If you are looking to purchase TV's, washing machines, gas appliances or even iPods, you might want…read moreto visit Apollo 2000 situated near the West Bromwich Albion Football Ground. The store itself is pretty easy to find and there is parking onsite. However you might have to end up parking on the side street if there are not any spaces in the car park. The TV's on sale are pretty impressive to say the least and not surprisingly they were quite expensive. Apollo 2000 also sell laptops and to be honest they are well priced. If you are within a 25 mile radius, you can get same day delivery. Staff are top class and they will answer any questions you ask. Definitely worth a visit if you are thinking of buying gas and electrical products.

I love music and like most people that share my interest they have to have the latest sound…read moreequipment. I have Technics 1210's and needed an amp. I bought a Cambridge Audio TOPAZ for just under 80 quid, an absolute bargain. I also needed some really good speakers to get the highest definition of sound from my vinyl, CD's and MP3's. I got a pair of Wharfedale floor standers for under 100 quid. Money well spent and my sound system is pristine. The staff at Richer really know what they are talking about. They don't go for the high pressure sales technique, they just let you browse and they answer any questions that you may have. This branch is a flagship store and I wouldn't go anywhere else for my consumer electronic needs.

The staff have extensive experience of audio visual equipment and they not only advised me on equipment but also hand-drew a diagram on how to connect the system together and advised me that although I'd bought the second cheapest units, that buying gold plated connectors would upgrade the sound somewhat. Richer Sounds have a nice line in bookshelf speakers too, and starting at around £20 for a pair they are amazing value for money. Also look out for discontinued lines of equipment that are bought in bulk at cut-prices and the savings passed on to you. With home-cinema systems being an impressive and (somewhat) affordable installation in your dwelling, the shop also has this mode of entertainment covered well with a stack of gear to suit whatever space you might have available.

No one in-store will help as it's an online order, and when you call customer services all they say is you'll have to wait for a phone callback which never happens either. Been promised a managers call now to log a complaint probably 30+ times, and I'm still waiting for that as well as my replacement TV. Go elsewhere, even if you have to pay more!

I went to Currys for a specific PC and was told the one they showed me was it but it wasn't. I…read moredecided to take it though an earlier model. Paying i got attitude by the reception refusing to give me my change. two and a half years later i returned the PC after it failed a BIOS update leaving a black screen. Still under warranty by HP of 3 years but a simple fix. I was charged £$79.50 by mike when actually £75 said for transport to repair. Then told by another assistant it included diagnosis which was argued with by MIKE. I was told any replacement was extra but had to be agreed. A few days later i was told my motherboard was replaced with new at £230. I refused they put back my old one. In talks with repair i learned they always replace then repair what they take for future repairs. This was not as they state as they say they replace with new under insurance. I learned that Dixons carphone warehouse had bought out Currys 10 years ago after admitting an insurance scam training staff to sell insurance toi the insured. It made over £480 million and fine of 40 million. A TV I purchased had them halve the insurance cost after i refused it ut though then insured they refused to refund, repair or put in writing their refusal. It seemed the insurance scam was updated and rather than relie on breakdowns repair set to insuring them. I felt trapped so agreed to pay if they returned my property my motherboard with my rep[aired PC. They finally agreed but wanted paying up front. Stupidly i agreed but no motherboard and i refused delivery. I phoned repair they said they wanted another transport payment £75 to return it. Not accepting delivery they couldn't and i asked for proof the new motherboard was new and they refused. I complained and they said i misled them as both items by then were in store. They wanted the receipt for the extra £75 i didn't pay. It was under warranty they got the new motherboard and kept it offering no proof they didn't fix my motherboard then said they threw away my motherboard as useless then found it again stripped of every useful part. My repair was simple at no cost they made £79.50 =£230 then selling my old motherboard as new another £230 they admitted training staff to steal before and kept the staff. Safe in the assurance that to take them to court would cost too much as they continually rewrote the truth. They now say they will auction my PC or charge rent though promised if not as stated returning my motherboard i would get a refund, they then refused.

One of the larger Currys PC World locations I have noticed which are inside a city, with many of…read moretheir larger locations being Warehouse stores in retail parks outside of town. The location is pretty good, opposite the new Primark on High Street, and just off New Street and outside the Bullring. The selection here is pretty good, with a fast lift in-between the two floors, the upper floor has the better selection including laptops, printers and some cool blenders at some of the best prices I've seen on the high street. The store layout could have been improved to include more essential and common items PC World are known for downstairs, although I do respect that some larger and heavier items would need to be located on the downstairs level to avoid transportation upstairs etc. The staff seemed friendly enough, greeting me as I came into the store even just before the store closed which was a bonus, rather than being like "Ugh, can't you come back tomorrow? I want to go home" which is an attitude many other stores, including a few nearby, seemed to give off. Shame.

I have to say the prices are actually decent and you will find items cheaper here than what you would find at a retail store. The TV's certainly caught my attention and the plasmas on sale were impressive. From 22-inch TV's to 55-inch TV's, these were some of the televisions that were being sold. There are also home cinema packages you can purchase alongside a television. Camcorders, DVD Players and Recorders are also on sale here. If you do not visit the store you can also go online and see what the store is offering. Delivery is guaranteed and if you do have any problems then do give the store a call on the above number. Staff are friendly and they will help you out. Just ask for their assistance if you need it.

It's usually one of…read morethose things where you'll only ever go to major stores like, Comet, Currys because you think the smaller stores won't have what you want or they won't work as well. Well, that's not an issue with Electro Centre on Soho Road, Handsworth. It was actually recommended to me by a friend who lives in the area, as she suggested, the prices were decent and the electronic goods are in a great condition. I bought a 32inch TV from there for just over £200 and received a good service from the staff members at Electro Centre. They were really helpful to me and my boyfriend and gave us as much time to make our decision without being pushed into buying a particular item; as this is sometimes the case in much larger stores. The TV came with 12 months guarantee in case it gets damaged or there is an electronic fault. We've had our TV for a month or so now and it's in great working condition; at least we have the reassurance that if anything happens in the next 11-10 months we can hopefully get it repaired.

It is fair to say that these folks understand the sparky stuff and the appliances that use it. It is really close to where I live, meaning that is my first port of call when faced with a broken iron or a busted vacuum cleaner. The staff are always super-knowledgeable and helpful and they take the time to talk to you. I once spent a good 30 minutes in there being talked through the various features of irons, I ended up buying the first (and cheapest) one the guy had showed me but it seemed a shame to interrupt him mid-flow. The prices tend to be a bit higher than in the big chain stores or online, but the service makes up for it. There's also the perk of knowing that they'll help you out if anything goes wrong. They also offer home appliance repairs and services.

The Hotpoint stopped working on 2 January 2025. I called the store for advice and was told: "Google it. We sell washing machines, not repair them." I asked to speak to Tony (who delivered and installed the machine) for advice and was told he was unavailable. I called the holders of ten-year guarantee and was told parts were covered but they had to recommended by an approved engineer, callout charge £149. A local washing machine engineer came to inspect the machine and concluded the appliance was beyond repair and would need to be replaced. Effectively, it was scrap: remember it was 27 months old. I accept that Direct Discount prices are unbeatable and that, after several years of buying products, the occasional rogue appliance is likely. But the offhand response to the problem ("Google it") left me wondering about the after-sales service, such as it is.
