Sometimes you can set a static IP and hog it, but most ISPs don't let you. Virgin dont at least

I've got a static IP with Plusnet, not sure I know of any others offering it!

There is another company based out of the UK, what's the opposite of an old chicken?

Well birds don't have opposites, I don't think.

So... young lionheart?

I initially found a motherboard that was cheaper than everywhere else but about £50-£60. I did realise they had poor reviews but thought why not take a punt and have a Paypal backup.

Because its a total waste of your life energy, as you've clearly demonstrated

I don't know why people bother risking it... there are bad reviews for a reason.

Life energy :confused:

It's ok, got my money back easy enough, that's what PayPal is there for.

Time and energy, neither easily replaceable. I have other things I want/need to do, rather than not get stuff delivered, argue with dodgy companies and have my plans impacted.

It's just hassle, that's why reviews are important when choosing a service. You've maybe got loads of expendable time, in which case I'm jealous, as I have very tight windows of opportunity these days.

Add to the review that they threatened you. Report them to trading standards. Reply to the email telling them you are doing both of those things.

Yrkoon · 26 Oct 2019 at 03:36

wowa, they seem a terrible company and the reviews are shocking, how the hell are they still in business?

AHarvey · 27 Oct 2019 at 12:04

Put a new review up with the email from them so others know what they are doing.

When I have dealt with a company like this I sent all the emails and interactions to PayPal asking why they allowed the company to use PayPal when this sort of practice goes on, they were removed a few weeks later.

They use pictures on their homepage of other companies custom built PCs (with their logo's included in the builds), and have then photoshopped very poorly their own logo on the front of the case. If it was my company they were stealing product images from and pretending it was theirs, they'd be in trouble. Anything like that would ring alarm bells with me.

I suspect they don't even hold their own component stock, they probably get orders dropped shipped from a distributor.

Does it matter if we say who it is? Not like anyone is gonna see this thread and think "ooh yeah I'll order from them"
