    Best online companies for RMAs in the UK??

    I about to buy a new power supply for my PC and I was wondering which of the online computer component resellers in the UK have the best returns policy for faulty items!! I usually use Scan,Ebuyer or Dabs for buying new bits.

    I am just asking since you can never be too careful with a power supply!!

    Re: Best online companies for RMAs in the UK??

    I can't comment on the stores themselves since it has been a long time since I RMA-ed anything to them (Scan, ~5 years ago, not pretty). What I've found out is that online retailers tend to redirect you to the manufacturers if the device fails after a few weeks (or maybe a month). Given that, I'll comment on the RMA service of Enermax, which I've had to return once. Simply put, the service I received was flawless, I was sent back a brand new unit sealed in the original retail box.

    Rexo for Samsung are brilliant, sent back 2 80gb IDE drives and got 2 200gb IDE drives back. I even soldered one of the drives (pin) to get it working to get my data off before I sent it back aswell!

    Enermax are the best that I've used by a long way. You will be dealing with the retailer for the first 12 months for most things, but I have to say that Enermax have been fantastic, and even cross shipped me a PSU a couple of times, and also upgraded me to a newer spec PSU

    Kustom are superb, can't rate them highly enough. Crucial are as well.

    Re: Best online companies for RMAs in the UK??

    EBUYER! Found a fault in my system, 1 week old pc wouldnt boot. Didnt know what the problem was, shortlisted PSU RAM and MOBO collected by Ebuyer courier (city link) on a Tuesday, all items replaced and received on the Friday 3 days later, collection and return FREE. That was within their 28 day warranty. When it comes to manufacturer warranty im sure they're the same.
    My Rig - 2x Dell 24" 2407WFP A04 / Fractal Define XL / Asus P5K-E / Q6600 G0 @ 3.0Ghz - AF7 / 4GB Corsair RAM / 520W Corsair PSU / 4890PCS+ / 8TB HDD

    Re: Best online companies for RMAs in the UK??

    I've only had to RMA a couple of things, an old Antec PSU, went very smoothly, only con back then I had to ship to Antec Netherlands which cost a packet.
    RMAed DOA RAM module from Microdirect, went super smooth too.

    The RMA services I've had from Scan and Dabs have both been excellent, offering refunds on products that became faulty after a few months (or in one case, never really worked at all, but I took almost 8 months fiddling with the card in different PCs trying to get it working).
