1st class service

1st class service. I had a problem with my purchase and StudentsComputers could not have corrected the fault any better than they did. I have given 5 stars but would have given more if I could have.

Excellent service

I bought an ipad air 10.5 for £90.00 cheaper than the £479 cartel price. I was kept informed at each stage of the process and it was delivered free of charge 2 days later. Excellent service.

what A company

Wish all companies were as good. I purchased this printer at a great deal cheaper than any new or refurbished anywhere on the net. This one was refurbished but when arrived if it hadn’t been for the fact it was not in the original box I would have sworn in was brand new, even the lead’s looked like they have never been used, also the ink tanks were full to the brim ( this was an eco tank printer). The icing on the cake was the printer arrived less than 24 hours after I ordered it POSTAGE FREE.........what a company

Super Customer Care.

I placed an online order recently for a refurbished Epson Ecotank ET 2600. Delivered it promptly but it was not functioning well; it was pre-filled with ink, however print outcome was poor and it does not receiving black ink. Contacted customer service and I was surprised with their response. I was told to get rid that and they send out me another new printer next working day. Excellent.

Laptop purchase

The service from Student computers was nothing short of excellent. The laptop I purchased was refurbished rated at A- however it was as new when I received it working faultlessly. In addition the ordering and free delivery process was excellent. The price point of the laptop was also excellent.
I would not hesitate to recommend them and would buy again from them without hesitation.
