I heard on the grapevine that MicroDirect has closed its shops and it's gone into administraiton.
No idea if this is true or not. Does anyone know anything?

Don't know if their forum ever worked but that is down.
Any particular concern Purity ? Do you have something on order with them ? If you are looking at ordering then there are plenty of alternatives if you are worried.
As trade account holder and a regular customer I can confirm that Microdirect closed the week before last. The Stockport store closed in April and they moved stock to the much smaller Upper Brook Street store. That was the first I knew that something was up.
At the same time I noticed my trade discounts where getting smaller and smaller, typically I would get £3 off a £100 bill, lately that has been 50p.
A few weeks ago I noticed that they were running out of stock on major items. I joked then it looks like they were going bust. Tuesday a couple of weeks back I was in the shop for the last time, and it was cash only, that was the final thing which confirmed to me that they were bankrupt.
Since then the shop has been closed with a "under refurb sign" the website is still going but if you add stuff to the basket you see there is way of purchasing anything. A friend also told me that all staff have lost their jobs.
Apparantly it was because they were unable to pay their suppliers due to poor recent sales. The suppliers the put a windup order on them.
Is a damn shame as I fell out with Aria and Scan is too far from me.
