I had a terrible experience. It wasn't the store's fault. I bought a Bosch dryer, and the delivery…read moredriver left it broken. They left so fast I didn't have time to catch them. I called, and they told me to call the store. I don't understand why they would leave me with a broken dryer. They removed the protective seal, and I could see it was broken. I've had to go to the store several times to get a refund. They did give me one, but now I have to find another store to buy from. This is causing me a lot of unnecessary stress.

I was SCAMMED at Currys Store in Edinburgh…read more I visited the Currys store in Edinburgh to buy an iPhone on January 20th. When I swiped my card, a charge of 963.99 GBP was deducted from my account, but it remained pending for confirmation. The salesperson explained that this pending status occurs when the amount is pre-approved but will be refunded later, so he couldn't complete the purchase at that time. I was given a deadline until Thursday (25/1) for the refund to be processed, but it's been a week and I haven't received any reimbursement yet. I tried to contact them through the website, but I was informed that I should go to the physical store, which is impossible since I live in Malta. Additionally, there is no phone number or email available to contact the Edinburgh store directly. The Currys staff member at the physical store also told me that I could resolve the issue online, but it seems that this information is not true. In summary, I ended up buying the iPhone again with another card and essentially paid double the amount, as the money from the first transaction was not refunded. The manager's name is Eric and the salesperson's name is Craig.

But Gorgie Appliances is a really good local business and when I popped in to check it out, the owner really did know a lot about which appliance would suit your exact needs rather than just trying to offload the most expensive one on you, which you don't really get in the big stores. The store also orders in specific parts of appliances that you may need as well as fixing any problems you may have. Overall its a great local shop where you can get an appliance tailored to your personal needs.

Then the worth thing happened. I pulled my camera out (my nice, expensive digital slr) and found, at some point between using it last and that moment I'd smashed the LCD screen. Cue panic, lots of swearing and more panic. I rang the only camera shop I know in Edinburgh and they quoted me £115 to fix it. WHAT?! I came across this place and thought I'd take a chance. Now, I won't lie, they don't do cameras or camera repairs in there. They fix audio equipment and TVs at an extremely cheap rate. The reason this place gets 5* is because the guy in there took the time to tell me all the camera specialists in the area he knows (he's in the 'biz') and even drew me a map explaining how to get there. Considering he was getting no business from me, he really didn't need to do that, but he did. And if that's not a mini victory then I don't know what is.

I bought last year in October a washing machine and a factory-refurbished Dyson from this shop…read more Before buying these products I visited the shop at least three times, looking for options and also for ordering a spare part for a Dyson in the flat I was living in the past. In all occasions, the staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. The installation for a washing machine was included in the price that was matching main street competitors. I had to visit them three weeks after the original purchase date as the cashback offer for the washing machine I bought was requiring an extra document, and the staff were pleasantly helpful providing additional proof of purchase. There is a good variety for fridges, washing machines, cookers, microwaves, repairing options. Highly recommended!

Filled with bits and bobs from computer hard drives to obscure mobile phone accessories, it's a charmingly shifty store and the kind of place that becomes a godsend when your archaic old computer breaks down again.

I've already reviewed the fantastically bizarre Adeel's on Easter Road, so I was delighted to find…read moreanother one in Leith, although this one seems to be Easter Road's bigger, more mature brother. For a start, the whole shop looks more sleek, less like a jumble sale. It sells mainly electrical goods and computer hardware, so it would be a handy place to take your laptop if you were experiencing problems. They also do mobile phone repairs and all that unblocking and locking Sim nonsense that I have no idea about. As well as that, you can buy sims and phone covers, and they sell cool Blackberry covers which are sometimes hard to come by elsewhere, for good prices. Ideal if you need some technological help, which I usually do!

Drummond is a business dealing with sewing machines. But rather than just selling the manufacturing…read moredevices, it also doubles up as an old fashioned haberdashery, packed to the brim with balls of yarn and spools galore! Admittedly, they specialise in sewing and knitting machines (which are all displayed splendidly) but since I can't afford one of those bad boys I stuck to the supply section. They had pigeon holes stuffed with wool of all shapes, sizes and varieties (including pom pom wool to knit yourself a bubbly scarf!) Towards the back, they stock knitting and sewing guides, patterns, along with hundreds of good quality spools. Here you'll find everything you need to start your crafty business, including an ample supply of pin cushions, pins, glue, hem guidelines and Wondaweb for those of us who like to cheat *cough cough*. I would like to move away from using Wondaweb to begin stitching clothes up the right way, and Drummond is great for lending inspiration. The staff were exceptionally friendly and made me feel at ease, even though I baltantly didn't know where to start. With their attentive natures, I felt like I was being taken care of. I want to start making dresses out of old skirts and tops I find in charity shops, and in here I saw loads of accessories and shiny thread you could embellish a tired outfit with. It's great for experts as they have a ton of supplies, but equally useful for beginners like myself who don't know their Singer from their...well, to be honest I can't even think of another machine maker! But with the helpful staff and plethora of stock, Drummonds is a good place to start.

Disclaimer here is that I'm really rating this shop as a knitter, not as a sewist. I understand…read morethat their products and services relating to sewing machines are very good and people travel to them specifically for this. However, as a knitter... I go to this shop fairly often because it is right near work for me, but if it weren't, I would NEVER go. The staff hover and constantly ask if you need any help - I usually spend about 5 minutes in the shop and am asked if I need any help 2-3 times. It's very off-putting. I'm convinced they think I'm going to nick something. They're a little condescending as well - "put your debit card away safe now" when I finish paying, etc. (Possibly a natural reaction of the kindly granny staff to a person under the age of 40?) The wool selection is limited. It seems very much geared towards grannies knitting either big aran sweaters for their menfolk, or cute little baby things. There is a decent selection of affordable sport/DK baby wools, a few sock wools, cones for machine knitting, and huge 800 gram balls of Wendy aran, but no smaller aran balls. I was looking for some aran for children's mittens, but was told that "we don't have those dear, the smaller balls work out too expensive". Um. Well. Thank you, I guess? I'll just go to a different shop then... My advice: come here if you need your sewing machine repaired, if you're a knitter over the age of 65, or if you're planning to make large projects in neutral tones. Otherwise, go to MacAree Brothers.

Hex fixed the computer well enough for me to use an external keyboard the next day and expedited ordering of a replacement laptop keyboard so that I had it back working this afternoon. Very reasonably priced and wonderful service. I could not be more pleased and I highly recommend Hex for your computer repair needs.

The prices here are generally pretty competitive and you will be likely to struggle to find somewhere else that can match both its range of products and prices - I certainly haven't come across such a place. In addition you get very good customer service and the staff know what they are talking about. It's well worth a visit especially if you have any repairs that need doing. I'm no expert on computers, but this does seem to be a good shop.
