Oh, and another supplier you can add to the list that's reliable, is www.xoxide.com over in the states, they're good for modding supplies etc, shipping as a bit slow though, took nearly a month to get some thumbscrews shipped over, but worth it making sure they were legit.

http://www.legionenterprises.co.nz Anybody know much about these guys? Things seem rather cheap, so I'd love to buy some stuff from them IF they're legit.

Edit: Guess I'll find out for myself, been told by 'NZGramps' that they're all good, so hopefully receiving my ATX modding kit in the mail very soon =D

 
based on one purchase, but you should be sweet, got mine within couple of days.

Bought a keyboard off CL at around 3:30pm. Arrived here at 10:00am (Auckland to Gisborne, free). If that is bad service or excessive charges, I'll be a donkeys ass.

Rubbish. Free shipping and they'll drop everything to help you when needed. I've had multiple things come up with cl where they were more than helpful. For example a hard drive I got from c1 died, cl rma'd it for me even though I didn't buy it from them.

CL have been fine with me in the last couple of months and thats on 4 seperate occasions, i can't really much fault with their prices nor service.

Even when i first dealt with them and had problems with their authentication system they handled the situation well.

Huge +1 for Mighty Ape. I ordered something on Friday and it arrived today even though:

Roads into Invercargill are closed by snow.
Airport is closed.


Unless it arrived on the weekend (unlikely because the roads and airport was closed yesterday), they must have used magic to get it here.

Yeah been pretty happy with CL. My only grump was when I found their reward Dollars are apparently only worth 10 cents, which makes the name kind of a lie

more excellent service from playtech.

Ordered some stuff through Playtech: PSU, RAM and BF3 preorder :) The RAM I ordered was out of stock so they rung me today to let me know that and upgraded me to better RAM at no additional charge. 10/10 would shop again.

I see that Expert InfoTech is a "reliable supplier", but has a 'dubious' RMA response time.

I enquired with another retailer to price match a product that Expert Info had in stock but was told they couldn't due to certain reasons and to be careful when ordering via Expert Infotech because of their warranty services.

Can anyone shed some light on this? I am thinking about ordering something from Expert Infotech but am a little hesitant.

yes, but, I do think einfo does it for you, you send to them, they send away, you wait 37 months and get repaired item back ;)
