Scan has a build quality second to none, My previous system (3900x with 2080ti) lasted 8 years. I had a strange experience with Scan Finance which is how I purchased my last system 8 years ago.... See more

Custom 3XS Build

I bought a custom build in September and the whole team did amazing. I feel like each person, no matter how much they did, went above and beyond.

From my memory, Callum was the first person I spoke to, about configurator issues and availability of items the first time I tried to use the configurator. When I decided to go through with it and Rafay had put together the pro forma with the RAM swap, Callum was the one trying to arrange the payment. Unfortunately PayPal approved me for a lower limit than I expected, and then the credit wouldn't let the payment go through at all. Callum and Rafay both put up with my disappointment, and even though they couldn't do much, they still made me feel like if I came back I'd be okay to buy the PC.

After so many failed payment attempts I came back and spoke to Rafay. He scrapped the old pro forma, drafted a new one with all my changes and kept me updated on stock. Since PayPal clearly wasn't going to work, Callum sorted out Novuna finance instead, and we finally got the payments through. I also needed a DP cable, and Rafay didn't want to add it to the financed order and make it convoluted, so he walked me through paying for it separately over the phone. Even though it was stressful, by the end they shared, to an extent, the joy I felt buying it.

While I waited for the PC, Josh kept me updated on what was going on. When there was an issue with the GPU and the build got delayed, I was told straight away, and offered alternatives when I physically couldn't receive the packages. The whole team was very responsive to all my last minute changes, and I appreciate everyone's patience, because it was probably a hassle dealing with me. I'm just a very specific person.

Thank you to Greg as well, who passed my questions on to the right people when I needed it.

Rafay just happened to be the one who got me in the customer lottery, so he ended up doing the most, but I'm sure every one of them does the same for whoever they get. Callum, Rafay, Josh and Greg, thank you all, you're doing a great job.

Helpful delivery options

I was able to find everything that I wanted. I was even able to pre order a case that I could not find anywhere else.
The site was easy to navigate.
Suprised to find that there is no free delivery unless you pick up. This was actually ok in the end as there was a large array of delivery options from very speedy next day as well as various pick up location options.

Website excellent and easy to use

Website excellent and easy to use, check-out fast and painless. Phone service not so good; got put on hold waiting to ask about a pre-order item for nearly five minutes and eventually gave up. I've used scan many times in the past, and their prices and good and delivery excellent.

Seagate 12Tb SAS HDD

Ordered 2 Seagate 12Tb SAS HDD. Registered them with Seagate for warranty no problems there. Fitted one, worked fine, the other would not come "ready". Made a warranty claim with Seagate who would not honour as the drive was part of a batch sold to an OEM integrator, and that I would have to take it up with them. Scan issued a RMA then stated there were dents in the drive casing once they inspected it.
They seem to be selling B grade goods. I'll take this up with my card provider for reimbursement.
AVOID THESE SCAMMERS!!!

Thank you for your review Ian.

We’re sorry you feel this way and that your return has come to this, but we do want to clarify what has happened.

Our returns process when returning for a fault involves checking the packaging and condition of the item when it comes back to us, and we document the unboxing of the return. When the drive was inspected, physical damage was found to the casing.

Unfortunately, where physical damage is present, this can override the reported fault and can prevent us from accepting the item as a warranty return.

We know this is frustrating and in our efforts to find a fair resolution for you we have offered to send the drive to the manufacturer for further inspection. Our Technical Returns Manager will be reaching out to you directly to discuss the next steps and the options available. We hope that by speaking with you directly we can move things forward; however, due to the physical damage identified, we do need to be transparent that there is a possibility the manufacturer may not accept the item under warranty.

All the best,
Team Scan - OT

I purchased a cloud server for a week…

I purchased a cloud server for a week and couldn't figure out how to access the rented hardware. When I contacted support, it turned out they were using manual deployment and that it would happen tomorrow, even though the workday had ended half an hour earlier.
This didn't work for me and I asked for a refund. They didn't refuse, but they also didn't agree, simply brushing me off by saying they'd contact me tomorrow. I countered by saying, "I can't wait until tomorrow. I need the cloud now, and I'm renting it elsewhere, so I'm asking for a refund." After that, they brushed me off again.
I understand that the workday is over, but I think it should be written in big red letters that deployment is manual and only during work hours, otherwise people like me end up in trouble.

Hi Kiborg,

We’d like to clarify a few points regarding your order.

Your order was temporarily held for a fraud/security review due to a foreign payment card being used and the address details provided requiring additional verification. Given the value and nature of the hardware being accessed, these checks are necessary and cannot simply be bypassed.

Our DGX Spark service is manually provisioned because customers receive bare-metal access to the hardware rather than access to a standard shared virtual environment.

You first contacted us at approximately 18:10, and despite this being outside the normal provisioning window, our team completed the checks and had you onboarded and live by approximately 18:45 that same evening.

For that reason, we don’t feel it is accurate to suggest that you were left waiting until the following day or simply brushed off, as access was provided around 35 minutes after your first contact with us.

You subsequently requested a refund, so we are now removing access to the hardware and refunding the payment in full.
We’re sorry the service ultimately wasn’t suitable for you, but we do feel the above context is important to accurately reflect what happened.

As always Scan pricing is competative… BUT

As always Scan pricing is competative and the range of products is extensive. A+ for that. However this is first time I have boiught anything in a while and the checkoput process was painfull. It kept getting stuck and I had to re-enter the details multiple times before it finally worked. Come on Scan you can do better i know you can.

Thank you for taking the time to leave your review, Simon.

We’re really sorry to hear about the issues you experienced during checkout and appreciate how frustrating this must have been, particularly as someone who has shopped with Scan before.

We take feedback like this seriously and want to understand what happened and whether there is anything we need to address on our side. Our Customer Experience team has reached out to you directly so we can look into this in more detail.

It is good to see you were able to overcome the problem you encountered and that your order was delivered to you earlier today.

All the best,
Team Scan - OT

Long Wait

I really dislike that when clicking on Braintree to forward payment, there is a very long wait where the screen does not show progress. It can't be too hard to provide a moving symbol to show that something is happening. Everything else seems fine.

Thank you for your feedback, Brian.

We have tried to replicate the issue you experienced with the payment provider but haven't been able to do so at this time. Whilst we aim to make the payment process as smooth as possible, there can occasionally be delays to the payment system outside of our control.

We appreciate you bringing this to our attention and will raise it with our web team for further investigation.

Thank you for persevering with your order, and we look forward to welcoming you back to Scan in the future.

All the best,

Got a nice new keyboard

Got a nice new keyboard at a nice price, delivered the next day.
I have been a Scan customer for a few years now, and I have always been happy with the service.
Even when things go wrong, like they sometimes do, they're quick to act, which I'm glad to say is not often.
