Definitely use Dabs. Don't touch Ebuyer with a barge pole. Dabs might be slightly more expensive, but they are a big company with a fairly good reputation.
Ebuyer on the other hand although are very competitive with their pricing, their customer service/after sales is horrendous! If you have to replace/exchange anything, the only way you can contact them is by email and they can take up to six weeks to get back to you.
I have bought a lot of kit from both of them for my company in the past and would go for Dabs everytime betwen these two.

Some other good online stores are: Scan.co.uk, Aria.co.uk and Overclockers.co.uk

Well, I ordered the monitor yesterday morning from dabs and as it was my first order with them, I only had the option of the 1-3 day delivery.

It was delivered by parcelforce today at 10:30

Touch wood, everythings seems okay, upto now

Thanks for everyone's advice

Both places are VERY good if you dont have to return anything - then it becomes a living nightmare.

I wouldnt use either of them.

I use dabs or scan, In fact I have just ordered a new PSU, SATA drive CPU cooler and DVD+-RW from them.. should be sent out today

Can I just say, that over the last two weeks I have returned two things to ebuyer (manufacturers to blame) and the both items have been tested and refunded on the day that RM delivered them

Its the Sheffield warehouse if anybody is interested, maybe things are changing for the good..the items look to of been actually tested too, with an actual reason given rather than the old 'Item found faulty'

Ebuyer

Always found E-buyer very cheap and reliable. Just be 100% sure of what you are ordering.

Mal · 17-06-2005, 21:45

Bit of an old thread eh?

Everything is done and dusted

Like I said above, I ordered the item on the morning from dabs.com and I got it the next morning. This was even after they said, as a first time user, it could be upto 3 days delivery.

Dabs was actually cheaper than ebuyer as well...

Ahhh, I just thought i'd be seen as a suckup if I started a thread on it ;o

Ebuyer seem to have a lot of stuff and are good, however they dissapoint in shipping taking longer sometimes and are hard to get hold of when needing to contact sales/ returns departments.

I've always found overclockers to be very fast and efficient.

jtwn · 17-07-2005, 23:36

Let me reiterate, I don't work for ebuyer or are biased to any company (I am a consumer all I care is the best deal and service for me) before I give some praise again

Really don't think ebuyer deserve such a bad rap as they seem to get, noticed they brought back the phone support + stats that some people might find useful if contacting them - http://www.ebuyer.com/customer/help/...9pbmZv&_LOC=UK

I've had trouble with both, I'd say avoid!!

Echoing other comments I find dabs are great as long as you don't have a problem and have to spend your life emailing customer services because in this brave new technological world you can't speak to them (although corporate customers can. No logic there Mr Atherton). Don't ever order anything that isn't in stock. I waited weeks for my laptop which perpetually showed as expected within 1-3 days. I did point out to them after a while that they should take the 1-3 day message down as they now knew it to be untrue; the didn't.

Having said that, when goods are in stock they whizz em out. I put in my last order in late afternoon and it was here 7.30 next day.

I have a corporate account with both, ebuyer are nothing but a headache
