It was.
Not sure if in-process RMA would complicate things, but ordinarily you can claim on the card if the supplier goes bust.
Oh wow, can't say I've had a good experience buying from them in the past, though this was years ago now. Admittedly, sometimes they've had a few good deals, but as others have said, RMA process they had was absymal, so I've steered clear of them for a long time.

As you've already started the RMA process, I guess you'd have to wait to see if they end up going bust. If they do, worth putting in a claim under Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act:
How can I get my money back if a company goes bust? - Which?
It’s not uncommon for companies to fail. But what happens if you haven’t received a product or service from a company that goes bust? Find out what to do.

Haven't used them since 2007 for any personal purchases - didn't think it was that long ago. Used them sporadically a little bit after that for business type purchases, etc. They got left behind in my experience by other companies for the customer service experience so I didn't really have a reason to use them.
awful to deal with in my experience, a few years ago now admittedly - but got the general feeling that hadn’t improved much. though they did have some good deals/pricing on occasion, especially through their eBay store. Shame for all those that have lost their jobs and those that have/will lose money on purchases.
It's being going that way for years since Jeff Bezos rise.
Used them once in 2018. Ordered a graphics card one night and when I woke up next day it had dropped £100 in price. I messaged them to check if I would get a refund on the difference as it had not even been 12 hours. They refused completely. I tried to cancel the order that morning (still less than 12 hours after order) and they ignored me and shipped that evening. I never actually got a response after that at all so I never used them again.
That's why I try not to use them, and I mean for anything, not just PC hardware.
The issue is that "they" the ones you are talking about are so big that returning things is as easy as popping off to ASDA and getting a bar code scanned. People will use them, I think "they" are the main reason our high streets are dead.
Hate to see people lose their jobs.
Less competition never good.
Think the last time I used them was circa five years ago for a mini itx with embedded CPU I couldn't get elsewhere.
Had to rma it and they were fine
This was some time ago though.
