Komplett have shut their UK shop, as well as those in Germany, France and Austria.
Never used them as Tek usually have what Im looking for, but a lot of people seemed to give them a good word and their prices always seemed competitive.
Tek - grab their customer base quick :)
Bugger, Ive always used Komplett and Ive never had anything but top notch support and kit from them.
So is it just the swedish one left now ?
I buy most of my PC stuff from them.
I used them also a fair amount of times, always top notch service, shame to see them shutdown, but i thought over the last couple of months their stock levels have diminished and the weekly bargains pages were blank, so its not surprising really. At least my swedish mates can still buy from them :P

I knew that, Ive been taking Swedish lessons, although (let me get this right).. jag pratar väldigt lite svenska?
I find myself saying varsagod a lot to people because it rolls off the tongue so beautifully. "Hej!" and "Tack!" Ive been using a lot as well to peoples bemusement.

Hurrah! At least I know my lessons are paying off. I just enjoy learning languages and recently befriended a Swedish lassie so shes teaching me some. Its a really fun language to speak, the pronunciation is fantastically tongue twisting at times and rather different to English so Im having a great time with it.

vikings ruled pretty much the entire north of England. Some place names still keep their old Nordic names as well. Loads round me for instance.
The Vikings ruled most of England, except for the South, at one point.

so they ruled the only part of england worth worrying about then ;)
Utter shame :( iv ordered from them a few times in the past they have always been brilliant!

yeah its a shame - my second rig was built out of parts 50% from them and 50% from tek years back. They were a good company.
Never ordered from them myself but they always looked good.
Gutted. Ive not been on their website for a while, but they were one of those companies I didnt expect to see struggle.

According to Komplett spokesman, its not because they are struggling. Its simply the fact there is to much competition in the UK etc markets.
There are plenty of other companies doing well in the UK market, i guess its down to Marketing, Pricing, Delivery etc.
Too much competition is essentially the same thing - margins are too low in the computer hardware sector unless you really get it bang on the money with your product and service.
