“Absolutely horrendous company. Initially pretended to have stock of RTX 3000 series cards in, then it turns out that they falsely do that so that when they eventually get them in you are already obliged to buy through them. Now they have proven once again how greedy they are and do not have customer interest at heart as unlike all other retail sites, they have grossly overpriced the graphics cards to absurd levels of mark ups. Horrendous company strategy and I will never, ever buy from there and will warn off anyone that listens.”

“Overclockers are engaged in a campaign of censorship. Any mention of competitors gets you an instant suspension on their forum. They’re very greedy and the gouging is ridiculous when a graphics card can be as much as £700 cheaper at Scan.”

“Bunch of crooks Ordered a case from them and got sent back to them due to Brexit, they asked me if I want to get it sent back and I said yea. Now 2 months later still no sign from them and they say they have an "IT issue" which is their way of saying "please cancel your order so we can sell the case at a higher price Thank you". My first order with them so you'd think they wanted to retain new customers and take care of you but I guess they are too greedy for that. Stay away if you actually want to get what you pay for!!!”

“Don't buy their overly priced pre-orders of the rtx 3000 series as they wont get the stock in for months, and judging by the que position I was on I would of had to wait for another 6 months.”

“You cannot phone them. At least 1.5 hours on hold. They do not respond to normal or manager webform queries. They do not care what you want once they have your money. Worst customer services I have ever seen in the UK - yes worse than Curry’s!!!!”

“Insolvent Rogue Traders These cowboys are breathtaking. There is no email, and they do not answer their phones. In other words they are completely unwilling to enter into a normal customer/provider relationship. My experience is that I cancelled my order, using their online form and firmed that up with a webnote, and they still proceeded to take my money. Having eventually gotten through to them by phone on the third day of lengthy waits, I was told and I quote verbatim - "You are being ******* ridiculous" I was also informed that there is no manager to speak to. I told them if they did not process the refund at once, I was going to the Police. They eventually agreed to actually process the cancellation/refund and informed me I was blacklisted from ever using them again. This is the day after I already told them via their useless webnotes system that I was completely unhappy with them and required them to erase my username/password from their system, and process my refund. A total shambles from a company with a formerly good reputation. Absolutely breathtaking. I was required to give 1 star in order to complete this review. These guys should not be trading under any circumstances, as their actions border on outright criminality.”

“Horrific customer service, spent an hour and a half on hold before being cut off the first time, then another 2 hours before giving up. They took my order claiming there were 2 left in stock and it will be with me 1-3 days. a week later it wasn't dispatched, no reply to a webticket, nobody to answer the phone, checked and it's now out of stock, guessing they just take orders and hope they can fill and have nobody there to answer complains. I just hope their refund form works”

“They advertised a Rog Ryujin 360 AIO cooler as in stock on their web site , clearly stating 4 in stock . I ordered the payment of £200+ went out immediately. I monitors the website and sure enough the stock number fell from four to 3 then the day after from three to 1 and eventually to 0 I had assume my order was safe , 5 days later I checked their web site again and a message appeared in my basket out of stock . Absolutely unacceptable. I contacted them on the phone no answer , and through their web note option receiving automated response , dispute their assertions that customers would get a response within in four hours. I am now waiting for a refund , and will be easing an issue with PayPal . Never useOverclockers UK absolutely not”

“Terrible customer service! I Could not track my order. Overclockers Did not respond to my emails about queries about my order. I was on hold for 1 hour and 31 minutes! Yes! 1hour & 31minutes! When I finally got through there was no apology for my wait on the phone or my ignored emails!? The man I spoke to on the phone didn't care that I was upset or that I was cancelling my order due to being so poorly looked after as a customer, he just wanted me off the phone with no apologies or explanations? I would never order from here again and would not recommend to family or Friends. I'm actually mortified at the way I was treated. So upset.”

“Ordered a gaming chair back in November 2020, to be delivered 15th December. It never arrived. I contacted support, they said it will be dispatched on 21st, nothing. Got a dispatch note on 24th saying it's been shipped - The tracking says that the courier are still waiting for the parcel on 4th January! Nearly 6 weeks later and still haven't received it!”

“Ordered a case 3 weeks ago, still not arrived. Email response said they had it and were waiting to ship it, that was 5 days ago. On hold for over half an hour, gave up. Order still shows as not yet shipped. The items E.T.A has changed 4 times since ordering. Thankfully I ordered the rest of my build from Scan and Amazon with out a problem. (I nearly ordered all of my build from O.C until they added the VAT just before checkout, blowing themselves out of the water, nice try!) So far a complete waste of time.”

“Avoid this company. Placed an order on the 4th December for a Noblechairs Epic Gaming Chair as a Christmas present. Website clearly showed it was in stock at time of ordering. After a week, order still hadn’t shipped. Contacted Overclockers only to be told item was out of stock and wouldn’t arrive until January 2021. Completely joke! Shop elsewhere.”

“35 minutes, and waiting, for customer support with a stupid message “please Wait for next available agent”. Other companies give you the courtesy to tell you what your queue number is. Ordered via finance which went smoothly with the external company, but no update on the ocuk website hours later despite fully approved and confirmed finance. You’d think when spending a *small fortune* there would be some semblance of decent quality of information exchange. Previous purchases went well when no finance was used. There was no need for customer support. But this experience definitely gives me a different perspective to consider when buying a expensive goods.”

“Poor handling of RTX 3000 series will guarantee I will never purchase from OCUK again. I understand that the stock is bad everywhere, but it's the communication, or lack thereof, that is the disappointment. Never-mind bans being handed out in their community (only place to get order updates like expected stock) when trying to gain some information. Compared to competitors who can put together a dedicated page, detailing expected stock for weeks to come, which is updated before mid-day, every day, Overclockers is a joke.”

“Overpriced products which fail to be delivered. Happy to hold on to my money for months on end, with the bare minimum of information supplied about when to expect delivery. They promised to provide almost daily information and all I get is one email a week about a queue position, and a once a week forum post about which SKUs they've received shipments of. Lack of clarity from their management, lack of clarity from their suppliers too. Don't order from them. I certainly won't be doing so again.”

“Poor company, over 2 months after placing an order and still waiting for it to be delivered. They're happy to keep my money in their bank account, making the interest, along with the thousands of others who have put their faith in them. They also have a sister company in Germany - caseking.de. selling same products at higher prices in euros. I have concerns these customers are taking priority on orders. Never again OCUK you are awful and not to be trusted again!”
