I have just received two pre-built 'budget' PC's from a vendor who, for the time being, shall remain nameless (unless, of course, I fail to get a satisfactory response to this question from them).

I purchased a mobo in late December 2002 but its now developed a fault (bulging caps). As the 12 month warranty has expired is there any chance of returning it to the vendor or manufacturer for a replacement? I bought it from CPUCity.co.uk, and its a Leadtek mobo. I would normally just chuck it...

Bought myself a new laptop last week, a Sony Vaio FS-295XP (very nice, I think). Anyway, it was delivered by Citylink (if I had known, I would have ordered elsewhere), but at least it arrived on the scheduled day, which is a good start. Anyway, Saturday morning, in my part of the world, it was...

Could someone please explain to me why online retailers demand information which is wholly irrelevant to the purchase in question? I was going to order a hard drive from www.kikatek.com, but they demand to know my date of birth, my gender, and my landline telephone number! Why on earth should...

I go to Amazon UK for an MP3 player. I find Amazon lists an MP3 player which will be supplied by Pixmania. I would like to know this ..... Is Amazon acting as an agent (so my contract is with Pixmania) or as a reseller (so my contract with Amazon)? Comments suggest Pixmania is generally ok...

I ordered a couple of injet cartridges and some CD-Rs from Dabs at 2pm Thursday. All were in stock with 3 figure quantites. I got suspicious when Next Day Delivery wasn't available as an option at checkout, but went ahead anyway since, IME, they ship stuff Next Day even for their standard 1-3 day...

Do SVP think I'm that cheap I can be persuaded by a packet of Jelly Babies to sing their praises in here? Dead right. More spot on service from 'em. -Rob robatwork at mail dot com
