Has anybody used them?

I'm thinking of buying an XBOX 360 4GB from them. After using a coupon I managed to rustle the price down to £121.46 which I think is pretty good.

They deliver quick, I get everything I order from them either the next day or two days later.

They had a store at my local shopping centre but it closed within a year. They seem reliable though.

Zavvi have good deals and great service from my experience with them. Like woolworths their physical stores went bankrupt (Virgin Megastores changed their name to Zavvi deliberately so they wouldn't damage the Virgin brand since they knew it was going down), and then the name continued online trading but under seperate management.

I'm pretty sure they didn't just change the name. I believe it was a management buy out and then subsequently went bankrupt.

Anyway, I ordered several items and all have come the next day as far as I can remember.

I am not sure what their online store is like, however when they were a shop (they took over Virgin Media Stores didn't they?) they were very good!

Surely the gift cards could still be used online?

Surely the gift cards could still be used online?Hmm well Zavvi.com has nothing to do with the previous Zavvi company. Zavvi took over from Virgin Megastores, a few years later the whole company went bust and they ceased trading in-store and online. A few months later they sold the Zavvi.com domain name and it was bought by a new group called "The Hut Company". It's therefore a totally seperate company, just running under the same name. However they are both trust-worthy and well worth using.
