Got an N810 last week Tuesday but it was a mission to get it.
Went to PCW Wolves last monday for me and asked if they either N800 or N810 in stock. They said no and checked local stores.. Junction 9 M6 had an N800 which was incomplete so they wouldn't sell it and stoke PCW had N810 which they would sell. Drove from wolves to stoke to pick it up only to find it was bolted to a display so they wouldn't sell it, claimed that they didn't tell anyone in wolves they would sell it as it was a display model and also it was an N800!!!! They checked at stoke to see local stocks and saw that PCW selly oak in brum and cov showed 1 each in stock and so did Currys in brum.
Went to currys in brum and yes they had 1 but no i couldn't have it for £80. They were willing to sell it for £320 and told me very snottily that pcw were ridiculous in selling it so cheaply so i quickly left. Went to selly oak where they couldn't find it but did try and transfer stock from currys brum but couldn't get through on the phone (PCW and Currys will very rarely answer calls), and then to Cov where they said with a smile "we've been looking for that for ages and if we find it the staff will have it".
I was extremeley pissed off at this point so on the Tuesday went back into PCW wolves and complained about being sent to Stoke. I requested that they transfer the one in stock at currys in brum. They said they couldn't get it sent over as it was discontinued stock so I said that I didn't want it sent over, just allocate the stock to wolves so it could be paid for there and then and then picked in Brum.
So..they did this and i paid for it in Wolves (£80)...went back to currys in brum and asked for the N810. The manager who i spoke to the day before and was a bit of a w*nker sent someone to get it for me and i handed over the receipt!!! The look on his face was priceless when he saw the price i paid and muttered something about cpw wolves uner his breath before handing it over.
I reckon it cost me an extra £30 in petrol but even at £110 all in it's an absolute bargain.
Result!!!!!
Anyone looking for one check Currys and Dixons as well as PCW as they are all part of the same group
