What's the sitch if they go under if you're paying them back over 2 years?

 

Depends on who you're paying back. A lot of companies use 3rd party finance businesses for those sort of transactions. If not then someone will buy the debt from Comet. None of the finance related debtors will get off with what they owe.

The sale, which began at 9am, is only available in its 240 stores, with customers unable to buy products online.

 

The electrical retailer said gift vouchers will be accepted on sale items, following the temporary suspension of the tokens over the weekend.

 

But it warned customers it will not be offering refunds, and any items ordered before the company went into administrations that have not been paid for will not be delivered.

 

Comet's administrators, Deloitte, are in the process of winding down the business following its collapse on Friday, which leaves 6,600 jobs hanging in the balance.

Other things at play with comet such as online, supermarkets etc but as an interested observer this is another company throwing millions away on shit advertising.

 

Too many clueless 30 somethings getting their hands on accounts and producing creative that screams "fuck the company, isnt the creative guy clever".

 

Branding is all well and good in moderation and works spectacularly for some, but the majority of retail should concentrate on advertising great offers to drive footfall.

 

I would be right in guessing that most on here probably have no recollection of Comets last big TV campaign (5 or 6 weeks ago), yet you could probably all recite the main ingredients of a DFS commercial that hasnt really changed in 20 years.

Being told it's 10% off and the bargain hunters are complaining that thousands of livlihoods down the drain hasn't benefitted them with bigger savings on day 1.

 

10% discount is shit for a liquidisation sale.

 

Dixons however are offering 3000 of the comet staff Xmas jobs. Not great but bit of a safety net and some will prove their worth and get kept on.

10% off your average liquidiser isn't the best like.

What goes around comes around. Comet and their out of town ilk fucked over the high street independents, and now the internet retailers are fucking them over. It's all part of the rich tapestry of life. Sad for the staff, but ultimately inevitable. Hopefully this will be the start of some of the souless and car-dependent retail 'parks' that this phase of commerce led to, being put to better use.
