Carphone Warehouse has shut down the OneStopPhoneShop operation, the online retail business it bought only two years ago.
Yeah, far too many cooks in CPW's online retail business.

One has to wonder if this means that OSPS customers cash back deals will be honoured. It was recently advised on another forum that e2save had been placed in admiistration although the site appears to be trading as normal.

It'll be interesting to see if these moves affect the deals customers signed up to.

I think OSPS cashback will be honoured as the brand lives on. I don't know for sure, but it'd generate a lot of ill-feeling if it wasn't, and with CPW ownership there's really no excuse for ripping people off.

It interests me that web sales of mobile phones have continued to go downhill in terms of quality. I'd imagine this is because online retailers are simply parting with more commission than brick and mortar stores would, meaning lots of cashback and lots of upselling.
