If any pc parts supplier could see their way to start telling the truth and deliver on the day they say they will and the day I bloody pay extra for I would remain a loyal customer and wouldn't mind paying a bit extra for decent service.

How hard can it be for s sake?

you say that as though it's particular to pc parts suppliers confused I thought that was just general working practice in the UK?!

Last year, in the second six months I used ALL my holiday waiting for deliveries and tradesmen to turn up - with a 1 in 10 success ratio. I ended up having to take unpaid leave to get the remaining bits n bobs.

I'm not supposed to name and shame. I've never used any company that has been 100% reliable and I've used plenty of them.

They had a really good deal on a monitor I wanted and look business oriented. If they haven't shipped by the end of the day I'll cancel the order.

Often it's significantly less hassle just to drive to pc world.

Supplier review... it247.

Ordered 8 items tuesday for next day delivery. Finally got everything yesterday and today. 8 items sent in 5 batches. They weren't able to track where anything was at any point. They also told me one piece was out of stock and I wouldn't get it. It turned up half an hour later. One item was sent to the wrong address.

My suspicion is that they hold no stock and get it sent from their suppliers directly to you. Good prices, terrible customer service, dreadful delivery system.

Regards,

Mark

Try www.ebuyer.co.uk
Never has a problem with them & their returns policy is excellent. Customer service is good too.
I returned an MP3 player after about 11 months. They gave a full refund as they no longer stock that model. Got a new one for £30 less on Amazon!

will often buy stuff from a store called Spearpoint in letchworth, parking is ok by them and they can sit in all day to get stuff from the couriers who always seem to deleiver on days when I told them I am not around and then expect me to drive to their office on the day I am around
