Lame Overclockers.co.uk
I've many ordered Chieftec cases from this company in the past and
today I decided to fit 2 extra drives in my last 2 of 5-1/4 bays of my Full Tower Chieftec DA-01W. Now for some reason Chieftec make a 6 bay Full Tower but only supply *4* sets of guide rails. So I needed another 2 sets of plastic guide rails to use the last 2 bays. I phoned my supplier of course. Did Overclockers.co.uk want to know? Of course not. They actually said to me over the phone that 'they could order them, but won't'. So much for customer service! Well, they may have just lost our company as a customer... I contacted the Chieftec UK Distributor 'Express Hardware' and they were 'shocked' at Overclockers attitude. They said they'd send a free set of guide rails in the post today. Hopefully this article will be archived by Google and help others trying to get full support for their purchase. |

That unique and special service you got from them certainly more than compensates for all the ****ty things one hears about this company. |

Overclockers Uk & aftersales service don't belong in the same sentence. |

You were shocked that they don't supply drive rails that the manufacturer doesn't deem worth supplying as standard, and you think it lame that they don't carry something in stock as a spares item that maybe 4 or 5 people out of a hundred owners might use? Hmm.... Seeing as how you've ordered 'many' of the cases in the past and have only just noticed the number of drive rails supplied, wouldn't that also indicate how infrequently all 6 bays are filled? No real shock then that Overclockers.co.uk don't think it's worth stocking them. |

I should add to all this overclockers bashing that I've bought from them on a couple of occasions and everything has been good. I've never had cause to make any unusual requests or make a return though. Tim -- Guns Don’t Kill People, Rappers Do. |

In article , "Tim Auton" says... snip So you think the fact that told the OP that "they could order them, but won't" is perfectly acceptable? I don't. They're probably only available at a silly price, so they don't carry stock, and they don't do special orders. Seems reasonable enough (I know I'm making assumptions, but I think you are too). Perhaps, but customer service isn't just about what you do but also how you do it. Saying "we could do it but we won't" is, at best, a very poor way of relaying your company policy. "Unfortunately we don't supply that part, I suggest you contact the manufacturer directly." is a much, much better way of getting the same information across. It's not their policy (assuming not supplying that part is part of their policy) that I find a problem, it's the delivery of the message. I don't know exactly what was said of course, but overclockers gave Stuart Halliday (the OP) the impression that they simply couldn't be arsed to help him out. That's a glaring customer service failure. Tim -- Guns Don’t Kill People, Rappers Do. |
