Review summary

Created with AI, based on recent reviews

Evaluating 31 reviews, most reviewers were somewhat happy with their experience overall. Many customers praised the excellent service and advice received, often leading to repeat purchases. Reviewers frequently highlighted the great value and suitability of the laptops for their needs, with some devices performing well for extended periods. However, some customers also noted significant issues with product quality, including laptops arriving with faults, overheating, or missing components. A small portion of people felt that post-sale contact and support were severely lacking, with reports of unreachable email addresses and phone numbers, and ignored communication attempts. This left some consumers without resolution for faulty devices, suggesting poor quality control and after-sales assistance.

Amazing service

It was amazing. Easy to contact by phone, I was helped to choose the right model and within 2 days the laptop arrived. I couldn't afford a new one but the one I got is perfect and a year later it's still working brilliantly. This is a greener choice too. Remarkable service. Thanks so much.

check your battery ASAP

good computer in good condition, works well, good price for the spec however be sure to check your battery ASAP this was a bought in oct as a Christmas gift It was checked on arrival and was in working order but by the time we realised the battery didnt hold charge it was too late to get it changed in an email from the company "We are sorry to hear that you are having an issue with your battery, we do state on our site that the battery is only covered under the warranty for the first 7 days of receiving the item."

otherwise it was ok

Dear Lesley,

Thank you very kindly for your great review

We do state in our listings that batteries are consumable and not a warranty covered item I am afraid, we are sorry that you did not check this upon arrival and can only urge that you do check items when they arrive for any defects.

We hope that this does not put you off of buying from us in the future

Described as 'good' but in 'excellent' condition - I certainly can't see any flaws: very good value.
Excellent communication.
Only fly in the ointment was ParcelForce but this is beyond the control of the seller.
Happy customer who would have no qualms buying again.

I've used these people twice now and the service has been exemplary and the machines exactly as described.
I have spent 40 years in the IT industry and know what a minefield buying a refurbished machine can be. My experience here has only been good....

Excellent refund service.

I bought an Hp laptop on 28/12/2023 and received it several days after. Having considered the specification, I realised I had made a mistake and the computer would not meet my needs. I requested a refund on the 04/01/2024 and have now received the full amount into my account on the 06/01/2024. Well done to all at the company.

Bought a couple of Microsoft surface pro laptops for Christmas presents having bought a tablet from them in the past that’s still going strong.
The two I just bought arrived late courtesy of parcel force going to wrong house luckily only left a card.
But worth the wait they are both in fantastic condition and work great. Thank you , highly recommend

Dear Mr Downie,

Thank you very kindly for your excellent review

Our offices are closed at the weekend as stated however we do try to answer any email queries a customer may have when possible during time of closure.

We are very pleased however that you were happy to leave a 5 star review for us even though you had an initial problem with your battery.

We do urge that customers check their devices upon arrival as batteries for example are not warranty covered items, however we do guarantee that they work on arrival and will offer a replacement if this is not the case as Mr Downie has experienced.

Mr Downie, we look forward to hearing from you in the future

Great service

Laptop arrived promptly and in good order, however the battery life wasn't great. As soon as I let them know, a new, higher capacity battery was delivered at no extra charge. I would definitely recommend this company.

I made a price enquiry on the Wednesday night which they replied to early Thursday. I then ordered at 10am on Thursday. I heard nothing about the order the rest of Thursday or at all Friday.

I queried the status of the order early Saturday but heard nothing all day, so cancelled the order late Saturday (I found a faster seller).

Cancellation still pending.

I don't have criticism just I expected more prompt details about my order and faster shipping (they did say it was in stock so I expected same day shipping).

I guess I'm just used to Amazon. Still, they're fair modern standards.

Update: they're not actually open at weekends but they've refunded it anyway.

Makes the whole review somewhat moot now.

Dear Buyer,

Thank you for your honest review, however we would like to explain to yourself and potential future customers that as a business we do not work at the weekend.

We have an automated Order processing service, this will send a confirmation email once you place an order with a delivery estimate located on this email.

We do try to answer any email queries if and when we can at the weekend but we do also try to ensure that our office have time off without having to worry about work 7 days a week.

We do understand that large corporations like Amazon would offer instant responses to customers any time of the day, however as a Small Business we thrive on offering a personal bespoke service form a small team in which you can ensure to speak with the same person every time you make contact.

Overall we are sorry that you felt unsure about your transaction and we hope that you can find it in your heart to entrust us with placing an order in the future

Kind Regards

Microsoft Pro Surface Fix

I purchased a Microsoft Pro 5 Surface about a year and half ago and took out extended warranty. Unfortunately there was a small issue it with it recently and it was so easy to to arrange a fix. I sent the surface back and the team worked really hard to fix it. I received a delivery today and it was a brand new surface... no extra charge, no big deal on their end and that is what was amazing. They wanted to fix the problem and went through all options. I was kept in the loop at all times and I really cannot rate this company enough! I have already told a lot of my friends about them as the service I received I truly believe to be A*

Dear Robert,

Thank you for your excellent 5 star review. Of course we hope that our customers do not have to use their warranty but we are equally asked the question quite regularly that should a problem occur after initial 12 months warranty, would they be covered if extended warranty was purchased and it is really nice for us as a company to read a review from someone who opted for peace of mind and has had a positive experience with extended warranty.

We thank you again for your kind words and hope that your review allows others to confirm that the extended warranty we offer is usable for the entire period in which it is purchased for.

Kind Regards
