I much prefer OCUK to **ahem**, Love the deals etc. they have.

As for paypal, why bother? it's not all it's cracked up to be and you can use a debit card to purchase... i did
 
Meh, prices constantly fluctuate, I use 3 e-tailers, all are as good as the other, whichever gives me the cheapest deal at the time I want to buy gets my custom.
 
Best thing about OCUK, IS the fact everytime I've ordered something, It's arrived, It's been well packed and it's worked.

Can't say the same for the other 2 E-Tailers that are direct competition to OCUK. Even if they are £5-£10 cheaper at times


As for paypal, It'd be nice.

Being able to use Paypal is a nice convenience, however I have free delivery from Multiplay i30 LAN for a competitor, it comes via courier and it isnt next day but it is always 1-2 days.

I would order a lot more from OCUK if it did something similar as the P&P really does make a difference if im buying say RAM x for £85 its going to cost me £85 from competitor or £85 + £5 or so P&P from here.
 
I'm afraid competitor rules aren't flexible - not when it's a direct competitor.

I don't mind discussions of paypal, shipping and so on - it's good feed back for OcUK, just don't give our competitors adverts on our bandwidth :)

We are looking into PayPal & Google Checkout currently but key is trying to get the fees down...

Watch this space!

I have to say my last two orders have been appalling packaged :/

I received 4GB of ram today that arrived with no padding whatsoever - only their plastic clear covers with a city link plastic bag around them (to no doubt embark on a journey around the back of a van :(), which left one of the boxes missing a corner. This is the second time this has happened and the first time the person replying regarding the webnote left to them said that "..[he'd] look into it".

One thing about two competitors I can think of is that they package things very well and charge less for P&P.

personally i think that the postage thing seriously lets down ocuk.... some competitors do free postage over a certain amount, i reckon oc should look in to doing somthing like that

yeah same for me. I received a new motherboard today and it wasen't very well packed and the plastic cover to protect the motherboard was cracked :/

Other than that OCUK have been great both for service and prices.

Google Checkout please! That would then stop me using my debit card online and help against potentially issues I thinks. Plus I like logging spending on Google.

(Sure they have my details, but chances are Google has yours too :D)
 
I'm a bit peeved at this weeks offer on the OC'ed Q6600 system they got, dropped it to £749 ex. VAT! (£880 inc.)
OCed system cheap!

My system in sig (with Vista as well mind) was £860 total and the pre-built one is marginally better. Thats what makes this site unique.

However, if i was to buy the aprts i did on this site, my system would be near the £1000 mark, being more expensive on every single part i bought. It's swings and roundabouts.
