Customers are redirected to retail partners as Sony shutters it’s Online Store in Europe
Europeans looking to purchase products online from the company will have look elsewhere from now on it seems, with Sony having closed its online store in the region. While you can still browse through Sony’s products on the website, selecting a purchasing option will steer you to other online retailers such as Argos, Curry’s and John Lewis in the UK.
@nkellerns Hi, customers in Europe are no longer able to purchase products directly from Sony, but only from our retail partners.

This is all part of Sony drawing down its retail presence across the globe, having shut down similar operations in the US and Canada previously. While the US and Canada were given some warning, the European closure came without notice.
The Sony Mobile Store website appears to be operating normally at present if you were planning on pre-ordering a Xperia Z5, but if you were planning on buying a TV or camera, you’ll be guided to a partner retails store to complete the purchase.
