Great ship times - generally one day. Service/Customer service is pretty responsive, very good. All in all a very reputable store, love buying here with some of the sales going on.

Great company

Ordered parts for a new computer on a Wednesday morning, and it arrived in Ireland the following Tuesday afternoon via UPS Standard. Everything was well-packed and as-described.

They even threw in a packet of sweets! Small enough not to upset my diet, but big enough to make me happy. How can you complain?

Competitive prices and great customer service!

Back in late February I needed to buy myself a nice computer for productivity and gaming tasks and I stumbled Caseking, I figured I could by my Graphics card, Power supply, Processor and RAM from there as their prices was way cheaper than where I lived, it took a bit longer for it to ship than I anticipated however that had nothing to do with Caseking as they shipped it out immediately.

when it has been shipped to my house everything thankfully was working perfectly, however I had realise that the ram I got was incompatible with the motherboard I needed to get for my processor, I hadn’t asked for a refund for the ram until a week later at a Sunday, thankfully they were quick with accepting my refund request and I sent the incompatible ram sticks which was always a good thing to see!

I had also decided to buy thermal paste and my motherboard from Caseking too, and both of them managed to be delivered on a Friday instead of having to wait till Monday this time which was a great thing to see.

when building my PC I had noticed that the heatsink on my graphics card was a bit bent, however this most likely he nothing to do with Caseking and more to do with the Manufacturer or myself, however after loading Furmark it hadn’t reached over 64 Degrees and mostly hovered around 63 after five minutes of load so it’s probably more of a aesthetic issue than a performance one.

TLDR; Customer service was quick with my issues and had pretty good prices for their components, i don’t really understand the amount of 1 star reviews that is given to the company, maybe they are unlucky, however I didn’t went through anything wrong with Caseking, thanks!

It is a shame to be treated like that after a 4000€+ purchase

Edit 2 to answer the "IM ALWAYS RIGHT" guy, because after I buy this kind of product, I do not want the fake customer support to tell me I cannot instal windows.
If you were able to stay quiet and accept blames, which can help you grow up, maybe I would have not answered and showed everyone the bad faith you display:
You said:
→ It is not YOU = "olivier morel" who ordered that PC. The order was placed by another person including the invoice address so that person is our contractual partner, not you.
-I have ordered with my girlfriend account because payment via Amazon. I have 2 houses, I just delivered the new PC to the new house. What is wrong with you? I have sent IDs to trust pilot to proove you are just arguing and lying. That is why Trustpilot put my review back online when you asked to remove it. You do not like the truth, you cannot improve yourself? You will never grow up.
This is a free advice, you see, even if you buy nothing from me. I buy 4000€+ PC and you cannot send me a simple sentence via mail.
This is just a SUPER BAD SUPPORT everybody can understand that. Stop ridicule yourself and your company.

You said:
→ We would've done that ourselves if you had paid for it, which you didn't. We're not going to write lengthy manuals for free.
-"You will probably need to change the PCIe X1 slot 1 and 2 mode to M.2 mode in the BIOS under Advanced."
What a lenghty manual.

-You said:
You ordered a system specifically without an operating system so we're not setting up anything.
YOU TOLD ME: The system is delivered as configured without Windows. We are happy to add Windows. That would be EUR 139.90 for WIndwos 11 home and EUR 159.90 for Professional.
ARE YOU TRYING TO SCAM YOUR CUSTOMERS?
You can instal Windows for free, then activate it later.

-"Looks like" is not equal to "is"
if you have trust issues yourself, this is not my problem, solve it before crying a river.

By replying like that, YOU SHOW your bad support and arguing with customers. Thank you ;)

PS: LCD fan assembly is not even in the good way...
You just ignore Lian LI added value....

Edit 1 to answer :
Looks like Chat GPT answer.
Why it is not me ordering the computer? I put photos of it to confirm my review after you flagged it to make it disapear.
What do you not understand when i say:
"I had to do much modifications in the BIOS so the computer can see the SSD (and I had to remove it to change the port of it, CSM, and so on...)."
Yes you explained how to do, but not a full information, and 10 days after the PC has been delivered. Why not just send the explanation with the PC?
You are selling a service, I order more than 4000€, just stop arguing and face the truth, your service is not that good.
And Mike, you are a joke, always trying to chatgpt all reviews. Level up

End of Edit 1

I have ordered 4000+€ parts to build a computer.
Good products (Full Rog strix / Lian Li / 4080 super...).
I have asked them to build the computer.
They charge Total amount: 173,74 EUR to build it.

When I receive the PC, I cannot use it, I cannot instal windows...
After I ask them (I have to wait 3 days because week end...) they tell me they have not tested the parts, they have switched on the computer with their own SSD... Because I didn't want to pay EUR 139.90 for WIndows 11 home and EUR 159.90 for Professional.

I had to do much modifications in the BIOS so the computer can see the SSD (and I had to remove it to change the port of it, CSM, and so on...).

This is , from my point of view, not acceptable when you buy 4200€ parts and ask them to assembly.
Not profesionnal.

Dear "olivier morel",

Update 2:

We've explained everything already and there is nothing to add regarding this toxic nonsense. Again, we are not installing anything for free if it's not being paid for, especially not without activation of the software.

Update:

Is it really necessary to defame a company employee as Chat GPT just because you didn't like or understand an answer?

"Why it is not me ordering the computer?"

→ It is not YOU = "olivier morel" who ordered that PC. The order was placed by another person including the invoice address so that person is our contractual partner, not you.

"Yes you explained how to do, but not a full information, and 10 days after the PC has been delivered. Why not just send the explanation with the PC?"

→ We would've done that ourselves if you had paid for it, which you didn't. We're not going to write lengthy manuals for free.

"You are selling a service, I order more than 4000€"

→ You only paid for the hardware and assembly. We already explained it. You ordered a system specifically without an operating system so we're not setting up anything. We also not going to offer free support if people don't know how to install an OS.

Original response:

You don't seem to be the person who ordered this system. In case of an RMA claim, please tell our contractual partner to contact us instead.

Thus far it seems unclear as to why exactly you are unable to install Windows. I must stress that the person who ordered the system decided not to order an operating system which is why we are not going to install it for you. The price for the assembly was only for the assembly of the hardware parts, not for installing or setting up software, hence the word "assembly". There is no basis for a partial refund that you asked for.

This obviously requires the person who orders a PC without software to know how to install an operating system and how to configure the BIOS for that. CSM should be disabled if you want to use above 4G decoding and Resizeable Bar, which will disable support for legacy devices. Also, the SSD you want to use for Windows needs to be formatted with the GUID Partition Table instead of MBR. In addition, you probably have to set the PCIe lanes of the PCIe slots of this particular motherboard to M.2 in order to see the NVMe drive in the BIOS. We already told you that in your support ticket and explained how to do that.

You are also repeatedly claiming that we didn't update the BIOS, which is untrue, because we did so. And yes, for such systems that are dispatched without an operating system we logically have to use a separate SSD with an OS to boot it from in order to run our benchmark and stability test suite, because how else could we do it?

Kind Regards

Good till first faulty item

Good till first trouble. I spent over 5k in this shop, but I am out now. I sent faulty RAM (tested before on 3 different computers and when bar was inserted computer had random blue screen crashes - definitely faulty) back to them, and I got it back as full working!!! They are claiming some paragraph 437. So if you do not want warranty problems, avoid.

Edit:

Thanks for answer Mike

So to clarify. I bought matched memory pair. When both sticks were inserted (on default BIOS settings) computer crashed with totally random blue screen errors (once twice a day maybe). When only one stick - working one - was inserted, computer ran without any issues. But when just faulty stick was inserted crashing has somehow become even more intense. I ran memtest86+ from USB stick and no errors were found. Then I transferred faulty stick to other fully working computer with different components about 5 years old and - had same blue screen crashes again. So I was certain about fault before sending back with description of a problem. Now I am solving this issue with manufacturer.

Edit 2
Hello again, Mike

I am using logic here - if one stick of a matched pair is working and other not on a same slot on a same motherboard then is obviously faulty or mismatched to that level that causes problem which is still under warranty for matched pair. As said I tested on two different motherboards generations apart. These RAMs are on compatibility list for both motherboards. There are many such problems described on forums where memory tests do not recognize faulty ram.

Edit 3

So I am unfortunate that one part does not work in any of my motherboards, or maybe lucky that one does and I still can use half of kit. I will present this case to German and EU consumer protection service to get their opinion. I still think that when buying new part, working or not working can not be matter of luck.

Dear "Muto Lay",

Update 3:

If you buy a new RAM kit, you can easily test them and return them within the 14-day withdrawal period. And until 1 year after receipt of goods, the burden of proof for a fault at the moment of the passing of risk also lies with us. Your memory kit is, however, much older.

Update 2:

[Edit: Thank you for finally identifying yourself.]

You purchased the memory kit in question in November 2022 and apparently it worked since then. The burden of proof lies on you. We can even provide counter evidence that your memory kit still works perfectly today:
https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1BL3qq3zCmuzb_XDeJ8U8QJZke0kqoOFU

The memory kit is CMK32GX4M2E3200C16 and it is *not* included in the QVL of any of the motherboards you purchased from us:

"I am using logic here - if one stick of a matched pair is working and other not on a same slot on a same motherboard then is obviously faulty or mismatched"

→ This is not logical. Of course some unsupported memory sticks sometimes work, some don't, no matter their kit combination. Silicon chips are not 100% identical to each other that's why there is a silicon lottery as well as silicon degradation. It depends on many factors, settings, timings, profiles, voltage, the correct slot usage and so on.

"There are many such problems described on forums where memory tests do not recognize faulty ram."

→ The vast majority of such forum posts obviously contains incorrect assumptions and solutions both. Memory that doesn't work stable with certain memory controllers in CPUs/motherboards or settings is not automatically faulty. That's simple logic. And yes, memory test tools are specifically designed to test memory regarding defects.

Update:

What you describe is unfortunately a totally normal occurrence and simply incompatibility with the respective memory controllers of each CPU. Those memory modules are not faulty. That's what is proven by various Memtest tools. Nowadays DDR4 and especially DDR5 RAM are commonly known to be very fickle and sticking to the official QVL of motherboards is becoming necessary. You also have to make sure to use the correct memory slots on the motherboard if you use two sticks. You can't just put them in anywhere. And again, the memory timings and clock settings in the BIOS must be correct. You can check the SPD values with CPU-Z. Your test method of merely testing a stick in a second system doesn't say much when it comes to RAM. You could test perfectly working memory modules on unsupported boards or with incorrect settings all day and they'd still not be faulty. The fact that only one stick worked is more evidence to that since the CPU's memory controller doesn't have as much to do with just one module. The supported clock rates with two modules are also always lower than with only one stick.

Original Response:

What is your customer or order number? Please contact me via email at "mike@caseking.de" or in our official support forums so that I can check your case. Supposedly defective memory modules can be easily verified as faulty with Memtest and similar tools. Your memory modules were apparently proven to be functional.

Many customers forget to activate the proper memory profiles like XMP or EXPO for their respective RAM modules in the BIOS which is often the actual cause for instability. Apart from that, overclocked memory is not compatible with every motherboard/chipset or memory controller/CPU.

Amazing customer care

Ordered the Hyperion case, received it with the lower left corner irreparably damaged, possibly before shipping. Contacted CaseKing and the issue was handled quickly and professionally by Cedric Schramm and Mr. Fassbende. They contacted Asus for me and sent me the single spare part I needed. Everything happened quickly and easily. Super kind & supportive people working at CaseKing.

Very poor costumer service if any

Ordered a asus noctua 4080 and it arrived without branding and after reporting it they said they will see what they can do. That took a couple of months and they began talking about a replacement or refund and they came to the conclusion that missing branding on a 1600 euro gpu is not enough to issue an rma claim then they said they will contact asus to see if anything can be done and then there was no reply for a month up until today when i sent an email again and they said that the best they can do is offer me 20 euros as compensation for the missing branding. I understand that they cant see into the box when they ship pc parts and that this is a fault on asuses side but offering 20 euros as compensation without a chance for a refund or replacement is very insulting. This whole ordeal took place over the span of 4 months and i am very disappointed at the way this was treated. The responses on the support team are extremely slow sometimes i had to call them directly to even get an answer I was surprised that i even got an answer today on email because when i called i got no answer. I do not recommend buying from their website because if they cant handle a faulty gpu i cant imagine what they do to pre-built pcs if anything happens to them or any other parts that get shipped.
Again not recommending buying from them.

9.2.2024 :Update on the whole ordeal after posting a bad review i got an email the next day and they suddenly had a solution, they now have a used 4080 noctua that a costumer returned and they offered me a used card as a replacment

As to the response below the review just because the transaction was over 2b2 it shouldnt take 4 months to come up with a solution led alone a 20 euro compensation.

As for the used 4080 that i was offerd after thinking about it it makes 0 sense to take the used card over a new one with missing branding.

And to top it all off they offered me the card and told me to change my review to something better. I will not be doing anything of sorts.

Ahh yes the snazy replies for your department was waiting for that, and no you seem to have skipped the part where i typed in the email that i would PAY the diffrance. Seeing the way you reply to other costumers this does not surprise me. But i guess the ego in this company is is enormous, sad to see that German quality and professionalism does not exist anymore and to your replacement note in what world do you think its ok to replace a new gpu with a used one?

Dear Matej Klobasa,

Update 3:

Sure, why not? It was just a 14-day withdrawal from a B2C order because it didn't fit into a case, which is why it legally counts as new. In what world is it "professional" for a vendor to take back a months-old and now definitely used GPU from another business at a massive loss just because of a logo? Again, you are not an end customer.

Update 2:

We only asked you to update your review to reflect the fact that we tried to accommodate you. You on the other hand immediately attempted to pressure us into exchanging your GPU into an ASUS Noctua GeForce RTX 4080 SUPER in order to get a (edit: paid) upgrade. Because of this, we have now decided to terminate our (already short) business relationship and close your B2B customer account.

Update:

Minor superficial or optical flaws are insignificant and do not entitle to a settlement within the scope of the liability for material defects, as they do not impair the technical function of the product in any way. As a vendor, we are only obliged to deliver an item of average type and quality in accordance with § 243 I BGB (German Civil Code).

Although this is a trivial matter due to the fact that the product itself is not impaired in this case, we have offered you a credit note of 20.00 euros as a gesture of goodwill and have also offered to exchange it for a product of the same type and quality. Unfortunately, we cannot offer you any other solution to you as a b2b customer since you do not enjoy consumer rights.

original response:

You are not an end customer but a B2B customer with a dedicated sales contact which is why the process is different. We are already working on a better solution and are currently exploring several options. Your dedicated sales person is already in contact with you.

Kind Regards,
Mike

Purchase of a new PC

Purchased a new PC, delivery was thrown over the gate, PC was damaged. Opened at the request of an employee. No assistance no acknowledgement, I request clarity on the situation as I was always chasing to find out what was happening. big back and forth with Mike in customer service. At the end advised once the damaged PC is returned they will issue a refund. I have all the emails as proof of the delay in response and the expectations. At no point was I given a resolution or any guidance to my purchase. Terrible experience.

Update to the above as written hastily and with frustration. Below is a more detailed explanation.
Updated as they have flagged the name which has been removed however is the same who replied to comments on this platform.

Delivery Issue: The initial problem was the careless handling of the parcel by the delivery driver, throwing it over a gate despite its fragile nature. This shows a lack of responsibility on the part of the delivery company.

Response Time: There was a significant delay in addressing the issue. I had to follow up multiple times, and even after 10 days, there wasn't a satisfactory resolution.

Communication: The communication from the customer service representative, lacks empathy and understanding. Instead of acknowledging my frustration, there is a focus on explaining the limitations of their processes.

Refusal of Subsequent Performance: the customer service representatives response, refusing subsequent performance and opting for a refund, is a drastic measure that doesn't consider my inconvenience and frustration adequately.

Lack of Proactive Measures: I suggested sending a replacement while waiting for the return of the original purchase, but the response doesn't explore this option. Instead, the emphasis is on the challenges faced by the company.

Failure to Escalate Appropriately: When I expressed the desire to escalate the issue to a manager, the response doesn't show a willingness to address my concerns but rather reinforces the decision made by the systems integration department.

Failure to Provide Timely Updates: rightly pointing out the lack of transparency and urgency in handling the issue. The company's failure to keep me informed adds to my frustration.

Unprofessional Tone: The tone used by the customer service representative, especially phrases like "I can't perform magic," are dismissive and unprofessional.

I also expect a no further contact has been issued to my latest response.

Dear "Michael",

Thank you for removing personal information of our employees (me). This would've been reason for a legal dispute and is also impolite behaviour to put it mildly.

"There was a significant delay in addressing the issue."

→ I explained to you in great detail that our systems integration department is operating at maximum capacity for reasons and therefore telephone availability cannot be guaranteed at all times while answering support tickets takes several working days. Again, we ask for more patience, apparently to no avail.

"At the end advised once the damaged PC is returned they will issue a refund."

→ A repair (if even necessary) of the system has been offered to you from the beginning: "we have to assess the condition of the system first [...] It won't be something we can do particularly quickly, also considering the fact that our system integrations department is still pretty busy. I can of course offer you a refund instead and we can perform a withdrawal if you don't want to wait."

"the customer service representatives response, refusing subsequent performance and opting for a refund, is a drastic measure that doesn't consider my inconvenience and frustration adequately."

→ No, it's nothing drastic and very common. We only eventually refused subsequent performance because you repeatedly refused the solution offered and even started to ask for compensation without any legal basis for that. We denied your request for preferential treatment and explained that it is not possible to prioritise this standard case of a failed delivery of a consumer product which occurs every day and is therefore nothing extraordinarily special.

"The communication from the customer service representative, lacks empathy and understanding."

→ I acknowledge that it sucks that the delivery company just threw your new gaming PC over your garden gate door. This is very unfortunate and shouldn't have happened, but also out of our hands. I immediately offered a pick-up and repair of the system. I cannot be your grief counsellor though.

"I suggested sending a replacement while waiting for the return of the original purchase, but the response doesn't explore this option."

→ I did explore it and rejected it. In addition, I explained why it's not even possible: "We always have to build systems like the one you ordered first […] Every single order takes several weeks"

"When I expressed the desire to escalate the issue to a manager, the response doesn't show a willingness to address my concerns but rather reinforces the decision made by the systems integration department"

→ The decision was made by the head of our systems integration department = the responsible manager, which I told you. And in general, we are not going to enforce the Karen meme in our daily practice.

"rightly pointing out the lack of transparency and urgency in handling the issue. The company's failure to keep me informed adds to my frustration"

→ I don't know where you see a lack of transparency given the fact that I frankly explained every reason for everything at every opportunity. It is not our primary concern to quell your frustration at all costs.

"The tone used by the customer service representative, especially phrases like "I can't perform magic," are dismissive and unprofessional"

→ And yet necessary in order to make some people understand that their demands have been rejected.

"I also expect a no further contact has been issued to my latest response."

→ Your complaint via telephone was successful in that regard that and we're now back again at what was initially offered: A return of the system and a repair that takes the time necessary for such a repair. Using a different parcel company is and has always been possible of course. We are still not sending out a new system in advance and we are also not going to be able to expedite the repair.

Kind Regards,
Mike

First to take your money, not so fast to deliver the product

Extreme dissapointment!!!

I have placed the order on the website for a MSI 4080 Super Suprim, card was showing in stock and immediately available upon ordering.
I have placed the order, the confirmation email came, few minutes after I received an email that my order is now being processed.
30 minutes later I receive an email that the product I ordered is no longer available and that there is no ETA and it can takes months until the product comes available, I have sent an email to the CS to request the clarification and received email Back from Customer Support that pretty much repeated the previous automated email, no compassion no sorry nothing, no response as to why they would take my money for a product they do not have, no any kind of response to my questions regarding the order!

If a company that big cannot manage their stock nor are capable of doing their job correctly, they should let us know upon ordering, now over 1300euro are bound and I cannot go to a shop that actually has the availability, and due to caseking I most likely will miss getting a new 4080s card!!!

Extremely unhappy both with their online stock management and their extremely poor customer service team.

Update as of 1/02/24 They have cancelled my order but said that cannot issue the refund immediately.
They are just making sure that I will miss any possible available 4080 super, only because I left negative review.
***Funds refunded after opening a case with PayPal

Take your money elsewhere and don't waste your time with Caseking.de as if you decide to leave them a negative feedback they will hold your money for as long as the can.

Dear Demis Mykonos,

The GeForce 4080 Super was - as you surely know - launched as a product exactly at 15:00 on that day. Unfortunately a lot of people tried to order one of the very few cards we had in stock at the same point in time which our servers simply cannot handle quickly enough. This cannot be prevented since it's unreasonable to maintain massive overcapacities at high costs only to guarantee that extremely rare and short load peaks can be handled. Your payment was therefore registered by our ERP system at exactly 15:39 at which point all stock was already gone.

We are sorry about that and I also want to apologise for the initially sub-par communication of that issue on our part. Your order has been cancelled as requested and the only reason the refund couldn't be issued immediately was due to the fact that you (unnecessarily) opened a PayPal conflict in your frustration which freezes the amount (in our system) and prevents us from refunding it until the conflict is first resolved. This disrupts the usual refunding process and an employee must first resolve the PayPal case which takes a bit longer.

I was the one requesting your customer data via Trustpilot outside of the usual working hours of our support staff yesterday in the evening since you didn't give your true name here and therefore I was unable to find your order at first. After you've provided your order number, the order cancellation would've been processed today by our customer support during their working hours in any case even without all the drama and the PayPal case.

Kind Regards,
Mike

Bought a King mod computer (over 7000 euros) that was in stock, ready to ship.
After 10 days not a single word about the computer, possible causes of delay, or tracking number.
I sent multiple emails/tickets and so far only one person answered telling me that the Portuguese store (globaldata)would contact me to send me the computer. Because I was not getting any phone calls I decided to call the Portuguese store and they told me that they never do that and in this case, they would not do it because they didn't have the computer. They also wrote that information on the main ticket that was open with caseking.de
So after 10 days, they decided to stop replying to my messages/emails and right now I have no idea if they have the computer, what the condition and when will they send it.
I paid a premium price (over 7000 euros!!) and I am getting the worst customer service I have ever experienced in this field.
I completely dont recommend caseking.de
Stay away from this store and its lies.

Dear Nuno Vasco Costa,

Update on Saturday:

First of all, you have ordered a fully custom-watercooled hand-built system that that usually takes several weeks to build. The store page clearly says "Lieferung in 8-10 Wochen" (Delivery in 8-10 weeks).

Now while we have already fully built your system in about 1 week, it should be obvious that it is very large and weighs more than 35 kg which is why it (a) needs to be very properly packaged and secured and (b) cannot be transported with any regular parcel company, especially not when it comes to international long-distance deliveries from Germany to Portugal.

The system can only be delivered via a dedicated freight hauling company which we have to book and this takes a while. The shopping basket already says "This Product is a bulky good".

Due to the very high workload following a Germany-wide wave of illness during and after the Black Friday week as well as in the middle of the pre-Christmas period, all logistics processes require more time and parcel transport as well as hauling companies are very busy. We therefore ask for your patience.

"I sent multiple emails/tickets and so far only one person answered telling me that the Portuguese store (globaldata)would contact me to send me the computer."

→ This was a misunderstanding by our German-speaking support staff. Our subsidiary Globaldata has absolutely nothing to do with it. I am sorry for this piece of misinformation. Please do not contact Globaldata any more, since they are absolutely not involved in any way.

"I have no idea if they have the computer, what the condition and when will they send it."

→ The system will be readied for dispatch early next week. Afterwards it will be picked up by the hauling company. Please have some patience since the package needs to be transported about 3000 km which takes time. The hauling company will then contact you to schedule a delivery date. Again, please have some patience since every step involved will take quite a few business days.

Original response:

I will contact you on Monday with information regarding the status of your system. You can reach me directly via "mike@caseking.de" or in these official support forums if that makes it any easier:

Faulty component, No replacement

I ordered most components to Build a PC (except the graphics card). Once i put everything together i realized the MSI Z790 Tomahawk motherboard was not reacting to any power inputs (did not accept any power and wasn‘t responding at all)

I contacted CK, described my problem and sent the Motherboard back. While packing it up, i dropped the cover into the socket and bend some pins of the socket (just 3 of the 1700 but noticeable if you took a close look). I thought to myself, hopefully this isn‘t going to be an issue, since the board was broken from the beginning.

First it took CK 11 days to respond after they have received the board, wich is a long time in my opinion. Furthermore, their answer was basically that I mechanically damaged the board and they can send it in, to TRY to fix the pins for 70€, but there is no guarantee it will work.

So i said, yes i damaged them sending it back but thats not the problem, the problem is that you send me a faulty board, wich is not accepting any power, so even if you fix the Pins i am left with a Motherboard that‘s broken.

The content of their answer basically was:
We don‘t send you a new one or fix the initial problem, do you want us to try to fix the pins for 70€ (can go up if it gets more expensive) or send the faulty board back to you.

After a little forth and back via email a more competent worker from CK (in my opinion) replied to me and explained, since i mechanically damaged the Board trying to send it back, releases CK from all terms of warranty and now its my problem that the Board is not working.

I told them to send it back to me and they should not try to fix the pins, because even if they can manage to fix the pins, i‘d have payed another at least 70 € to then get a motherboard that is still not working.

As for the Mainboard, I ordered an AORUS (bit more pricier but worth it) from a different online shop. Worked like a charm. I do not recommend the MSI Z790 Tomahawk since i read on multiple sources that my problem is no unique exception and plenty of users had the same issue with exactly this Motherboard.

Regarding caseking,
Don‘t get me wrong, they didn‘t do anything fundamentally wrong or against the law.
It‘s just not how I would treat a customer who spend almost 4000€ in roughly the last year, who i just sent a faulty component to.

So personally, i will not do business with them again in the future.

If you got any further questions, feel free to contact me.

Dear Andreas,

The legally mandated liability for material defects ("seller's warranty" or in German "Sachmängelhaftung") prescribed by German law in §§ 434 ff. of the German Civil Code in accordance with EU directives (which always require an implementation into each country's national law which usually results in slight variations) generally refers only to defects whose seed or cause already existed at the moment of purchase, but never to defects which can be traced back to improper handling, use contrary to the intended purpose or damage caused negligently or wilfully, unnatural wear and tear as well as natural attrition occurring later.

Due to the physical damage to the CPU socket caused by you, which does not correspond with the reason for the complaint and which cannot have been present at the time of delivery, an inspection of the goods in a tamper-free condition is thus no longer possible. The item has not been delivered to you with that kind of damage. Accordingly, the defect of the device is incompatible with the legal presumption of the reversal of the burden of proof according to § 477 BGB (German Civil Code) and thus the buyer assumes the burden of proof that he did not cause the defect negligently or wilfully. This likely constitutes a legal impossibility evidenced by the fact that you admitted to having damaged the board.

Here is a simple analogy for you: If you buy a car and claim that it didn't start, but then you damage the motor yourself, you also cannot simply go to the car dealer and have them perform an RMA, let alone get a new car. You have to provide court-proof evidence that the car initially was really malfunctioning which is probably impossible after you've damaged the motor. It shouldn't be too hard to understand this situation. To summarise, we have rejected your claim for supplementary performance within the scope of liability for material defects (§ 439 BGB). Due to improper handling, all guarantees and warranties have been voided.

"First it took CK 11 days to respond after they have received the board, wich is a long time in my opinion. "

→ Yes responding to non-standard enquires takes a bit during Christmas time right after a busy Black Friday week at the exact time of a nationwide wave of illness in Germany.

"to TRY to fix the pins for 70€, but there is no guarantee it will work."

→ This is a deliberately cautious phrasing on our part as a precautionary measure since some sockets are so extremely heavily damaged by customers that not even the manufacturer can repair them. Since I don't know who you are, I cannot assess the condition of your board, but if it was not extreme damage, your refusal to simply let the manufacturer repair the board is not making sense.

"even if they can manage to fix the pins, i‘d have payed another at least 70 € to then get a motherboard that is still not working."

→ No, obviously MSI wouldn't have returned a non-working motherboard to you.

Kind Regards

Safe, good quality, amazing options and delivering from Germany to Ireland.

It was a dream of mine to build my own PC. Finally managed to save up enough to do so. When looking to buy parts for my build the Irish websites are too expensive and after some research I came across Caseking de.
When I read some Trustpilot reviews from Ireland and Google reviews from users in Ireland I realised Caseking deliver to Ireland and are a viable option.
Most of my PC parts were ordered from their website including the NV5 with a lot of glass so I was a bit worried.
Everything arrived within a week. No scratch, nothing broken, everything as described. My PC is build and it all works as it should.
Thank you Caseking you gained a customer for life.
Just a little FYI for Irish customers or customers from different countries: Please log in with your account or add items into cart with country chosen as the prices shown on website include German VAT at 19% but for example Ireland is 23% so the value of the items shown will change depending on the country you are from. It was still cheaper than any Irish website though.
Again Thank you Caseking for delivering such a high level service.

Their service is good but the courier they use does not ship you the items in a reasonable time.

This is the fifth time I buy on case king and there is always the same problem.
They ship the parcel, the courier does not know where the parcel is until the parcel arrive in your city.
Tracking is not updating, if you write to the courier's customer care they tell you that they don't know where the parcel is and what is the expected delivery date.
Once the parcel arrives in your city the tracking is updated informing you that the parcel is out for delivery.
You wait a full day at home, the same day in the late afternoon the tracking is updated again informing you that the courier wasn't able to deliver the parcel because there where no one at home.

I give CaseKing one star because this happened 4 times before and this is the fifth time that is happening again.

Your service depends on the courier you choose.
If you use a bad courier, your service is bad.

I'm from Italy, I'm waiting my parcel since ten days and I still don't know where the parcel is and when I will receive it.

Ciao "Davide Perini"

Update:

The order was delivered today, just one day after your negative review.

Original Response:

The order number you indicated here does not belong to you. I can only find a customer account with one order from 2021 with this name in our customer database.

"Your service depends on the courier you choose.
If you use a bad courier, your service is bad."

→ It is *you* who can choose between GLS, UPS, DPD and DHL. If you order is very heavy or bulky, the selection can be reduced.

We are not the parcel company and cannot influence what they do, especially when it comes to international shipping. If one parcel company needs that long to deliver parcels to Italy, then simply select another.
