Comet in liquidation sale as stores may start closing next week
Comet has launched a liquidation sale as administrators move to wind down the failed retailer ahead of store closures as early as next week.
Comet, which is being run by administrators Deloitte, announced the 'massive stock liquidation' on its website today.
The sale appears to be limited to physical stores, including the branch at The Bridge Retail Park in Telford, with customers unable to buy goods online.
The website currently only offers a question and answer page, store locations and confirmation that gift cards will be accepted during the sale.
But it also warned customers that it is no longer providing refunds, and any goods ordered but not paid for prior to administration will not be delivered.
The sale follows suggestions that staff at the collapsed chain could have the chance to join a rival after Dixons outlined plans to take on seasonal staff.
The owner of PC World and Currys has delayed its normal Christmas recruitment drive for an additional 2,000 seasonal shop staff, to offer Comet staff the opportunity to join the business.
Comet was placed into administration on Friday and gift vouchers for the stricken electrical retailer suspended on Saturday. The temporary ban was lifted on Tuesday.
