I've been using it over the past few days to spec builds for a couple of friends and I like using it now. Nowhere near as bad as people on here are making out!

The window pop up every time you add something to basket asking if you want to carry on shopping or goto basket doesnt bother you ?

Not to mention being able to remove things without going to your basket directly.

I've grown used to it now.

Its OK but I prefer the old site.

I expect OcUK have got more business now because of the amount of people who would previously enter the site and leave immediately because of the out-dated feel.

I can personally confirm that the customer service is the same, as is the Haribo distribution.

I ran a £multi-mil ecommerce store for 5 years and over 50% of our traffic was tablet/mobile so responsive/mobile friendliness was crucial. Granted OcUK visitors are likely more desktop than tablet/mobile but that's still a big chunk of lost conversions (revenue).

Old site was spot on for mobile devices.

I didnt get no Haribo with my £120 PSU or my GTX 670 a couple years back, I even made a post about it, was quite amusing. I'll see if I can find it.

Edit
Found it

Looking good!

the new site is ok, but i found the old site a lot better / quicker for when im building / spec out parts for people.

TBH I really like it, used it a few times and have had no problems whatsoever, I prefer the way finding things work aswell.

Was just browsing https://www.overclockers.co.uk/dell...reen-led-monitor-midnight-grey-mo-080-de.html - tried to return to the homepage by clicking the logo and got a 404 error: "Error 404 - OOOOOPS, ... AN ERROR HAS OCCURRED."

Ouch - way to kill your SEO OcUK

EDIT: seems to apply to any page - appears your homepage has vanished

Just checked and seems to be fine to me. Try refresh by using [Ctrl] + [F5] and let me know is that does help

It's back now. Can assure you it wasn't due to browser cache

tomekkk1 · 28 Dec 2015 at 11:37

Once you have found #404 that wasn't your browser cache problem. However full refresh ([Ctrl] + [F5]) makes you see the website in working order faster - as you replace old cookies (left in your PC) with new ones

Anyway, #404 - probably that was temporary server issue

I did a paypal order on boxing day and not sure it went through, I've sent them a web note.

What's strange is that I got a page which was all in German!

Sencha · 29 Dec 2015 at 10:04

The design is OK. Prefer the old cleaner one. But the way its effected the service is horrible. The last 2 things I've bought have shown in stock only to never get dispatched. I then contact you guys and get told its been allocated to other orders yet still its showing in stock on the website, and no one's contacted me to let me know. Ordered a new case yesterday for a build I was doing today and got dispatch email last night.....only for DPD to contact me this morning to tell me they haven't got the parcel from you guys. Basically terrible service since new website. At this stage its hard to see why I should keep ordering with you. Certainly wouldn't recommend to others at the moment.

Liked the old site much more but I am getting used to the new one but it is annoying sometimes.

Jay662 · 31 Dec 2015 at 16:05

Have just tried using the new site to find some stuff, gave up. It's incredibly busy and not easy on the eye.

cjbagnall · 2 Jan 2016 at 13:47

Really dislike the new website, I'm finding it more awkward to find products I want, way too busy. The old website was far better than this, shame.

gr0d0n · 2 Jan 2016 at 14:14

I'm not a fan of the new site at all, I really miss the bar down the left hand side. It made it so much easier to browse and find what you need.

FuF · 2 Jan 2016 at 16:22

Only used it a few times, but it seems to do the same function as before with a few more bells and whistles. And looks a lot more modern I guess. Being a bit conservative I may not agree that the change was needed, but hey, not my website

Matty_Boy · 11 Jan 2016 at 09:16

I tried to choose an alternative (and existing) delivery address on my order at the weekend and the website just kept on giving an error. In the end I had to retype the alternate delivery address into the order, even though it's present on the saved addresses. Bit of a shambles really.

Just been looking for a new itx motherboard, why can I not filter by form factor?
Such basic functionality totally missing which all of your competitors have and more, its a very poor design choice to limit the filter options to basically nothing.

But hey on the plus side at least I click on a nice large picture of Lara Croft on the left of my screen which I'm not interested in one little bit, and which takes up 2/3rds of screen space.

Btw bought an ITX motherboard from elsewhere in about 10 seconds.
