Not news ...

I don't have much need for C/PCW these days but when I wanted a new scanner a while ago, I found the one I fancied on-line from a number of suppliers for a similar price, including PCW, whose price was for on-line orders only.

As every other supplier was putting delivery charges on top, it was a no brainer to go to PCW where it was ready waiting for me. I did notice the considerably higher price marked up on the shelves, though. Had I walked in off the street and seen it, I would have turned right round and straight back out of the door!

I might repeat the on-line experience again in the fture but I will never again walk into a PCW store 'on spec'.

You mean like car manufacturers web sites:-)

I wanted a WD 4TB drive amazon had it for £85 but only if I had amazon prime otherwise it was an extra £10 or so. By luck I just searched for it and PCW had an offer £85 too, so I popped in as it's 10mins from where I work, couldnt; find it so asked a sales bloke who pointed me and said ask her, I did and she produced it from a shelf behind her, I got it and left faster than even amazon get to deliever things which in general I'm pretty pleased with.

I wonder what rank Amazon got in that Which survey of online retailers.

That has to be judged by how many millions of their customers return to their site time after time rather than relying on the views of Which? subscribers who are so representative of the common consumer that they rate the Cornish Sea Salt site in the top 5.

and at £10.75 a month I don't consider which? subscribers as 'wise' about much.

I wonder if there's a library I can join that provides online access to Which? reports. My local library doesn't.

Not all libraries require you to live in the local area.

Most libraries stock the print edition.
