Default Warning!!!!!

Stay clear of www.overclockers.co.uk I recently bought a graphics card from
them for over £200, the card is faulty and I have spent over three days now
trying to contact them to return it. They don't answer their phones or
emails, I passed it on to the disputes dept of my credit card people and
they spent a day trying to get hold of someone with no success (just rings)

I am now going to contact trading standards, I will never purchace from them
again as I have now read many horror stories of people with the same
problem. Shower of s**t!!!!

received 2 days later.

They don't look too good if you take into consideration these customer
reviews at Reseller Ratings. This is a place I look before I leap into any
online purchase and I would say to you Jimbo to do the same and save the
grief. I hope you get your hard earned $ back mate.

Also I'd recommend that no one buys their "B-grade" items as

they are more like "Z-grade", no box, no manual, no bits, no anything.
Both boards I received came on their own in a cardboard box and looked
well used.


On the contrary, my "B-grade" Asus P4P800 S-E Deluxe (deep breath!)
could have EASILY been passed off as new, even the accessories (which
the description said were missing) were included.

In fact, I think it was new because the piece of tape sealing the
anti-stat bag looked like it'd never been off!

Nice one OcUK!

www.resellerratings.com has saved me from this type of business many times,
I use it before any major purchase.

i had the same, i brought some wireless gear and paid extra for
nextday........3 days later, no parcel and im off on holiday. Amtrak (also a
**** shipping company) failed to deliever 2 times while i was on holiday,
even though someone was in *MOST* of the day. My sister then went to the
amtrak office, 2 hours before closing and guess what? it was already closed.

I come back from holiday, and phone OCUK....... 3 days later of "this line
is busy crap" i phone barclaycard, and within 2days the money is mine again,
so i ordered from http://www.cclonline.com instead.....which was delieverd
on time, and was also cheaper......

OCUK was my main source, but since theres no way of contact, other than
phone, which never works I WILL NOT do business again with them... shame
really... at least with CCL, tekheads etc you and email them and get a
reply...or if not, phone them and talk to a HUMAN.........

Oh dear, shame about those of you who have had what you deem bad service,
maybe I have just been really really lucky with all my orders. I have
ordered from CCL, Watford, Tekheads, Dabs, Kustom PC, and OCUK, and never
had a problem with any of them. One time there was a problem with an item
being out of stock, and OCUK phoned me to see if there was an alternative
item I wanted! Good service in my book. But the mention in dispatches goes
to Hitachi, who sent a courier to my front door with a replacement tft, I
was so impressed that I wrote to PC Zone's, "Saints Not Sinners," section.

well ive had 2 or 3 problems with OCUK in the past, but always ended up
going back. They've grown a bit too big again, and need a few more months to
catch up with getting staff training etc... much the same with i think it
was 2001-2002. they sucked then too, not enough staff, bad customer service
etc. 1999-2000 was fine for me, as well as 2003-2004ish.
