    Nice, clean and lots of "stuff & things" to look at. Also, left alone by the sales staff to just browse which made a welcome change.

    I desperately needed a new washing machine (old one falling apart), I browsed online at various models and online store prices but prefer to go look at things in store and discuss options with a person. I went to Currys Clifton Moor York to investigate and compare different brands. A big shout out to Bradley who was so patient, helping me compare all the machines matching my requirements. I ended up going for a coffee in nearby supermarket to digest the information and made my decision. When I went back Bradley again helped me, repeated all the details and assisted me setting up delivery of my washing machine. I decided i needed delivery sooner than later so paid a little bit extra for 8th May 2023 (Bank Holiday). The evening before I received a text giving me the time slot and how to track my delivery. Today (8th May 2023), I checked the app and I was 2nd. At about 8.09 I got a phone call from the delivery crew giving me a 10-15 minute warning. They arrived as promised on time. Have to say the 2 men were absolutely brilliant. I was worried because my washing machine and tumble dryer are stacked. Nothing was a problem to them. They carefully lifted the dryer off the old washing machine. Took out the old machine, plumbed in the new and carefully stacked the dryer on top. All the packaging on the new machine was carefully wrapped and taken away. Everything was done with timing and precision between them. They explained they start at 7 but the lorry is liaded through the night so they just need to go to their first delivery stop. The store purchase experience, delivery men and whole Currys system is like a well oiled tried and tested system. My thanks to Bradley in Currys Clifton Moor York and the two delivery men this morning (sorry I didn't get their names but they were brilliant). I just hope the new washing machine matches Currys service.

    Great customer service from one of the sales staff. Bought a Samsung tablet for use with my in ear monitoring set up for the band and for remote control use of music production software in my recording studio. Highly recommended and will use again 👍🏾
