Bye bye Misco

[Analoguesat]

Misco went into administration this morning with the entire UK operation being shut down with immediate effect.

So if you were considering ordering anything from them - DONT!

Apparently they had an 80,000sq foot warehouse with 65 or so staff set up for dispatching 6000 parcels a day - and were shifting less than 500 a day...

Towers or laptops ?

Regardless, their logistics manager should be first in the firing line.

I used to trade with them years back, I think a lot of resellers are struggling at the moment, the computer world is waiting for that big performance breakthrough....and waiting and waiting

 

[Captain Jack]

Ouch! I remember trading with them for the company I worked for over 10 years ago... Shame.

 

[Lazarus]

Aha. Someone to blame.

They wont get it from the home market. An interesting nugget of information has come to light this term at my workplace - most of the kids dont have computers at home nowadays - they all access the web through their phones & tablets.

Must have been before Systemax flogged the almost corpse off to Hilco

EDIT - yup it was about a month before the sale

Yes it is a massive contraction for the industry and by no means at its peak yet, there will be other casualties

From my previous boss this morning....

The Misco website is back up. Now with a "Massive stock clearance"banner on it!

The offers arent particularly generoous though - they will have to do better if they want to shift whats left of the stock.
