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...

A little less analogue, and a lot more crap.

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

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

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.

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

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

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