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.

Dear T Wood,

We cannot seem to find an order for this name on our system. Please would you be kind enough to contact us with some order details so we can better understand your review.

As far as we are aware, we do not request any reviews until after 1 month from purchase, allowing out customers to write about their whole experience.

It would be very helpful to know where you were requested to write a review so we can ensure we stop this from happening if it is happening

Alternatively you may have purchased from a retailer similar to us and have been confused in who has requested a review

Doesn't work & not helpful

I bought a laptop, been only a week & the keys are not working. I have contacted them since the 24th of July & it's promise after promise to collect it for repair. I have 2 years warranty & not helping at all. Order no: 36104. Absolutely regret it

Juliana, we are not entirely sure why you have left this 1 star review. We can see you purchased a laptop in June and in July you contacted us regarding an issue.

On the 26th July we asked you a question regarding being able to print a return label and you did not respond until the 4th August but with no answer to our question.

It would seem that we arranged for a collection on the 7th August but for some reason the courier did not collect, something in which we apologise for but cannot help.

We rearranged this collection for wednesday 9th August where the item was collected and returned to us for repair.

We repaired and shipped the laptop back to you on the 15th August.

We fully appreciate that things can go wrong and can only rely on the courier services we use, as do many online retailers, however once there was an issue with the courier we resolved it as swiftly as possible and performed your warranty repair as we would always do.

Overall we feel this review has been left a little prematurely and would kindly ask that it is edited to show more accurate information.

We believe that the comment of us "not helping at all" is quite unfair considering we have tried multiple ways to help with the return of your item and also have adhered to our terms and conditions of sale and warranty appropriately.

Kind Regards

I've bought a few laptops from My Cheap Laptop now and found the service and quality of goods very good. I took out an extended warranty on one of the more expensive items and although I had a couple of issues the warranty process was spot on with none of the usual headache you would expect.
My Cheap Laptop is my first go-to for refurbished laptops at a reasonable price with a great after-sales service.

Dear Laurie,

Thank you very kindly for your excellent review

Although we hope that no customer has an issue, we are glad that you were able to take advantage of our extended warranty service.

We like to think that the fact we offer up to 3 years warranty on a pre-owned device shows our confidence in it, however at the same time for a small extra fee you can add peace of mind that you are covered if something does go wrong after 12 months of computing.

We look forward to hearing from you in the future

Kind Regards

I wasn't overly sure about getting a reconditioned laptop. However, when you can get a higher spec one for the price of a brand new lower spec one I thought it was worth a try. I have to say I was really impressed with the laptop, its like new. The service was quick and prompt. I will definitely be using My Cheap Laptop again.

Brilliant service

Brilliant service. I was a bit apprehensive about buying a second hand laptop as I’ve never done it before and you hear all sorts of rumours. Happy to be proved wrong! Amazing price for a Microsoft surface pro - works perfectly, perfect condition, speedy service. Would recommend! I see people mentioning battery life so for reference mine lasts about 3 hours of constant word document/PowerPoint editing. Which is more than I’d hoped! I’m really very happy and you’ve saved me about £1000 off a new laptop

Many thanks for your kind words and excellent review.

All items have a delivery estimate showing before purchase and also on your order confirmation. Any item is shipped on a Next Day Delivery service from the day it is dispatched, however in some cased it can take a few days to ready the item. This is because we try to offer the most varied options in ways of upgrades that we can.

We do hope however that the delivery time has not put you off and look forward to hearing from you again in the future
