Carphone warehouse Tallaght Dublin.

Went to the store in Tallaght in Dublin. Had serious issues with Eir and their customer services and network services. When I went into the staff in carphone warehouse they couldn't have been more helpful. The girl was really friendly and polite and extremely helpful and understanding. They talked me through the best offers on other networks and helped me make up my mind about which network I wanted to change over to. They did everything for me. The only thing I had to do was wait. She made sure all the settings on the phone were correct and working before we left the store. I wish Eir had the staff like this because they lost a customer due to their complete and utter lack of professionalism and help and knowledge of network issues.

Would give no star if possible

Would give no star if possible. Purchased an iPhone in Mullingar and still in warranty. Phone started overheating and switching off with a high pitched sound, which even scared the dog. I brought it back to shop who returned it to Apple. As far as I’m concerned this phone was faulty and a possible fire hazard. Got a call to say a replacement phone was ready to collect. They gave me a RECONDITIONED phone. I’m disgusted at getting someone else’s problem. I’m going further with this. If this was a TV would I have got a reconditioned TV to replace a faulty purchase?? I think not. Consumer law doesn’t seem to apply to phone companies.

Although I've always purchased in Carphone Warehouse this experience was by far the best. After buying a new iPhone we had issues with the network trying to activate the new number. All I can say is the staff went above and beyond (where our network failed) to resolve the issue. I was at my wits end dealing with the customer care number and live chat of our network who only seemed to pass the problem each time to someone else. However after returning to Carphone Warehouse they sorted everything for us. Couldn't recommend them enough

My tragedy and how i overcame it.

My tragedy.
Last friday the inevitable occurred when my trusted 5 year old samsung finally died of old age. Of course just at the wrong time. I visited my favourite carphonewarehouse here in Ashbourne, county meath and the assistants all gathered round and tried their best to resussitate my beloved companion of the last 5 years. But all to no avail. It was necessary to lay her to rest but the assistant immediately popped up one of the follow on models at a reduced price and i was immediately over my loss. And this only took 30 minutes before i was walking out of the shop with a big grin on my face and a new love.

Goods didn't arrive and you can hardly ever speak on the phone

Goods didn't arrive
Phone contact is almost impossible
Vote with your feet - stay away from them.

I placed an order with Carphone Warehouse. It was promised on a given date but nothing arrived. I telephoned and I was told that there was some difficulty and it would be received the next day. NOTHING.
Telephone calls to Customer Service have an average wait time of 30 minutes then the phone gets put onto a review service.

I still don't have my order (Transaction reference 421246598) nor any explanation.

My recommendation is to steer well clear of them This is not the first time they have dropped me in the poo.

Carphone Warehouse look elsewhere for better deals

You know the old saying if it sounds too good to be true it must be the Carphone Warehouse. Miss one payment or be late and they list you on the credit bureau without a mention. This abuse of customers must stop. They should like other good companies send out a notice ...at least. BUT-no they don't- straight to the collection agency.
Besides that you can always get a better deal dealing direct with the major players as the network they hawk is extremely poor .

Sutton Surrey staff attitude

I visited Carphonewarehouse to take back a charger lead that had broken, the lady was quite nasty, she was not English and asked what is wrong with the lead it was broken where is my receipt why have I not got my receipt I throw them away, after a fair amount of being quite nasty she gave me a replacement with a receipt which again broke, I went to the Rosehill Surrey branch where the man said he knew who this lady was the Manageress, I said I don't care who she was not talking to me that like.

Look forward to an apology on her behalf.

Nasty little madam.

I went to the Sutton branch today to enquire if I bought a new Samsung A20e on line from Virgin would they help me set it up as Virgin will not (already complained about Virgin), the man (not English said would charge £15). When I get the phone I will go to the Rosehill Surrey branch, these staff members are unbelievably rude at times.
