Hello,

Does anybody know when back-to-school sales/ offers begin in UK?
I am looking to buy a new tablet and was wondering if now was the right time or it would be btter to wait some more..

Much appreciated.

Is there such a thing as a back to school sale on tablets?!

Incidentally I bought my Dad an Ipad Pro from Currys PC World Ebay shop that was listed as having a damaged box - £150 off the RRP.

It came through the post and the 'damage' was a tiny little crease on the back of the box - It's still in the cellophane and everything!

Pro tip. Punch things is curry’s then point out the damage before you buy it

Oh, so is that only an american tradition? That's a shame...
I could swear I've seen reductions in the past around this time of the year and automatically assumed it was a back-to-school sale.

Thanks anyway, guys.

On the high street, I'm already seeing "back to school" signs in shop windows.

For tech though, your best bet will be the bank holiday Monday at the end of August.

Back to school sales start the last week of summer term!

Used to hate that as a kid lol

Much appreciated, mate. Will wait some more, then.

Are they actually sales though, thought they were just massive posters reminding parents that little Timmy may have put a couple of pounds on over the summer after being holed-up for 6 weeks playing Xbox and eating crap so will need a new pair of school trousers?
