Harvey Norman

Excellent service, for which you pay, they are employing Australians. Better than buying online, you see what you get and have the satisfaction of knowing you are employing a local and keeping jobs here and the economy going. Very helpful and managed to get exactly what I wanted. Shop locally and keep locals employed which is important for the economy.

Grabbed myself a PS3 from here a little while ago, when it was on special. Which is the only time that I buy anything from any Harvey Norman.
What I like about the place is the service. But I find that you’re paying for it when you buy stuff here. That’s why they bitch and moan about online shopping. You’ll get exactly the same thing and pay less than half the cost in many situations. I haven’t ever bought furniture at Hardly Normal’s, just because if I’m paying that much, it’ll be from a premium store, not this place, or any of the others.
I do feel a bit sorry for those that have to buy their computers here. Seriously, go to MSY, buy the parts, and learn to do it yourself. You’ll end up with a new skill, a computer that costs literally half the price (or less), and everyone will tell you you’re awesome. Which is what I can’t tell this place.

I put as many categories as this site lets me but there are heaps more than just what is listed. They also sell all electrical and appliances, big and small, anything from a blender to a pidgeon pair fridge/​freezer.
Basically most Harvey Norman stores are set up the same. Huge entrances to the furniture department. Usually entrances are in the middle of lounges, if you go one way you will ge tmore furniture then curve round to televisions and the likes, go the other way and get beds and bedding. I have managed to grab some fantastic bargains on some great pillows here actually. Heaps better quality than at department stores and they lasted heaps longer.
The Electrical and Computers are usually in a separate section at the rear or one side of the store, with electrical left of the spearate entrance to this area and computer, mobiles phones, camera’s, PC software, etc to the right of the registers. I have never purchased nay major electrical items from this store but have bought some really good computer equipment here. Including a fantastic Acer laptop. It was already out so cheap and had a cah back offer making it even cheaper in the end.
I have always received good service here and been given some great advice from people who obviously know their products. Getting the service is the hardest part — they are usually really busy, more so in computers and electrical departments, and it may take a little wait before someone is available to help you. However once you have someone their service is usually very good, I have never had an issue with a staff member at any Harvey Norman store.
