Overpriced and inadequate cover essentially. I could be wrong but I'm sure the OFT were investigating them at one point.

LOL - too true. A bit like the time I was in the queue and some bloke in front of me bought a £7.99 gamepad. The girl on the counter asked if he wanted the extended 3-year warranty on it......... at £12. :S

Well if it's the same cover that they use at Curry's then it's actualy quite good.
They will only replace the item if they cannot repair it (due to it being fucked or not being able to source parts) after 21 days from the initial pick up.
You should also be covered for accidental damage anywhere in the world and any problem that may arise on the laptop. To say that all that for £6-7 a month is overpriced is bs.
If you need to make a claim that they cannot sort out over the phone it should be picked up from you within 2 working days, fixed and sent back to you within a 21 day period.
Put it this way, you drop your laptop and the screen smashes, it will cost about £500-800 to get it fixed with new genuine parts and fitted proffesionaly. So I can't see how anyone can justify calling £7 (depends on what item etc and obv some people pay for 3 or 5 years upfront) a month over priced.
Ok they may not give you a loan laptop (who does?) or suck your dick but it is by no means as bad as people who don't know what they're talking about make out.
Sure you get some extreme f**k ups and there the one's you hear about, you also get very pleased people from the extendend cover

Haha yes I do.
I'm not sticking up the cover just because I work there. If it was crap I'd keep my mouth shut.
But from what I've seen and heard, in most cases they have been offered a good service.
Don't get me wrong, I'm sure there are bad cases, that's unavoidable but people are too quick to slate off something that perhaps they think they know about.
Also on most items <£100 you have instant replacement. So say you buy a microwave for £50, take the extended cover for £19.99, that means if that microwave breaks in the 3 year period, you bring it in and Currys give you a new one; an unlimited amount of times too!

That was the PC world in Dundee. I read the story and the bloke had asked the PC World repair center if it would be a brand new hard disk. They said yes it would be, they don't use second hand parts.
Just shows you how good the company really is..........
