    PcBuyIt - anyone used them?

    Anyone here used PcBuyIt before? What are your thoughts on them?

    I'm going to be buying a Dell 3008WFP soon, after several hard months of saving, and PcBuyIt seem to be the cheapest - plus they have this dead pixel guarantee to boot.

    So... are they a Scan or an OCUK ????

    Thumbs up Re: PcBuyIt - anyone used them?

    Yup. I bought both my 24" Dell 2407WFP's off them.

    Absolutely amazing service! Both were delivered next day.
    I didn't order the second one until around 3.30pm in the afternoon, but it was still delivered first thing the following morning nonetheless

    AND I got a 4 year warranty with each of them as well

    Although I haven't used them I have heard a lot of good things about them from a lot of different people. So use them with confidence

    Re: PcBuyIt - anyone used them?

    Actually one more question:

    What's the deal with these exclusive forum offers, a la:

    PcBuyIt :

    which is ~£30 less than the non forum offer price. There doesn't seem to be any obvious information on what the stipulations are. In fact, I can't even find the forum...

    Re: PcBuyIt - anyone used them?

    The forum offers are open to anybody who can find them, they're just not linked to from anywhere else on the PcBuyIt site. I got my Dell 2408WFP from them, having googled and found the forum offer.

    Plus they have a very quick turn around with email questions if you have any, which is a bonus.
    If you can't keep up, stick with reality...

    Re: PcBuyIt - anyone used them?

    PCBuyIt are definitely a company I recommend. I've put their dead pixel guarantee to the test when my monitor developed a dead pixel, and they got it replaced next day with no hassle. As hibby mentioned they also reply to emails extremely quickly.
