      Slagging the brand? The brand was already in the gutter thanks to the previous management and now the administrators haven't helped with their false promises and fiascos like with gift cards and "guarantees".

      Now that is it closing does anyone care? I think not (including the staff who are unfortunately about to lose their jobs).

      For me, Dick Smith was once a prized brand where you could buy electronic components. Times change and things have moved on, but DSE never found a new niche. It was just another Harvey Norman style store without anything to differentiate it.

      Part of the reason why people are 'revelling' in DSE's demise is the ridiculous buy out and sell off by Anchorage. A bunch of MBAs moved in, waved a magic wand and pumped up the value of the business by FIVE times on paper within 18 months. One would think doing this is obviously impossible, but many people fell for it. The fact that their dirty work is coming crashing down is rather satisfying to people who work for a living, rather than shift numbers around to create false 'value'.

        Since that date I have requested Mods un-associate myself. To their credit they did, however I'm once again associated for no reason.

        Ultimately the personal greed of no more than 10 individuals at head office over the last few years has put DS in this situation, whereby everyone hates DS and everyone takes this hatred out on employees and former staff, and has now lead to the thousands of other hard working employees losing their jobs.

        • heal on 26/02/2016 - 14:10
          +2

          Fair enough comment, and I personally have never had any issues with staff. However there is plenty around here who have had issues with DSE staff and the chain has got a reputation because of it. Also the bad press over staff taking all the deals when DSE had 80% off some products last year also doesn't help. I think 20% off is too little considering the stores are closing down. Unfortunately the media are sprucing this sale as having bargain basement prices when it's clearly not the case.

          everyone takes this hatred out on employees and former staff, and has now lead to the thousands of other hard working employees losing their jobs.

          It's a bit rich to claim that hatred taken out on employees and former staff lead to job losses. I'd be putting the blame on Anchorage Capital and the directors.

      "Expect Gerry Harvey & co to start jacking their prices once DS are gone"

      DSE hasn’t been competitive for some time. I don’t think their demise will have any lasting effects on the retail electronics sector because brick and mortar stores competitions aren’t each other, its the online retailers.

        Tab S2 8inch LTE black. $519.20 each, plus $29.95 shipping.
        I was about to buy them for $648 at JB or HN (normal price), although for some reason the black one is $728 at JB.

        My company paid for it. I'm confident they will deliver. We are buying from the receivers now, and they will continue to remain a company after DSE is shut down. Any warranty claims will be covered by Samsung directly. Our credit card company will also provide protection if the items are not received.

      • puffinfresh on 29/02/2016 - 21:12

        Both tablets have now shipped. Assuming they've shipped the right thing… which hasn't always been the case with Dick Smith in the past.

    Also no real bargains. Wait a few more days (or weeks).

  • Benoffie on 26/02/2016 - 14:40

    Looking at the fine print on the "closing down sale" ad on the front page. "We will refund your item if we cant quickly repair or replace it. Even if the business closes or is sold"

    Sounds like they'll have some form of future contact number for follow ups, faults etc. Would obviously be outsourced to someone.

    • Cluster on 26/02/2016 - 14:47

      The receiver would have to set aside funds for future repair/replacement/returns. Obviously the receiver is going to set aside as little money as possible, otherwise they're taking money from creditors and their own fees.

      Is there going to be anyone to contact in 11 months time to claim warranty on a $800 DSE TV?

      • ss207k on 26/02/2016 - 15:21

        I've got a DSE TV about 4 years ago.

        Great TV, picture is OK but amazing sound design. Farther away you are from middle of TV (either side - left/right) and farther to the back, you can start hearing it louder. But if you sit right in front of it you can't hear it as much. Surely a feature they forgot to advertise.

    • KentT on 26/02/2016 - 14:48

      This is just speculation, but it would make sense if they got The Warranty Group covering it.

      That's who handles Dick Smith extended warranties, and because it's technically insurance (not warranty) it'll be heavily regulated.

      If that's the case, you're pretty safe.

      • jayzee on 26/02/2016 - 14:56

        On a printed statement in DickSmith store, it says extended warranty purchased between 1/10/2015 and 1/2/2016 is under discussion with related parties. Extended warranty purchased now is guaranteed by The Warranty Group.

        Seems it may not be safe for the extended warranty purchased during that period?

        • KentT on 26/02/2016 - 15:40

          That sounds like Dick Smith didn't pay The Warranty Group during that time and just pocketed the extended warranty payments.

          So yes, that would be a problem.

    20-40% off for a store that in receivership is indicative of the greedy owners.

    should be like 80% off, let's be honest. They've dicked customers for years, the least they could do make up for it as their last hurrah.

    • omgitzrick on 26/02/2016 - 15:27
      +6

      Why would they start with 80% off on day 1 when they know a lot of people will pick certain things up at 20-30% off? It'll ramp up over the 8 weeks and you gotta kinda decide if you want a slight discount or if you wanna risk missing out. They still need to recover as much money as possible.
