Another one..... Dreams gone into administration
News just breaking, Dreams gone into administration. No real surprise here, they were constantly having those 30-60% "discount" sales.
|
Anywhere that permanently has a sale on concerns me. It's cheap stuff being made to look like a bargain.
I'd prefer to buy from somewhere that just claims to be cheap rather than hving fake sales (Dreams were on Watchdog a few times for that) |
Even with the sales on they weren't cheap. I went there to look for a Mattress for my new bed, £300! and it wasn't memory foam or anything like that. Went to Ikea and got one just as firm for £100.
Companies like this will always go under when they're charging as much as they do, there'll always be someone doing the same cheap with just as much quality. |
ScS has taken them over.

Dreams go into administration every year don't they - even I know they've been in administration at least 3 times!

You must be dreaming

If a company 'deserved' to go bump, its this lot.
I mean contsantly having a sale every week. Adverts saying "hurry: Sale ends soon" only for it to still be on a month later. ASA should ream their arses for it. But they never do :rolleyes: Sod the sale and just state the price; nobody belives in 60% double discounts anymore. We all know its over-inflated retail prices made excessively high just so that they can advertise such huge discounts. |
Im not surprised!!!!! the customer service is utter sh1te!, we had so much trouble with them a couple of years ago..... the name Nightmare would be more fitting!
|
Well they still got big somehow. I think it's the lack of consumer credit available; all these firms relied on it. So no great worry that the never never model is dying on its butt.
|
Must been all those adverts, how much would that cost!

management asleep on the job i suspect

Good riddance, robbing b'stards :mad:
Infamous for selling the same mattresses everyone else sells, but naming them differently and quadrupling the price. Ours is a Sleepeezee Backcare Ultimate 2000 which we paid £385 delivered inc 5yr g/tee. In Dreams it was called the Sleepeezee Cairo and was £1150, plus £35 delivery, plus £40 for extended g/tee. Same bed, different name, confirmed by an independent specialist with a phone call to his Sleepeezee rep. |

I was looking for a new bed a couple weeks back and decided to have a quick look at dreams,must admit they did seem a bit pricey compared to other companies i looked at.
Anyhow i got a bed from a small company not too far from me,free delivery and take away your old bed for £15.00. When the delivery guys knocked on door to deliver bed,they asked if i wanted the bed putting together,i was going to do it myself but thought it would save me the bother of doing it,and i gave the guy a ten quid to buy a couple of beers or whatever.. |
