Dabs.com or ebuyer?
 
Anyone got any recommendations for which one to use?

They both stock the item that I want, but I want to know what people think of them, are they reliable, that sort of thing?

Keep it nice and friendly with the descriptions ;)

Ta! :)

I think I'd go for dabs.

Although I've never had a problem in all the years I've used ebuyer - a fair few people have.

I've not used Dabs. Ebuyer are allright when things go right, but can be a bit of a nightmare when they get things wrong.

ive used both and never had any problems with either. Ive not use DAB's for a long time but their prices look good these days. Based upon the difficulty of contacting Ebuyer i think i would go for DAB's if i could

I have used Dabs. They've not done me wrong yet. Goods always shipped quickly, and well packed. I have only sent something back once, but it went well enough. I use them whereever possible.

I have bought one thing from Ebuyer as a sort of trial. It went OK. Nothing special.

Dabs can't trust Ebuyer if its wrong you will spend months trying to get it changed

I use dabs, as they provide a no hassle service with prompt delivery. Only used e-buyer once and they dropped the ball! (could have been coincidental of course)

The problem with Ebuyer is that it is very hard to get in contact with them if you end up having problems.
So Dabs gets my vote.

Thanks for everyone's advice upto now. :) Dabs is in front at the moment.

Dabs are ahead by a nose IMHO, but ebuyer have cleaned up their returns and CS (though it is all email these days) in the last few months, and put their past problems behind them (in my book anyway).

A mate of mine bought a mobo and a cpu from Dabs and got the wrong mobo for the cpu (or vice versa)...

Dabs took the mobo back no worries and he ordered another which dispite the manufactureres website STILL did not support a prescott P$ cpu.

Dabs took it back no worries.

Therefore, Dabs would get my vote.

Hope this helps.

Ordered a few things from ebuyer on Sunday for standard delivery on Thursday. Delivery upgraded free of charge to Tuesday when they arrived at 09:30am, everything present and correct and working fine. Have used ebuyer for a very long time and never had a problem with them.

Hmm hard one this, Dabs, not a good word to say for them and personally I would never order from dabs again in my lifetime. E-Buyer is cheap and cheerfull, if what you get works your onto a winner.

My vote though Goes for SCAN (www.scan.co.uk) cos ive never had a single problem with them ever, even a graphics card that had died months later and they sent a new one and picked the old one up at the same time - cannot say fairer than that tbh.
