Compustore in Galway...

Sherifu

Compustre is perhaps the biggest joke in Galway.
If I ever want to feel good about spending money on computers
or parts I browse in compustore to see what I could have paid.
They seem to have a magic markup price that only applies to them.
Workin in it industry can open your eyes to extortion in Irish stores.....
Even the foreigners I work with glance towards heaven if compustore is mentioned.

Retarded............ :eek:

Thats what the sign said, which was kinda true since they had to do a stock take when the shut down the two branches. The real reason was that the two stores were losing money and been subsidised by Dublin and Galway branches.

How do I knwo this? I used to work for them until they started f88king me about, pity though cos at a branch level they can be a great company to work for.

which branch did u work for cos i agree, the floor staff can only do so much. the idiots in charge r the problem

Four Compustore shops in Dublin and Galway have ceased trading, it has been confirmed.

The shops, which specialised in computer and software products, failed to open for trading on Saturday.

A statement from the company's registered office says that notice of a creditors' meeting will be advertised in the press tomorrow.



RTÉ News understands that up to 60 jobs may have been lost in the closures.

Compustore outlets in other parts of the country are not affected and remain in business.

Good.

Just revisited this thread again and seen the posts over the past two months. The principal problem I have...ugh, had...with Compustore in Galway (never been to any of their other branches) is their unbelievable prices, ripping-off those who don't know anything about technology. They are not rip-off merchants in the same league as Currys, Dixons, PC World, whatever, Compustore in Galway was far over any of these, Premiership rip-off merchants compared to the rest, languishing in the Scottish Second Division by comparison. Thanks to whomever patiently explained the difference between online retailers and their bricks-and-morter competitors...I think we all understand why the online retailers are cheaper. But nothing, barring an immoral contempt for customers, can justify the amazing prices that Compustore in Galway charged. I am glad to see they have gone out of business...Currys was so much cheaper in comparison, the people of Galway will not lose out in any way.

In Cork there is fuggall competition anymore ....and the prices in Compustore reflect that .... they are ripping people off as much as they can
