If you have Comet gift cards/vouchers, for safety use then in store (not online) asap tomorrow morning for goods you can buy there and then. If it its going into administration then they could become worthless.

There's a fair comment on the Register this morning -Even before the rise in internet sales, Comet was moving from a shed where you could buy stuff cheaper than elsewhere to a place where spotty know-nothings tried to flog you an extended warranty.

Walmart is killing all the local shops around here. Everyone shops there because their prices are so low, two local grocers go out of business and presto, Walmart prices rise.
Folks don't get that it is in our long term best interests to spread the business around.

The downfall of Comet Is their own fault. they relied on retail when the world around them was changing and they failed to fore-see that and keep up. By not selling on line, they were doomed. They should have had the fore-sight to see Internet sales being the main source these days Instead of relying on people going to retail stores.

Did Comet not sell online? My recollection is that they did.

I think they did, I certainly used their online site over the years to check stock, reserve goods and then picked them up myself to cut out delivery charges.
They were a better company to deal with than curry's, and cheaper.
