How
come I haven't heard of you? |
|
|
|
|
|
Unlike
other PC manufacturers we don't spend a lot on
advertising and publicity. We very rarely
advertise. We rely on our customers to spread the word of
our unbeatable prices, our quality products and our dedication to service (see
what they say). A large part of
our sales comes from recommendations made by satisfied
customers and rave
reviews and awards from the press.
|
|
|

|
|
|
What is your main business?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Our primary business is the supply
of quality, award winning
machines, via phone/internet ordering. We stock a range of computers pre-built and ready for
shipping. We do also several options on modifying/upgrading our models to your
exact requirements. Our strength lies in video editing computers, graphics
workstations and dual processor machines. We are authorised dealers/approved
system integrators/approved suppliers for most of the big names in the video
editing industry.

How long have you been
trading?
|
|
|

Best Price Computers was established in 1995 with a modest
sale of two machines in the first month. Today we supply thousands of the
most desirable PCs to locations all over
the world. In Feb 1996 the company was registered as a Ltd company. In 1998
we achieved ISO certification as a recognition
of our commitment to quality. In 2000 we started sending PCs in to UK
computer magazines for review and have won awards and rave reviews from the
most respected PC magazines in the UK. In 2002 we moved to the Poweroid House location as
part of our continued expansion.
We believe that our sound financial structure,
excellent products, and commitment to
service, will keep us thriving for many more years to come.

Why do people buy from
you?
|
|
|
|
|
|
People who buy from us on a regular basis have come to
realise that while we offer the Best Value, cost is not the only factor. We offer a
professional, friendly, prompt and honest service with probably the best warranty in the
entire industry.
Rock Solid
Warranties*:
Our warranty is one of the best in the industry. But
dont take our word for it - call us now on 0870 22 00 444 (UK code +44).
See how long it takes to get a reply, and then try the Compaq, Time, Simply Computers,
Evesham, & Dell support lines and see
if they are open. (NOT their sales lines - you'll always get through to
those!). Try it a few times and you'll see what we mean.
Low Failure
Rates: With our
dedication to quality (evidenced by browsing through our products and seeing
what components we use) and customer satisfaction we have one of the lowest rates of "returns"
in the industry.
Prompt
Service on deliveries: Place an
order with us and your machine will be despatched within 3-4 working days. If
there is a stock shortage on an item we'll tell you before we take your
order.
No Hidden
Costs: We do not
force you to buy bundled software. Joe public is now getting wise to "Free Software" offers.
No games and other cheap software bundled with the PC. So you don't pay for
what you don't need.
The Best
Price: Of course when our customers save a few hundred pounds on a
quality PC, that
does serve as an incentive.
Money Back
Guarantee*: We are
so confident that you will be absolutely delighted with any product bought from us that we
will give you a "no-questions-asked" money back guarantee
on mail order computer purchases. (Please note that computers built specifically to
your order are exempt) Simply return the goods to us undamaged and in original packing
within 14 days of receipt, and we'll cheerfully give you a refund or credit. This
guarantee is in addition to your statutory rights.

Computers Ltd has a reputation for having one of the lowest failure rates of machines
among ALL the mail order hardware computers sellers in the UK. Our strict selection
procedure on purchases means that you get only reliable, quality computers with
parts/components from respected, name-brand manufacturers. In fact we are so confident in
the quality of our products that we offer you a FIVE YEAR WARRANTY on labour (first year
includes parts).
Quality Certification:
Our
strict quality tests on every computer we build earned us an ISO
quality certification. Most of the products we sell carry the CE mark as well, the
European certification label. more

What about your warranty?
|
|
|
|
|
|
Unbeatable cover: Everything
we sell comes with a peace-of-mind warranty. By default our warranties are RTB
which means they are Return To Base i.e. Hockley in Essex, but we do provide the
options of on-site warranties at very reasonable costs.
5 years on
labour: All
computers have a minimum of 12 months parts and labour warranty which means that if
something goes wrong with your machine you will not be charged for either the part
replaced, or the labour involved in doing the job. For a further 48 months you have a
labour warranty i.e. should a part become defective you pay only for the part and we make
no charge for the labour.
Some items/products may come with a longer warranty.
On Site Warranty Options: With
an on-site warranty you are covered at the registered address for a minimum period of 12
months. On reporting a problem a third party engineer will visit you by the next week day.
Problems can usually be fixed on the spot. Should your computer require a part that he
does not have he will return to his nearest office and return to your site to make the
change. more

When will I get my
computer?
|
|
|
|
|
|
With most mail order firms you may find that delivery is
not guaranteed for upto 4 weeks. Yes, almost a month! In the fast changing computer market
your machine could have devalued by as much as £200 in that time.
Despatched within 3 days: We
despatch all computer orders no later than 3 working days from the date of the order. Yes,
3 working days. Delivery is by by courier and should arrive by the next working day.
If there is a known delay on a particular product we will tell you before we
take your order.
Note: All normal deliveries are made on weekdays - Monday to
Friday. The couriers do not deliver on Sundays. If you require delivery specifically
on a Saturday it may be subject to a slightly higher charge. more

not happy with my purchase?
|
|
|
|
|
|
However unlikely, if theres a fault with your machine
please talk to us and youll be surprised at how quickly we can rectify it.

you a free upgrade to a better/faster product. But your best safeguard is our:
14
day Money Back Guarantee

the protection that accompanies purchases with a card.
