    Praise for scan's customer service.

    I think too many people criticize companies for bad customer service and never speak up when they recieve good service so I just wanted to post about how pleased I've been with scan on a recent order I made.

    I ordered a 1 gig stick of corsair XMS ram on monday morning. Chose free delivery(thanks to hexus and scan) and it mentioned I should recieve the item on weds 23rd. This was good as it was only 2 days(and free delivery).

    firstly, I've never come across a company who sends you an e-mail at each stage of your order so you know exactly what is happening. This is only half the reason I'm happy.

    The other half is because when I got home from work today, lo and behold there was a package waiting for me. A (very well protected) stick of ram was inside it. Now considering I wasn't expecting this until tomorrow, I was blown away.

    I just want to thank all the guys at scan(who I know read this board) for your excellent customer service and prices which are among the cheapest round.
    I do know everything, just not all at once. It's a virtual memory problem.

    Good to hear your success story, but a couple of things spring to mind.

    The RAM arrived a day early, so did CityLink pop it through the letterbox, or was someone else available to sign for it?

    Believe it or not, for some folks, a day early is as bad as a day late. Not everyone has someone at home every day ready to sign for an order.

    someone was there to sign for it. I'm lucky that there is always someone available to sign for it I guess. Impressed that it's a day early though.

    So in actual fact, you didn't have anything to do with their customer service department at all?

    I placed a 'time critical' order today with Scan, to see if I just got unlucky the first time.. shall find out come Thursday.

    I think customer service applies just as much to processing/completing an order as it does to contacting them about problems. It is still a service they provide to the customer so I think it applies just as much as anything else.
