Harvey Norman

Suck big time it comes to warranty repairs. Forget ever getting a faulty item replaced. They keep denying.

I’ve been in a few Harvey Norman’s, a lot of the time you get friendly staff and good prices. This oonnnnnneeee… eeeehhhh it’s a different story.
When you go in you get acknowledged, which is good, but they kinda get annoying with it. You step in and one goes ‘can I help you?’ And you say ‘no thank you, just looking’ *take two steps* can I help you?’ ‘No thanks’ *take two more steps* ‘can I help you?’ ‘Uh no’ *take another step* ‘can I help yo-​’ *you punch sales guy in the face* ‘I SAID NO!’. Ok maybe not like that but they could stand to back off a little as pestering the customer does kinda ruin the experience.
I have bought my camera from here, but the guy I got served by was a bit full on. I just asked if there was a lay by service but instead they have a finance service that needs to be $ 500 min so he kept loading up all this unnecessary stuff that I didn’t need but kept yammering on like I needed it. Since I was a student at the time, all this stuff he was adding on (which added up to more then $ 500) was becoming a but out of my price range so I cancelled the whole thing, went away, came back, asked another sales person to put it on hold then payed for just the camera 2 weeks later.
So long story short, Harvey Norman is good but maybe look at a different branch then Nunawading.

I bought myself a laptop from here a year or two ago. They’re really quite expensive for most things, most of the time. Especially if you do a bit of online shopping, Harvey Norman (my husband calls them Hardly Normal) is way overpriced.
That said, they do occasionally have good deals, which is why I ended up with a laptop. It was the right price, I needed one for work, and I didn’t have time to wait for it to arrive from the US if I’d bought it online.
The service was very good. I had a bit of an idea of what I needed (being married to a computer geek is sometimes useful), so it was all pretty quick to go in and get what I wanted.

I’ve recently been doing a bit of shopping. I’ve been after a few things for the house, and a few toys too. So recently, I headed into Harvey Norman at Nunawading.
This place is a decently large store. I’m really not a massive fan of Harvey Norman for electronic stuff, but occasionally you get a good deal. Usually not, particularly with computer stuff. The laptops and netbooks usually aren’t too badly priced.
The good thing about this place is the service. The staff tend to know their stuff, they’re always offering to help customers, and usually you don’t have to wait long before being served. I’ve brought stuff back for warranty fix ups, too, and I’ve been relatively pleased with the service I have received under those circumstances. I’ll probably go back.
