I don't see why they persist with the Dixons name - decades of poor service and carp products, haven't left it worth anything to anyone.
Surely they can't compete with other online retailers with better reputations - if they really wanted to try, a new name would have been a much better ideaComment

Airports! That's the only place you see them now, probably because tourists heading home have never heard how bad they are!Originally posted by lje View PostExtra strange as Dixons don't have any physical stores anymore so you couldn't go there even if you wanted to...Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.

Actually a few years ago I bought a camera from currys and got them to price match the best price I found online. The shop couldn't quite get to the price but they had it in stock which the online chaps did not (I didn't tell the Currys bloke that) and when you add the delivery charge the two were not too different.Originally posted by Muttley08 View PostI don't see why they persist with the Dixons name - decades of poor service and carp products, haven't left it worth anything to anyone.

Now is a good time to haggle with them as they will be trying to hit their targets and will let things go a little cheaper if you push them. I tried it at Jessops first and they wouldn't even consider it.Rule Number 1 - Assuming that you have a valid contract in place always try to get your poo onto your timesheet, provided that the timesheet is valid for your current contract and covers the period of time that you are billing for.
