I buy from e-buyer almost every week and have never had any problems. :)

I'll attempt to make some mature comments about Ebuyer, IF you get your items on time, IF they're the right items, IF you don't have to return them and IF you don't live in Northern Ireland (huge delivery fee) then Ebuyer are the cheapest place to buy bits from, however, in my experience, if you do get any problems with the above then you're in for a bumpy ride, and pem, if you're ordering every week, you've too much money and should lend me some. :D

I used to use ebuyer in the past and deiliveries can be a pain the arse. I did start to have my parcls delivered to work, but people at work started to get nosey.

So I use Dabs instead now.

Is that no problems as in 'I never had to return items', or as in 'When I need to return something their staff are helpful, courteous, and very swift in solving the problem'.

If it's the first, you are probably very lucky. It it's the second, it looks like you may be getting preferential treatment because you order so often. ;)

I have only had to return one item in the last 12 months - and that was a resonably painless operation as I recall. I should point out that I am a both an ebuyer@work customer and an ebuyer@home customer and I have found no difference using either account.

If you live in the Nottingham and surrounding are, don't use any supplier that uses Initial City Link as the Courier, they lose goods, say that you were not in when they attemted delievery when you were, make you drive all the way to Ilkeston(their depot) and then tell you they can't find you parcel, and they don't answer their phones either.

Sorry for OT rant, but felt it needed to be said.

Jon

edit: Oh, and forgot to mention, last two deliveries(very late) from City Link have been battered around to the point of the protective packaging not existing in places.

That does sound like good service. I suppose I'm a bit biased because they managed to s***w up twice on one order, which meant I had to wait close to a month to have my new pc built. Having said that, I have ordered from them since without problems.

Staff? At Ebuyer? Have you ever tried to raise them on the phone, I swear there's one person in customer service with a really sh*te attitude .. a mr or mr's "E note" :D

LOL!!!! Yes, the e-note system is horrible. Raise an e-note and wait for three days to get an answer ('No, we will not reimburse for the postage you had to pay because we sent you the incorrect item. At present we are considering charging you for returning an item.')

I have actually managed to speak to someone on the phone, and that person was helpful, but the e-note system is a joke...

You must have been really pleased with their 'you cannot raise a new e-note until your previous one has been answered' policy... If we ignore our disgruntled customers long enough they may just disappear in a puff of smoke, and not ask for their money back... I'd much rather deal with NTL ;)
