I would be very careful of buying anything from Scan computers unless
you are able to go and collect the item yourself they are not all that
bothered about trying to pass on returned items I have caught them out
a few times when I have been over for one thing or another. I have
been a customer for quite a few years now but I am only 15 miles away
from them so can go and buy in person . Make no mistake they are the
best and cheapest in Lancashire and there isn't much that they do not
keep stock of but buying from them mail order is a definer no no you
may get the chance of lining the pockets of Royal mail or some other
carrier retuning faulty or second customer goods to them .
If you can go in person I can recommend Scan .

Worse than Ebuyer?¿ Wow, respect! With all the messing around by Ebuyer
over the years, and their we don't know and don't want to know attitude
- they have never managed to send me used/2nd hand stuff.

Had plenty of missing parts and some which had to replaced twice before
they sent 1 that worked.
Once they took just under 30 days to send me a USB KVM of which they had
loads of stock. Must have called them 4 or 5 times before someone could
finally be bothered to intervene and get the damn thing posted.

Thanks for your input! I will certainly shop around to see who else
sells them, before I decide on a place to buy from.

The adaptor is my emergency plan only anyway. I am really looking for a
nice combo Cordless DECT phone (Pstn & VoIP).

Kind Regards

Don't get me wrong Scan are not shipping out faulty goods by the van
load but thy do try it on ,last week I went over for a mobo and on
checking it at the collection point I discovered that the sata cables
where loose in the box usually they are in see through packaging plus
the cables looked like they had been out. This must have been about
the fifth mobo that they have tried to pass on to me in that state
and I have a friend in Blackpool another long standing customer who
has had similar experiences it was he who first introduced me to Scan.

Ya, small margin, limited warehouse space, short product life span -
they are trying every trick in the book. :(

Kind Regards

They are not short of space their site at Horwich Nr Bolton is very
large plus by all accounts they have a second warehouse they can't be
doing so bad either they close down at every bank holiday and take two
weeks at Christmas every year . Must outlets seem to be eager to
remain open every hour God sends Aria in Manchester another fairly
large computer component retailer never seems to close hardly but Scan
make a point of closing at every opportunity.

Ughh! PLEASE can we have a special newsgroup for Skype!!

Remove 'no_spam_' from email address.

I saw no mention on the website ([url]www.sipdiscount.com[/url] ?) about having
ones own phone number for incoming calls. Sounds good.
