    What do you guys think on www.alza.co.uk?

    I've seen a few pc parts on there the last couple of days and they seem cheaper than anywhere else. I think the last thread on here discussing the site was 2015. What do you guys think about it now?

    TrustPilot reviews are a mix bag but the company sounds pretty legit if you are from Czechia. Anyone had any experience from them?

    Looking to buy a MSI Meg x570 Godlike MB.

    Given you had problems with a previous company sending out what you ordered, I'd avoid.

    If you do want to chance it then make sure it’s on credit card so you can do a chargeback if needed.

    At best that looks like a grey market site alongside the likes of eglobal et al. Avoid at all costs.
    At worst it's a scam site that will steal your money. Again avoid at all costs.

    They seem to accept Paypal payment too, which gives a degree of protection. It might be worth checking with MSI as to whether their warranty applies if you buy from Alza...it might be that you have to buy from an 'approved' dealer to have their warranty? The Alza price is suspiciously low though...as the saying goes, "if it seems too good to be true..."
