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!!!!

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.

agp cards, maybe you just got unlucky?

I ordered a "B-grade" Asus P4C800E-Deluxe from them. They sent me an
Asus
A7something. I eventually found the web page contact form, and got an
RMA
number from them. Two weeks later they sent me an Asus P4P800. I sent
this back as well only to be told two weeks later that they didn't have
any
P4C800E-Deluxes in stock. So they refunded my money, tho' we are still
argueing about who should pay the £10 I spent returning their incorrect
deliveries. 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.

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.
