Question Need a new supplier

Never had a problem with ebuyer but the local Citylink branch has gone down the toilet so need a new supplier. Have tried Dabs but they use Amtrak who couldn't find my house, then when Dabs would not refund my postage i closed my account.

So where is reliable for PC components, must be reasonably priced, reliable and offer next day delivery.

I take it you mean overclockers postal and not the shop, as the counter service is absolutly shocking, i live a couple of miles away and have ordered mailorder from them before as its quicker and easier than buying from the shop.

I can second scan, bought a few things and had no troubles with them. Cant remember which postal company they used, aria were ok but i think they use citylink also.

Aria & OCUK as well as cclonline.com - PC Pro Online Retailer of the Year 2006

As for Citylink, I work for a mail order company. Citylink are by far one of the best couriers we have used. Yes OK, they screw up from time to time, but it's substatially less than DHL, Parcleforce, Royal Mail. And unlike Amtrack, they goods generally get there in one bit.

Citylink have just merged with Target and service is terrible, I wonder whether it will just be a blip?

Microdirect.co.uk is the UK leading retailer of quality computer components and electronics. - they're really cheap and do next day delivery.

It says they post via Citylink, Amtrak and also Royal Mail so you can probably specify Royal Mail as the courier.

Do you mean the guy with no teeth??? I have to talk to wall behind him... or else I just stare at the gaps

If I do go to the counter I get there as early as possibly as it becomes a bloody nightmare with more than 5 people waiting. It ain't rocket science to have more than ONE PERSON one the desk is it? Why can't you order and collect????

Mind you - bloody good prices
