SOME IMPORTANT NOTES

Product availability

On some products, we offer the option to order an item in advance if it’s not in stock at the time, but we know that more stock is on its way and we’ll let you know the date we expect delivery to be available on the site. If you purchase two or more products at a time, they may have different availabilities and methods of delivery, in which case you may receive your items individually as soon as they become available.

Products delivered directly by the manufacturer

Products delivered directly by the manufacturer are subject to their own terms and conditions and delivery options / times may vary. On purchase you’ll be asked to select a preferred delivery day or the manufacturer will contact you to arrange a delivery date.

Delays

We do everything we can to ensure our delivery times are met but sometimes delays do occur during peak ordering periods or with deliveries to the Scottish Islands. We’ll let you know if we become aware of any unexpected delays.

VAT

Please be aware that we cannot offer VAT refunds to overseas customers ordering goods to be delivered to a UK address.

RECYCLING

When you purchase a large appliance or TV from Currys or PC World our Knowhow team will deliver it to your home and take away the packaging. If you want us to, we can also take away and recycle your old appliance for a small fee.

Alternatively, you can bring your old product into any Currys or PC World store and we’ll recycle it free of charge.

LARGE APPLIANCES AND TVS OVER 39" DELIVERED BY KNOWHOW

If you’re having your new product delivered, we just ask that you make sure your old appliance has been safely disconnected and that it’s in a fit state to be taken away before we arrive. If you’ve purchased a Knowhow installation service, we’ll disconnect your old product for you.

Built-in / integrated appliances should be disconnected and completely removed from their housing and refrigeration appliances should be fully defrosted and free of water. Please note; gas and dual fuel cookers should be disconnected by Gas Safe Register approved engineers.

We certainly don’t want to damage your property during collection, so in some circumstances we are not able to disconnect old products. Below are some examples of why we wouldn’t be able to disconnect:

• Your old appliance is hard wired into a fused spur
• Your old appliance has tap connections that have seized up
• Your old appliance cannot be moved
  

ALL OTHER PRODUCTS

Before bringing your unwanted electrical products into store for recycling, please make sure the product is in a presentable condition (i.e. refrigeration products fully defrosted). If your product (PC, laptop, mobile phone, tablet etc...) has any personal data stored on it, please ensure that the data has been deleted prior to us receiving it. Alternatively, this can be done with our Data Wipe service for computers.

MORE ABOUT OUR RECYCLING SERVICE

Since July 2007 the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulations have applied. The regulations were introduced to reduce the amount of untreated waste electrical and electronic equipment (WEEE) going to landfill and to ensure that equipment collected separately is dealt with properly.

All new electrical and electronic equipment we sell at Currys and PC World stores can be recycled. You can tell because our products include a ‘crossed out wheeled bin symbol’ like this:

Even if your old product doesn’t have the ‘crossed out wheeled bin’ symbol, the good news is we’ll gladly accept and recycle your old electrical and electronic equipment to the best of our ability.

THE BENEFITS OF RECYCLING

Recycling unwanted electrical products is better for the environment. Lead and other toxins contained in electrical goods can cause soil and water contamination. This can have a very harmful effect on the natural habitat, wildlife and also human health. When situated near populated areas these toxins can cause problems to communities as their water and soil is polluted.

Many of the electrical items that we throw away can be repaired or recycled. Recycling items helps save natural resources and also reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending waste electrical goods to landfill.

A BIT ABOUT BATTERIES

Knowhow is a trading name of DSG Retail Limited, which is responsible for the collection, treatment and recycling of waste batteries. You’ll find recycling bins for batteries in all Currys and PC World stores, so that anyone and everyone can deposit their used portable batteries. Batteries we accept:

• AA or AAA batteries
• Batteries used in mobile phones or laptops
• Batteries fixed to the motherboard of a personal computer or laptop
• Batteries found in wristwatches

Sorry, we don’t accept:

• Industrial batteries
• Automotive batteries
