i also look at gumtree, that's private sellers

depends if you want brand new or not really.

Dont go to Argos they are very expensive for white goods. We got our fridge/freezer from Curry's £200 Hotpoint, it was on sale though. Try Comet they are good or Factory Shack.

Co-op also good. Basement of town centre store, or the Hillsbro one too.

Hi, I bought my carpets from carpet right, lovely quality and good price. However, fitters! One of em had been with company for short while and was left to fend for himself. After about 6 months there were ridges in carpet because it hadn't been stretched properly at fitting. They also claimed that I hadn't told the shop that one of the carpets was for stairs and landing. They must get paid extra for this fitting because they had a right ol groan.

We're in this position as well. Our mates dad bought from - believe it or not - Boots.

Apparently he shopped around and looked at what he liked. Cross checked with boots to see if they had the product and bought. They delivered within a few days and the best bit, he got points on his boots card :hihi:
