Ready to explode!!

[Barley]

I am not having any luck with my computer at all!!

The geforce 6800LE 128MB card I ordered from overclockers.co.uk.  I can't get it to work, so I've sent it back, and now I have to wait FIVE working days for them to process the RMA.

The broken Abit motherboard I ordered from Dabs.  I've returned that, and I have to wait SEVEN days for the RAM on that.

The Tagan 480w power supply I ordered on Friday from aria.co.uk, I've just checked and they've delivered the supply to somewhere in KETTERING, NORTHAMPTIONSHIRE!!  I don't even know where that is, I live on the Isle of Man!  So I tried ringing them at 5:25pm to tell them what they'd done, and I get:

"We are sorry out lines are now closed, they are open from 9am to 5:30pm Monday to Friday".

So now you know, 5:25pm is OFFICIALLY after 5:30pm!

I'm reduced ro running my PC from an underpowered PSU on a geforce 2 32MB graphics card now.  I'm so angry I'm gonna do some damage soon.....

OcUK are normally pretty quick with the RMA's. Can't say the same for dabs though, i've heard many different opinions on them

[suicidal_monkey]

if the product has a manufacturers warranty that can be better. When my iiyama (from dabs) went pop after 3 or 4 days I rang them and they sent a guy out in a van to collect it and drop off a replacement monitor. Took them perhaps 3 days to get the replacement to me? Nice

I've known aria to be both quick and slow on RMAs. Still waiting to hear back about my gfs DVD player we sent back... <_<

The first (and only time!! :yell:  :taz: ) I dealt with Aria they were a complete pile of Poo :blink: .....took them in excess of 35 days for an RMA, always had an excuse for not sending it and and only sent replacement after I had set the Trading standards on them

NEVER AGAIN

[Barley]

They're all as bad as each other.  They all do exactly what you want, until they sent you something faulty, or THEY do something wrong.

Then they all treat you like a piece of crap!

Never had that problem with Overclock.co.uk (note the spelling, not Overclocker(s) )  based in Slough


Prices not always as keen but the service has been excellent

[suicidal_monkey]

speak of the devil...

Just got an email from aria saying the DVD replacement is being despatched ...to my OLD address <_< but a short sharp phonecall later which should have actually caught them in time to change the address...we'll soon see!

[FatBob]

i always use scan or e-buyer. e-buyer are awful to deal with cos you cant speak to any1 but (touch wood) never had anything duff from them yet.
today i received an order from scan that included the wrong monitor (ordered silver/black got ivory/grey) so i phoned them today at 14:00 to tell them the bloke on the phone then said to me we will collect the wrong one tommorrow and deliver the right one at the same time. i know that scan sometimes arn't the cheapest but usually by a few pence or a coupla quid. i'll take good service every time over a so called saving with loads of hassle.

scan.co.uk

I ordered something from Scan a short while ago, delivery of £7.00.  I thought excellent very reasonable.

THEN I got an e-mail saying because I live on the Isle of Man the P&P will be £27!

I was like WTF?!  Why?  Postage the the Isle of Man DOESN'T cost more than England!   :angry:

They are //www.aria.co.uk

Just got that site name to compete with overclockers

[Phog]

They also have //www.overclocker.co.uk !! Its such a cheap way of scaving customers from OcUK

[Barley]

Well, I've had to ring aria up TWICE every day this week, but they've told me the guy who DID receive my power supply rung them to ask why he had it, so aria are arranging for city link to pick up the package and deliver it to me instead.

Finally!

I'm kinda disappointed actually that the abuse levelled at the owners of Overclockers that used to reside at http://www.overcockers.co.uk/ has now been replaced with a "Redirecting you to a decent retailer..." redirect page, taking you to KustomPC.
