I have mixed feelings about PC World, particularly considering the number of support issues I’ve heard about, which is why I stick to my local supplier, Octagon Technology, for my PCs, because they give excellent support.

But if I’m looking for peripherals I’ll take a look around. So when I decided to move to new offices shortly (more about that in another post) I decided to buy a 17″ TFT flat-screen monitor. So while I was looking last night I came across a deal for one at only £99.99 at PC World. Original price £149.00. This deal was too good to miss so I ordered two, as I use dual monitors.

Being in a rush, and ordering at ten at night, I chose to collect from the local store the next morning, today. And since I was in town for the Lincoln Business Club meeting this morning at 7am I was able to be at PC World for 9am.

I honestly expected there to be a glitch when I turned up to collect them, but to my amazement the monitors were there at the collection point and I was in and out in no time time at all.

Not only that, you get any goods ordered at the Internet price and not the higher store price. If you’re close to a local store it’ll probably be worth your while ordering through the Internet and collecting.

All in all, a very satisfying experience and one I hope to repeat. Hope I won’t be chancing my luck. ;)

Although not my area of expertise I just thought anyone reading this blog with a Dell laptop may wish to check to see if their’s is affected by the recall.

Dell Battery Recall

Just look at that. I make a new post and the Nikon D80 post decides to remove itself like it should have done so when I tried to delete it two posts ago.

“All’s well that ends well.”, as they say - still going ahead with Wordpress though.
