A recent article in The Daily Mail from consumer group Which? confirmed buying from the independents is the right way to buy!
The article reads:
Independent shops often sell electrical goods just as cheaply as large chain stores, according to the consumer group Which?
More than 1,200 independent retailers in the UK buy products through Europe’s largest electrical buying group, Euronics.
A Which? researcher compared the prices of a washing machine, kettle and TV at five Euronics retailers with the prices at BHS, Comet, Currys,
Debenhams, House of Fraser, John Lewis, PC World and Selfridges. The kettle was priced the same at all five Euronics stores and the four superstores that sold it. For the TV, all five Euronics stores and five chains offered almost the same price.
For the washing machine, all five Euronics retailers had the same price, but at two of the big chains it was £20 more expensive, while one had the same price, and one was selling it for £20.99 less.
Which? says: ‘Our snapshot research has suggested that it’s possible to find prices that are as low as electrical superstore deals, while also supporting local businesses.’
