Anyone ever used them?

General opinion? quality of components?

Good? Bad?

They have a very bad reputation for poor service and returns and dont allow any negtive posting on there forums about the company.

[Nope.]

[bazza]

Never had any problems with service or returns, and I've been using them for years. The rumours of their reputation appear to have been sparked by some bloke who was sacked and went off on one.

I'll be using them again.

Used them several times without a problem. Never had a need to return an item so I can't comment on that side of things.

ive used them in the past and never had any problems and quick deliverys. But nowadays i use aria or ebuyers cuz they're cheaper.

[Irn-Bru]

My neighbor used them and he had a awful time trying to return a computer case that was damaged in transit. Never used them because of that, always stuck to ebuyer mainly.

Always use them, never had a problem. Delivery has always been prompt, always got what i ordered in good condition etc.

[TUG]

Bought a sound card off there the other day, took 2 days to get to me, so ebay like post service.
It was OEM so there was no box... but even so they packaged it shit too. so ebay like again.

Not impressed with the sound card either lmfao its just as good as my old external one.

Used them a few times back when they were one of the few decent stockists for higher end components then had a few serious problems. These days I wouldn't touch them with a barge pole.

Used them a few times with no problems, have also had really good service from www.scan.co.uk a few times too.

Depends who is cheapest for me really.

[ncrn]

Used them several times, only fault I've ever had was when I bought incompatible ram for my motherboard, as they don't take ram back unless its faulty I couldn't do anything.. But that is fair enough it was my mistake.

Apart from that they deliver quickly so can't complain.

Overpriced IMO. They used to be a bit specialist for for high end stuff but nowadays, you can get whatever by googling it and finding it on ebay or some other site.

Scan is usually very good, only problem with them is they use city link delivery which is a PITA for domestic deliveries.

[Souleh]

Heard the rumours about their lack of care towards their stock etc but only used them once and it was grand, no major complaints.

OCUK arent cheap once you price delivery, nevermind to Northern Ireland.

They do free delivery to mainland users if youre an active forum user but thats useless for me so ill continue to avoid them until they become competitive again for me.

[UnknownStuntm...]

I've used them before, no problems.

[blurredman]

I ordered a graphics card from them back in the day.
I only went to them though because it was the only place i could find the card and for fairly cheap.

Other than that I always go to ebuyer.com

Good = yes.

How much are they charging for that?

[supZ]

[Scythe]

I've bought a few things from them for years and never had a problem. I live 5 mins away from the shop though so I can speak to them face-to-face. I also know the sons of the owner and the owner was in my mum's year at school so I know I can always speak to his sons and they'll probably sort it out if I have a problem. Seem like a decent company anyway! As people of said, they are sometimes varnished with a bad rep but I don't see how.
