Due to an incorrect stock picking which I realised *after* I had built the PC I e-mailed Aria, got a swift response, quick telephone call and all is now correct.... more than correct in fact! Well done Aria - you know people aren't wrong when praising their customer service I'm sticking with them...

Hi, I spend a few grand a month with Ebuyer but I am not happy with their service. I like to buy 99% of my supplies from the same place. Is there an alternative who competes on price and product range and website but provides better service?

Hi My elderly mother (78yrs old) has been having computer lessons. She is keen to buy a second hand (i.e. cheap) computer to connect up to the internet. Is there any recommended suppliers of refurbished machines online? She doesn't want to pay a lot as she doesn't want to waste money if she...

Having read all the amazing service, 'Bought something, turned up, wow' threads I thought I'd give a mention to what actually is amazing service. Having have a few things go wrong from Amazon and dealt with their returns department, its got to the point that I will always buy there 1st even if its...

I ordered three items last Sunday using the free (but slower) delivery offer - not expecting delivery until after Xmas (not presents) - two arrived at 7am Christmas Eve (separate packages) - and Amazon has now emailed me a £5 gift certificate as an apology for not getting the third item to...

Ordered a wireless ADSL router. Faulty upon delivery. Emailed. Ramesh apologizes & orders a new one at zero cost, politely asks for my old one back whenever. So far, it's the usual Amazon excellent customer service. Problem - order never progresses, stuck at same stage (delivery date unknown) for...

Now avoiding them like the plague unless they are people that I have heard of. Just bought a tape Walkman. Amazon site said 'company a' was selling the item, got email giving an individual's details. Got the item with another company's stamp on the envelope. No invoice included either. Item came...

A few weeks ago I vented my spleen on Dabs lack of customer service so it only seems fair to highlight good service. Amazon initially got it wrong - their 24 hour desptch didn't happen so I emailed a query. Reply apologised and confirmed despatch with reduction of carriage fee. Item desptched and...

Returning a defective order, will I have to pay postage? Thanks -- Derek

I generally use a unique email address for vendor accounts, and amazon is no exception. I also always mark accounts to the effect of 'no ad emails, no passing on address' - you know the sort of thing. I was surprised therefore when I received a spam email from Games Centre Ltd addressed to the...

Hi, When buying from amazon and then having them ship the item(s) to another address do they send an invoice or any sort of proof of how much you paid for it? I sold a few items on eBay that we have in stock but now found the items a bit cheaper if i was to have them sent from amazon. Dont want...

Anyone got a phone number for them? Got a weird order with them. It says "attention needed": We're sorry. Before we can proceed with your order, your credit/debit card's issuing bank requires you to do one of the following: * update the expiration date on the card you entered. * choose an...

Anyone ordered stuff from Amazon.com that was of value? im thinking of getting an MP3 player valued at $199 and wondering what tax ill get slapped on by C&E.

Quick question.. I bought an e-voucher from Amazon as a gift, but as things turned out, it was not needed. Attempts to get Amazon to refund the voucher have proven difficult; the first time, the response I got showed that they totally misunderstood my request for a refund, the second response...

dabs have a non-retail version of the above cpu for just £214 (retail is over £300). The only problem is that it's ordered upon request, and I have had bad experiences with dabs when items are not in stock so i'd like to get it elsewhere. All other vendors I've seen have only the retail version...

I remember seeing it on amd.com website where they listed all CPU, i.e. AMD Athlon XP 2100+ with the actual MHz speed. Now I can't find it... does anyone still have it bookmarked? Thanks, -- - Tony Sutton

How long does it generally take for CPU price cuts (such as the ones announced by AMD the other day) to filter through to vendors? -- Andrew Gillett http://argnet.fatal-design.com/ Abductor-arsis-metatarsis-quinti

Could I ask those in the know if AMD are planning any price cuts on their processors soon? Don't want to spend out now and find out that they've dropped by 20% in a few weeks time. Thanks -- :: Outgoing mail/postings are checked by AVG 6.0 :: Virus Database 347, Release Date 23/12/2003

I've read on various websites the Sempron socket A was out August 17th however Dabs etc don't have any yet....anyone know when the UK gets them ?

I ordered an item from Simply Computers on Thursday evening that had a "Carriage Free" offer. It said that delivery would be within three working days. Sod's law, I was home on Friday until 2.30, when I got home there was a card from Amtrak timed at 2.40 saying that they had tried to deliver...
