....ebuyer have really wound me up this time. I've been dabbling in self-build pc's for about 15 years or so now and for the last few years have bought most of my gear from ebuyer. I've never had a problem until now, and even then it's not a matter of life or death...but the principle. At the...

I was thinking of purchasing from ebuyer. I'm not interested in after sales service, and I'm not interested in my goods arriving on time. However I *do* want the *correct* goods delivered undamaged. So what is ebuyer like in this respect? Another thing. I actually ordered a dvd writer last...

Hello. Does anyone know if Evesham still supply an operating system CD with their computers? I ask this because as of around 6 months back Dell has stopped supplying them with sales in the UK. I'm not really interested if someone bought their computer a few months/years back and go a CD. I want to...

Today I received my digital camera I ordered from ebuyer and I'm not happy! The goods are obviously second hand. Ebuyer didn't even have the decency to repackage the goods in a presentable manner. The cables where removed from plastic wrappings (the empty plastic wrappings thoughtfully still in...

I foolishly bought several items, including a Seagate hard disk, from Ebuyer a few months ago. The hard disk has failed, so I thought it would be easy (and free) to get a replacement. Looking up Ebuyer's RMA procedure it appears that they expect me to pay the postage on the return. Rather than...

Has anybody had any experience with Overclockers.co.uk? (or OcUK as I think they're also known as). I bought 2 x 1GB 3200 DDR from them in Feb of this year. Towards the end of May one the sticks failed so I requested and got an RMA number for the faulty stick. I only wanted to send the faulty...

I started using Ebuyer a few months ago - ironically, I first checked them out after reading all the complaints about them in this NG. My dozen or so orders have all been delivered correctly and on time with no issues whatsoever. Yesterday, however, I had my first chance to find out what their...

Went to an IT auction today in Manchester with loads of good P3 kit and servers there, the PCs selling for very very good prices. When it started we were told 'no PCs can be removed until Tuesday as the drives are not formatted'. I spoke to one of the goons about this formatting of the drives and...

I would like my next PC to have all its components chosen by myself; to the extent that I wish to choose the manufacturers of the components. My chosen supplier (CCL) is taking ages to get its online configuring system online and my money is burning a hole in my pocket. Can anybody advise on a...

Hello all, Just thought i would share my experience with you all in regards to PC World. Usually I find PC world to be a good source of that "must have" item that can't wait the 3 days delivery time. The sales staff don't tend to bother me as i know what i want and don't really stay around...

I am looking for a broadband (512K) provider plus email service. Pipex is amongst the cheapest and also has above-average scores for customer satisfaction in some surveys. The combination of low-ish cost and good service seems too good to be true. Have you experienced the Pipex Xtreme residential...
