scan.co.uk good e-tailer?

Considering getting something from there and wouldn't want any hassle
sending it back. I'd get what I want elsewhere but scan have it in stock and
i need it now sort of thing. Also they have it a few quid cheaper.

Any thoughts?

You get what you pay for, when it works most e-tailer's are fine I have
dealt with Scan on many occasions and touch wood had very few problems my
favourite at the moment is www.overclockers.co.uk who have provided
excellent service recently both on the phone and with very speedy
deliveries.

I noticed but I wondered if what i saw was someone with an axe to grind.

Where's a big list of e-tailers so I can consider others? I'm sure there was
one on a webpage somewhere. I'm looking to buy some corsair pro twinx ram
and scan have it in stock, nowhere else does.

Aftersales is pathetic with Scan. Try someone else.

was
one on a webpage somewhere.

Tekheads sell Corsair RAM (not sure whether they've got what you're after,
though):

http://www.tekheads.co.uk/s/category?category=77

Personally, I wouldn't touch Scan with a bargepole. Their prices are very
good and they have a huge range of stuff (ditto Dabs), but the risk that
something might go amiss and I'd have to chance it with their technical
support is not a very enticing prospect. IMHO, it's best to pay a bit more
and get better service (such as Tekheads, Overclock, VGI, Novatech (?) and
so on)

Tekheads says 1-2 days which would probably be faster inc next day delivery
than Scan which is also cheaper than scan's standard delivery (Scan order
page states they only re-open tomorrow and give an estimated despatch day of
Wednesday which is a bit late for me. I'll wait for Tekheads to get stock,
don't want to have my £200 lurking in some crap companies bank account :-)
Then possibly Scan would suddenly decide they don't have what i want in
stock (based on groups.google.com)

Any idea how accurate Tekheads are with their stock levels? I've sent an
e-mail asking for a definite date but I guess I won't get a reply till
tomorrow sometime.

Scan total £190.35
Tekheads total £194.40

Based on the worrying things I have read I think the £4.05 extra is worth it
for next day delivery and service :-) Many thanx...

in scan's deffence...

i ordered about £1000 worth of stuff just before xmas last year, all came in
good time and order, no problems there.

Until you have to return something most etailers will be fine and as
such I don't pass opinion. OCUK have a reputation of poor aftersales
also IIRC.
