If you don't like the way they do things then you're perfectly free to go elsewhere. As it is you seem to stick around so they're obviously the best option!
Ha, I knew Conroe wasn't the answer to everything!Gibbo said:The phone system is fantastic but it still needs people sitting at the other end to answer it.
The first time I bought from OcUK was the result of someone telling me about a PC components shop in a big shed a few miles away, when I wanted a motherboard that had been released a couple of days earlier. I went there, mentioned the chipset and manufacturer and the OcUK staff member told me the model and revision number off the top of their head, plus the fact that they had the boards in stock. I've also had them advise me to not buy a more expensive product because there were reliability issues with it (they'd sell it to me if I wanted it, of course) and I've heard them tell someone that they could buy a second-hand motherboard from Loot for about £20 or buy a new motherboard, CPU and memory from OcUK for a couple of hundred quid (it was an obsolete system, the stuff wasn't sold new any more, so he wouldn't have been able to just buy a new motherboard). That guy probably bought a motherboard from Loot...but he probably bought his next lot of kit from OcUK, or his friends did.Ghuraba said:I remember the first time I ordered from OcUK. 2001 it was. I bought a heatsink for my first self-built PC. I remember on another websites forums I mentioned where the particular heatsink was available and they really slated OcUK. I was worried about ordering as I was new to online shopping. I ordered anyway without a problem I'm pleased to say.
In 5 years I 've bought all my gear from OcUK. Although they might not be the cheapest, few pounds here or there on some items, but they have excellent delivery so when I want something fast I know I can have it in literally 24 hours. This is what is important to me. I've bough pretty well all my PC components from OcUK and in 5 years I've only had one ATI 9700np bork on me and that was after 6 months use and some clocking.
Keep up the good work

I'm not really prone to writing gushing testimonials, as my general experience with retailers both online and offline in the UK deserves a whole lot less than glowing praise.Angilion said:I've also had them advise me to not buy a more expensive product because there were reliability issues with it (they'd sell it to me if I wanted it, of course) and I've heard them tell someone that they could buy a second-hand motherboard from Loot for about £20 or buy a new motherboard, CPU and memory from OcUK for a couple of hundred quid (it was an obsolete system, the stuff wasn't sold new any more, so he wouldn't have been able to just buy a new motherboard).

I stick around the forum does not in any way imply i stick around the shop, neither does it imply other people do.
