Review summary

Based on reviews, created with AI

Reviewers are really happy with this company. Many customers praise the products for their quality and performance, often exceeding expectations and offering competitive prices. People frequently highlight the helpfulness of customer service, noting quick and responsive communication, and appreciating being kept informed throughout the ordering and delivery process. The ease of ordering and the overall service experience are also commonly mentioned as positive aspects. However, some customers also noted issues with delivery times, with items sometimes taking longer than expected to arrive, especially when shipped from the USA. A few other people also felt that the product descriptions could be clearer, particularly regarding the origin of items and power cable compatibility. There were also occasional reports of products not working as advertised or arriving with minor damage, and some dissatisfaction with the return process when items needed to be sent back internationally.

The experience was not great, but if you start out with only one star you aren't asked for follow-up comments! We ordered a DVD player online in the UK, with UK costs, and were sent a US product with... See more

Item not received, apparently cancelled after chasing. Protect your money.

Order UK-DN#P430821957

Read the bad reviews but thought I give them a chance which turned out to be a mistake.

Ordered and paid for a projector over a week ago with confirmation email. Money's been taken but there were no further updates so chased up on shipping status.
Email came back saying the order was cancelled internally withhout any explanations and that refund would be issued according to their timetable.

Had a look at their website and they've increased the price of the projector.
Not a serious website, avoid like the plague.

Update: not only did they not process the refund as informed, when I raise a dispute with Amex, they asked me to close the dispute, otherwise they can't issue me a refund. How stupid do they think I am? What a scam.

This company has the worst customer…

This company has the worst customer service I’ve ever experienced. They inflate the original price and then overcharge customers well beyond the actual value of the product.
Do not buy from them shop around and compare prices elsewhere. This company behaves more like a scam than a legitimate store. Shocking prices and shocking customer service.
AVOID AT ALL COST!

Don’t use this company

Don’t use this company. Product came from the US despite it being a UK company, product isn’t compatible in the UK.

Product is also 7-14 days late arriving. Still not turned up.

I’ve asked for a refund and they said I had to refuse the delivery and it will be sent back before being refunded.

Avoid this store at all costs!!

I placed an order for a specific product, but only found out it was out of stock after repeatedly following up myself. At no point was I proactively informed that the item was unavailable.

Instead, I was offered a completely different product as a substitute, which was not acceptable as I specifically ordered that model.

I then requested a refund, which was agreed. I opted for a full bank refund, which I was told would be processed within 5–7 working days.

Despite this, the refund has still not been received. I was later informed that the refund had supposedly been processed and would arrive within 24–48 hours, however this timeframe has also passed with no funds received.

Communication has been slow and inconsistent throughout, and I have had to chase updates at every stage.

At this point, I am left with no option but to consider opening a formal claim with my payment provider.

Based on this experience, I would not recommend this company.

Patriot Viper Steel RGB DDR4 RAM

Order: UK-DN#P599944012
I have to be honest I was a little hesitant after reading some of the bad reviews, but as with all things sometimes things can go wrong. Anyway, I decided to give them a shot. Ordered some Patriot Viper Steel RGB DDR4 RAM 32GB (2X16GB) 3600MHz at the time they were the cheapest place around. Plus, I wanted to match what was already fitted in my machine. After a little prompting I was kept informed on my orders progress and considering they were coming from the United States, I certainly didn’t expect next day shipping. Ordered on the 8th March and arrived 19th March. All in all I have to say the service I received was fine.

Screen protector

I haven’t fitted the product yet.
But it did arrive yesterday. Everything looks great and very professional.
From buying to receiving is a little slow, but that is because it’s out of the country. Would buy again!

Fast efficient service.

Fast efficient service.
Although based in the USA. I was very happy with the delivery time. The price of the products are also very competitive which was my main reason for placing the order.
Overall good result from a company I have never used before but will be very happy to use again.
