Online Hardware Retailers

[MYstIC G]

Since I know these forums be filled with peeps that would know I thought I'd ask you guys to recommend your best online retailers for hardware and those that should be avoided like the plague.

www.dabs.co.uk
http://www.crucial.com/uk/

Not had any problems with any of them so far - however, my purchases havent been HUGE.

Biggest purchase was the gfx card.

http://www.scan.co.uk have always been ok for me (though I've read about other people moaning about late deliveries). They do a nice 'Today Only' page with some good bargains.

www.overclockers.co.uk

I can vouch for DABS, Crucial and overclockers. All deliver promptly, and the prices are good too

 

[old.GateKeeper]

I have used:

www.overclockers.co.uk
www.scan.co.uk and
www.dabs.com

before with no problems.

I esp. like scan's Today only page - they have a gf2Ultra for £145+VAT that is sooo tempting.

I have just ordered some memory from www.crucial.com/uk/ today and the prices are good but we shall see bout the delivary etc tomorrow

I have always got great before and after sales help from these guys; http://www.theoverclockingstore.co.uk. I would recommend them for sure.

Dunno' about the prices but they seem pretty good.

 

[old.TUG]

as he said nowt to do with me being king admin for their forums tho.. lol

and www.tekheads.co.uk cuz it's a m8s company

 

[old.mid_gen]

I would also like to reccomend www.theoverclockingstore.co.uk

However, I would AVOID SCAN AT ALL COSTS!

They may well deliver on time *most* of the time, but as soon as you have any problems, you're stuffed. Their customer service is totally non-existent. I haven't heard of anyone who's had an RMA processed in less than a month. It's utter, utter crap. Stay away. Dabs are just as cheap.

I forgot gameswire. Very cheap games, and one order I made, where the CDs were damaged, the were very good with the return, covering postage and sorting out within a week of me posting. Customer service responded to my query with 24 hours too.

Interesting - after using Dabs for years, I ordered some kit a couple of months back, and had a real bad experience. Web said an item was in stock - after waiting a week for delivery, they told me it wasn't, and that there 'was no estimated delivery date' !
Asked for refund, never happened, rang again ....... I'm sure you can guess the rest

I've started using Insight, and havn't had a problem to date - bloody good prices too.

 

[GDW]

other than those mentioned above www.cclcomputers.co.uk not a huge range of choice but good prices, reliable and friendly to boot. Overclockers r good but have you ever talked to any of them on the blower-- what a bunch of grumpy bathtubs.

 

[old.SmoKe-23]

www.simply.co.uk are usually quite good too

 

[old.MrCurverUk]

NOOOO!!! NOOOO!!! NOOO!!! Simply, i hate em, they bombard me every 2 weeks with at least 3 letters and catalogues and i dont know why they choose me to get pestered, ive never even purchased nothing from them. PAH!
ww.overclockers.co.uk
ww.dabs.com
ww.scan.co.uk
