We attempt to despatch all orders no later than 3
working days from receipt of cleared funds (subject to address
confirmation by your bank if you are paying with a credit or debit card). If we expect there to be
any delay in the particular configuration that you want we will tell you
BEFORE we take your order. (Please note that some higher spec PCs, video
editing PCs, and servers may take longer because of the extra time it
takes to test these machines thoroughly)
Computer
companies are notorious for late
deliveries. Many companies advertise products even before they are released
by the manufacturer. Sometimes you end up waiting for a month only to get a
call saying, "Sorry, we still can't supply. Do you want to wait
or cancel your order?"
How it works
is that companies take your money and use that to buy the parts they need
to build your PC. This is a dangerous practice in more ways than one.
First, it means that the company is strapped for cash - and that's never a
good sign. With several hundred or thousand orders orders per month that
works out to a pretty hefty interest free loan. There is also the matter
of depreciation. Components get cheaper over time. If you get your PC
three months after you've ordered it you've already lost 10-30% of it's
value.
We advertise computers
for which we already have the components in stock. If
for any reason we've run out of stock, or we are very busy, we'll tell you at the time of placing the
order that a delay is likely.
If the PC is a current award winner in a magazine test we do get extra
demand for it and may not always be able to deliver in our normal time
frame. If that is the case we will post it on this site and give you
an outside delivery date before you place your order.
