JB Hi-Fi are a great store that have been around quite a while.........which always gives me added…read moreconfidence in a store. They have some great specials on electrical items here. I have purchased a phone for my child from here, great, basic, locked with minimal credit for only about $30. Didn't thin he would find something until he saved a bit more but proved me wrong. I have also managed to grab a great bargain on some really odd dvd's, especially some fantastic comedy ones. They seem to stock stuff you can't get in the usual department stores or even sometimes in specialised music shops. I have also purchased a larger tv and set top box from here before and have received great service every time. It does get rather packed out in the store, especially when they have a big sale on, but they do always have a security guard at the entry/exit of the store. Staff get really busy, even though they have heaps of staff working all the times I have been there they also seem to often have heaps of customers. But obviously that is a good thing and the wait has never been horrendous. I tend to go with the theory of looking for one thing, phones OR computers OR cameras OR dvd's, etc. Way too much to try and look at the whole store at one time.

My first choice when buying video games. JB has the biggest range and the best prices and the staff…read moreare really friendly and helpful. I just went in to buy a pre owned game but could only find a blank case with a sticker on of the game I was looking for. I found that easily too because it's well organised and in alphabetical order. The staff were very helpful and gave me a discount because it didn't come with the case. Winning! Also, unlike some places the security guy is really friendly and you don't feel uncomfortable walking past. I only come here for games so can't really comment on the electronics etc but I've only heard positive things. Oh and 90% of the staff are really good looking. Bonus haha

Admittedly I have been with 3 for quite a few years now, but I think I am getting close to the end…read morenow. This store was the one I would always go to for the last 5 years or so. It was ok 5 years ago, or maybe we were just lucky that day, but it has become increasingly worse over the years. It is always packed out with people and hard to get through the small store to actually look at anything. Plus you can only look for so long before you need some assistance and it is near impossible to get. As with all stores their utmost importance goes to the customers who are not yet with 3. And it takes a while to choose a phone, set up the account and do all the things necessary before you can leave. They will have 3 or 4 staff on and you still can't get any help. Once I stood in the line behind 3 other people at the counter and after 15 minutes waiting I walked out. Their call centre is in India so I hate ringing them but will if I have to and with their stores so busy you tend to have to often. Three have recently merged with Vodaphone but I don't believe it's helped them any so far. Everything still works exactly the same as it did but now I get shitloads more letters, emails and texts trying to get me to swap to a Vodaphone plan. I have unlocked all my phones and won't have to deal with them much longer anyway.

I put as many categories as this site lets me but there are heaps more than just what is listed…read more They also sell all electrical and appliances, big and small, anything from a blender to a pidgeon pair fridge/freezer. Basically most Harvey Norman stores are set up the same. Huge entrances to the furniture department. Usually entrances are in the middle of lounges, if you go one way you will ge tmore furniture then curve round to televisions and the likes, go the other way and get beds and bedding. I have managed to grab some fantastic bargains on some great pillows here actually. Heaps better quality than at department stores and they lasted heaps longer. The Electrical and Computers are usually in a separate section at the rear or one side of the store, with electrical left of the spearate entrance to this area and computer, mobiles phones, camera's, PC software, etc to the right of the registers. I have never purchased nay major electrical items from this store but have bought some really good computer equipment here. Including a fantastic Acer laptop. It was already out so cheap and had a cah back offer making it even cheaper in the end. I have always received good service here and been given some great advice from people who obviously know their products. Getting the service is the hardest part - they are usually really busy, more so in computers and electrical departments, and it may take a little wait before someone is available to help you. However once you have someone their service is usually very good, I have never had an issue with a staff member at any Harvey Norman store.

Grabbed myself a PS3 from here a little while ago, when it was on special. Which is the only time…read morethat I buy anything from any Harvey Norman. What I like about the place is the service. But I find that you're paying for it when you buy stuff here. That's why they bitch and moan about online shopping. You'll get exactly the same thing and pay less than half the cost in many situations. I haven't ever bought furniture at Hardly Normal's, just because if I'm paying that much, it'll be from a premium store, not this place, or any of the others. I do feel a bit sorry for those that have to buy their computers here. Seriously, go to MSY, buy the parts, and learn to do it yourself. You'll end up with a new skill, a computer that costs literally half the price (or less), and everyone will tell you you're awesome. Which is what I can't tell this place.
