I'm afraid I'm going to have to follow the rating trend on this one! I've been to this store numerous times over the last 2 years or so and I've never been able to actually get what I'm looking for. I went in the other day to get some compressed air to clean the inside of my computer (pretty basic I would have thought) and was fed the ubiquitous line: "we usually do but we're out of stock". The problem with this place is that they never seem to be in-stock! Seems good if you are looking for an expensive copy of MS Word etc or for a new mouse, but other than that, save petrol and order from someone else online. This is not a "computer superstore".

Their website is STILL "coming soon..."

Called looking for a PC that is common in their stores in the UK -- and seems to have been for 2 months. I was told its not yet available in Ireland, looks like a significant delay before the most recent equipment gets to the Irish stores -- Either buy it in the North or online instead.

PCWorld are hell to deal with. Last year I bought some discounted items and returned home to find that I had been charged the full price. Some of the staff had difficulty with English. Contacting them is a joke too - you just end up in a loop of voice - overs and end up getting cut off. The website ( .ie ) has been 'coming soon' for a few years now - they obviously just wanted to cyber - squat but don't care enough to set up a site. Even the links to basic information don't activate on it.

I wouldn't bother shopping there again: there are too many euro - zone retailers online who deliver next day at far cheaper prices. PCWorld, I'm sad to say, is yet another example of a British company providing third - rate service in Ireland. Should be interesting to see how they cope with the recession. My guess is, they'll be gone in a few years.

I was here a few weeks ago looking for a steering wheel for my Play Station. It was a Saturday afternoon, and the place was busy, so maybe my experience isn't typical. It took me about 15 minutes to even talk to a salesman, who couldn't find me a steering wheel despite the fact that they had some on display.

I noticed large banners around the store advertising the 'online shopping' at pcworld.ie but when I went to the site I was informed that it is 'currently under construction.

I doubt I'll ever come back.
