Finally a store that has it all, right from the Chromebooks to Gaming to Marshall speakers... All under one roof.
They have some great deals too... The staff was very helpful. This really helps build the customer wow.. kudos team.
What I did find on this visit there seem to be low on stock as quite a few shelves were empty.
Asked if they could find someone who wasn't so we could find help to buy a computer, however no one came over. Eventually found a member of staff however all four computers we were interested in were not in stock and one of the display computers was discontinued and no longer available to purchase.
Going into a shop requesting help (after 15 mins of walking around with staff walking past you), only to be passed on to someone else is beyond annoying. It’s obvious customer service is not on the priority list for staff here, so no wonder this company has been affected in recent years. Just to be clear, this is not staff selling on behalf of a particular brand either, no, this is regular staff. On their phones or having conversations and totally ignoring customers that want to make a purchases. Good luck to you with this approach, I’m off to one of your many competitors for a better all around experience and I’m sure they will gladly take my custom. On their website if you copy the model of a product it immediately does a price comparison. But what’s the point? It’s not cheaper than elsewhere (from my experience) nor a better experience, so what’s the point? This is from someone genuinely wanting to shop locally.
The first two 'experts' I approached really did not want to help. First one told me to go ask another person, and the second man really couldn't be bothered.
Asked him to explain stuff without too much jargon as not tech-savie, and he looked at me like I was stupid!
I then asked him specific information about the product I was after, and he just looked the stuff up online and recited what was there.
When I questioned his knowledge around the products he then said it wasn't his 'thing'!
I then asked if he couldn't help who could, and he just shrugged his shoulders....
Honestly a huge waste of my time!!
I asked the next person, who again told me he couldn't help, but did at least tell me who could help. But he was busy with another client, and we had to wait another 40 minutes until he was free (I do not have a problem with him taking his time with his client, but it does seem silly that there was only 1 expert on duty!)
And then there was limited stock, so I couldn't actually get the product I wanted!!
A very frustrating, and annoying visit to the store!
