I was looking to buy a small appliance couple of months a go and looked in both comet and currys. The same item was £90.00 more in comet than currys which was right next door.

Little wonder they are in trouble

Crap service anyway. They were called comet cos they only came round every 64 years (to mend their crap products).

Currys and pc world are still owned by the DSG group! Dixons still trade but only on line!

Comet has been losing money for a while now, the past few years their like for like sales have been decreasing!

Feel sorry for the 6,900 staff that are going to lose their jobs just before Christmas

I think they will honor the sale cos it took place prior to the administration and they have to honor agreements and contracts. So your wet clothes will be dry.

Comet are saying that

"if goods are in stock you will get them"

If they are not, then unless you paid by credit card your not getting anything, as you become an unsecured creditor.

Better be up early if you paid for anything and be waiting for the doors to open, no drier ? then take something else you need instead or lose your money.

Firstly any gift cards purchased before close of business today will be honoured,secondly there are in administration from 03/11/12 and any home deliveries will be honoured and any that will not be,the customers have already been contacted. How do I know I'm one of the so called shite sales managers that have worked for them for 13 years.

Many years ago, I was an independant retailer, selling and repairing television and audio equipment.

Because of the likes of Currys, Rumbelows, Fona, Comet and the likes flogging their cheap imported shite, I was unable to compete and was forced to cease trading.

Now because of the supermarkets selling their discounted stuff, Comet cannot compete .........

Sorry for all those who will most likely lose their jobs and for the customers who've ordered stuff that they will probably not receive but I ain't got any sympathy for Comet, or any of the others who may fail in the future, because they had no sympathy for me, or the 1000's of other independent retailers who went out of business because of them back in the mid 80's.

Comet are owned by OpCapita - they are the outfit that managed to take mfi into administration - they claim to be turn around specialists!!
