“Bought a new PC from them, arrived after over a week, when it was supposed to arrive within a week. Earthing of the PSU was not properly done, and so the USB ports sparked whenever an external HDD USB cable approached the PC. They didn't bother to respond to me, and were more than happy to take the money. I'll be pursuing the money back via my credit card company (thankfully I ordered via card), and if needs be, will take them to court, just to prove a point to these mouth-breathers. DO NOT GIVE THEM BUSINESS, THEY DO NOT CARE AND TAKE NO PRIDE IN THEIR WORK!”

“Ordered after office hours Tuesday and dispatched before noon Wednesday. Paid for 5-7 working days and it arrived Thursday I don't know if this is more to do with dpd, either way very appreciated. Before it arrived I had a few questions about some of the hardware in the prebuilt pc that didn't have manufacturer information and my questions were answered quickly over the phone. PC was rough handled a little by the delivery driver on arrival so very glad they pack it so well: inside a box with foam frame for no movement and then that box inside another massive box all packed tight with the pc insides also full of packing material. Everything working would definitely recommend. PC was a little expensive compared to some others I found with similar internals.”

“Bought a "brand new" graphics from them, only for it to arrive scratched with a bent IO shield, as if its been screwed down with the strength of god behind it. I complained in a call to Overclockers and they took the most relaxed and rude approach to my call, like its something I should of expected and its perfectly normal practice for them. I mean I paid for next day delivery, and now I'm getting my replacement GPU (In a presumably new condition) 3/4 days after I ordered it after this return is process. This cost me over £700 and Overclockers said they weren't making any money off of its sales, so couldn't offer any compensation OR apologies for the shoddy service. That's THEIR PROBLEM, and it shouldn't be MINE.”

“same experience as everybody else on here. ordered an item with Saturday delivery option (paid extra for) that was in stock and in time for Saturday delivery. they didn't even bother to ship it on the Friday. can't trust them and wont use them again. BOX and SCAN in my experience do fulfill their delivery promises”

“Disgusting customer service- take money anc do not dispatch items. Rude and lie to you on the phone, when asked where the items are, the response is sarcastic “well I can’t walk down to the warehouse can I, I’m working from home””

“ordered a whole list of parts for a brand new PC on friday (c£1400) all items "in stock" - had an email on saturday that 1 item was short and was delaying my order - agreed a replacement item which they covered (the cost was more) all items arrived on sunday morning - cannot fault the quality of their customer service - thanks OCUK :-) THIS WAS OVER A BANK HOLIDAY WEEKEND!!!”

“not the first time so decided to warn others - if you order and pay for next day delivery even if you order in the morning, you can be certain it will not arrive the next day or the day after - it will not even get shipped without contacting and complaining to the sales team - that is the most missleading company i have ever used. Will never use again - timewasters.”

“So sent a faulty mainboard back to them within 30 days of getting it. kept rebooting and network port stopped working. They then send me a email that they returning my board due to damage of the cpu socket pins. The guy on the phone basically insinuated that i damaged the board and thats why i sent it back. Im not supposed to prove that the board was fine when i sent it yet they dont have to prove they didnt damage it. Crafty way to avoid replacing faulty equipment. Id avoid this reseller at all cost. Use SCAN or another reseller.”

“Dear Overclockers Team, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to express my concerns regarding the delivery of my next-day parcel, which has encountered several obstacles due to an address discrepancy between your system and DPD's. Upon receiving notification from DPD that they could not deliver my package due to an incorrect address, I reached out to your team for assistance. During my first call, I was unable to receive help due to internal system issues. During the second call, I was advised to change the delivery status to "leave with a neighbor" and provide the correct address for that option. Unfortunately, DPD has since informed me that they still cannot deliver the package, as the corrected address remains too distant from my actual location. I have compared the address on your system with the one provided to DPD and found that they do not match. Consequently, I have incurred additional delivery costs, spent valuable time on two phone calls with Overclockers, engaged in three web chats with DPD, and now I am reaching out via this ticket request since your phone support is currently unavailable. I understand that errors can occur, but I kindly request your prompt assistance in rectifying this situation without further input on my part, as well as compensation for the inconvenience caused. I value the opportunity to share my experiences with others and hope that resolving this issue quickly and satisfactorily will enable me to highlight the positives of your customer service. Thank you for your understanding and prompt attention to this matter.”

“constant lies for 2 months still no product.... after spending over 1 hour waiting to speak to someone. each time if you hear the line we expect it the second half of this month It means you need to be compensated for them wasting your time they have sold my parts as I wait for parts to come in stopping any delivery as they need to wait for new parts they sold from my order that were in stock they have blamed royal mail they blamed xmas they blamed there warehouse they have blamed me for ordering all my parts at the same time and now they are blaming the Chinese new year and saying I have to wait till half way through next month I have had this said too many times now... While I still have nothing and they sit on my money.. what the hell happened to this company????? they have the time to block bad reviews but not to do what you pay them for.. I HATE LIES AND PEOPLE THAT PASS THE BUCK. I Feel such a strong need to pay them a visit to punish them for there lies and that is going to cost them for me to go out my way to do so.. I really hope they see the error of there ways before I turn up at there house to personally ask where my stuff is ???? clock is ticking”
