for a city centre, being located closer to parking and ensuring they stock a range of the latest tech would be big improvements, otherwise they risk becoming more of an outlet.

On a whim I decided to nip by here to see if they had camera memory cards, as it's all too often…read morethat I take a whole bunch of photos and then have to go back and delete choice ones to continue snapping. I wasn't sure if they would have my size but went in and had a mini mooch before one of their staff members asked me if I needed any help. I told him about my scenario and sadly they didn't have the memory cards of my size, but that he could order one in if necessary. I asked him how much they'd be, as I'd forgotten how much the original one was, and he was pretty honest to say that it was fairly expensive to get one in. I said I'd have a think and get back to him, as it was only on the off-chance that I popped in. As I was leaving I noticed under the counter their hoards of mobile phones, including what I believe to be an iPhone 3GS, so I'll have to have a think on that one too since I've been lusting after one for far too long now!

Took my desktop to Apple Corner for a new power supply fitting. The turnaround was relatively quick…read moreas it was not a stock part and the price was modest. However, they did charge me £8 for air dusting the innards (which as it sounds is simply dusting the thing with a can of compressed air for a few seconds) even though I had done this myself mere weeks before and so know it was relatively clean and dust free. To be charged £8 for this, when it uses a fraction of a £3 can of compressed air is a little cheeky, so they only get three stars. However, to be fair they did repair the computer as asked and three months later it is functioning fine, so perhaps I'm being somewhat of a Victor Meldrew!

I couldn't help him and said in passing that I was looking for Maplin's, he promptly gave me directions and I was soon in this Aladdin's Cave of electrical components. Being slightly out of the city centre this electronics shop is vast compared to my other experiences of Maplin's. You can get loads of little bits from transistors, to hard drives and a cacophony of wires to larger goods such as disco lights. Everything is here to enable you to vamp up any gadget you may have lurking in the house. Despite the size the layout is well devised, staff are able to find things quickly and can offer what seems to be knowledgeable advice on what you need, although I am no expert.
