Posted December 31, 200816 yr Looks like they need to find a buyer asap - Zavvi is my prefered retail store but when I went to one of the big branches yesterday it was on the verge of empty - The 'Album Chart' section was filled up with old 'dead' releases and the HUGE area of sale racks for CDs were near on empty :( Now they have announced they are not accepting any gift vouchers..... Following the failure of EUK on 27th November 2008, zavvi's directors sought to lodge all monies received in respect of zavvi Gift Cards / Gift Voucher sales in a trust account. All Gift card / Gift voucher sales direct by zavvi stores were terminated on 4th December 2008. It is hoped that customers who have purchased zavvi Gift Cards / Gift vouchers from zavvi stores from 27th November 2008 will receive a full refund in respect of these Gift cards / Gift vouchers. Unfortunately, it is not possible for Gift Cards / Gift Vouchers to be redeemed in stores. All customers with unredeemed zavvi Gift Cards / Gift Vouchers acquired (from any retailer) since 27th November 2008 should write to the Joint Administrators at the following address, quoting their Gift Card / Gift Voucher number (s) enclosing the original Gift card / Gift voucher (s) and quoting their full name and address for return correspondence: zavvi vouchers c/o The Joint Administrators zavvi Group Ernst & Young LLP 100 Barbirolli Square Manchester M2 3EY email: zavvi vouchers@uk.ey.com We recommend that customers keep a copy of their Gift Cards / Gift Vouchers for their records. Regrettably it will not be possible to refund Gift Cards / Gift Vouchers acquired prior to 27th November 2008. All customers with unredeemed Gift Cards / Gift Vouchers acquired prior to 27th November 2008 should write to the Joint Administrators at the above address, asking for their claim to be registered as an unsecured claim in the Administrations.

December 31, 200816 yr Never bothered using them anyways so Zavvi going under won't change my life Hopefully Play.com will establish a High St presence and sell items at non rip off prices Are you a member of 'Play.com's promortion team :lol: You mentioned them in every other post in the other Zavvi thread as well :lol: Very sad for Zavvi, But surely they Gift Vouchers should be able to be redeeemed because they've already been purchased. Zavvi are just making money out of peices of paper it seems :(
December 31, 200816 yr Author Very sad for Zavvi, But surely they Gift Vouchers should be able to be redeeemed because they've already been purchased. Zavvi are just making money out of peices of paper it seems :( If they were bought after the 27th of November then a refund will be given but any bought before that date and you have to try and claim your money back from the administrators!
December 31, 200816 yr Author Never bothered using them anyways so Zavvi going under won't change my life Hopefully Play.com will establish a High St presence and sell items at non rip off prices Can't stand Play! Would rather spend the few pence difference in price and buy the product from a huge Tesco Extra than buy from Play.

Zavvi are just making money out of peices of paper it seems :( ROFL not at all I am a far bigger fan of - http://www.find-cd.co.uk/ http://www.find-dvd.co.uk/ That is the price comparison site of all the top retailers, I ALWAYS use them before I buy something but I do find 8 times out of 10 that Play has the best price for the type of music I listen to or DVD's I buy
January 1, 200916 yr Can't stand Play! Would rather spend the few pence difference in price and buy the product from a huge Tesco Extra than buy from Play. yeah and you would probs get the money back in tesco vouchers and sites like play are not alway that cheep...(dont use it as i think someone may have hacked into play and stole my card details - it happemed to my mate as well)....cd-wow is terrible at the moment...

And as everything is 'supposed' to be discounted (£10.99 for the recent Fratellis album WTF?!) then they're certainly not going to now!

January 3, 200916 yr Beginning of the end for Zavvi... They were doing 10% off everything in store today! (bar iPods, games hardware and Virgin phones). I hope the sales are going to be the same for Ireland so I can raid my usual Zavvi store.
January 3, 200916 yr Beginning of the end for Zavvi... They were doing 10% off everything in store today! (bar iPods, games hardware and Virgin phones). On that logic, Homebase must be closing down as they're doing 10% off everything over the weekend.
