Can I Collect direct from your facility in Carlow ?

We cannot offer a collection or drop off service to or from our facility in Carlow. Our Faciliy in Carlow is a secure facility and we

do not have the capability to offer a collection or drop off services so please do not drive to our facility. There can be no flexibility

on this rule so please do not ask.

.

Can i ship returns back with AN POST ?

We do not recommend using AN POST for shipping returns to us due to AN POST allowing their staff to sign for parcels. We have had a number of issues were

items returned to us were listed on the AN POST website as delivered however we had not received the parcels. We are aware multiple parcels shipped to us

were delivered to incorrect addresses and we have tracked down a number of parcels however the concern we have is that parcels can go missing and if you

ship with AN POST our GOODS IN TRANSIT insurance does not covered the return and even is you pay AN POST for Insurance they will not allow a claim as they

will simply state the parcel was delivered and they have a signature. The signature however that of their own staff and not us the recipient. We cannot accept

responsibility for returns until we are in the possession so we recommend using DPD.IE , FASTWAY.IE or GLS.IE to to send returns. The cost may be a little more

however you can be assured the goods will reach us and when we receive you will see on the shippers website that we signed for the parcel.

 .

Can I add to or alter an existing order?

Once your order has been confirmed we are unable to make any alterations to it in any way.

.

Do we have a telephone number or support phone number?

We do not offer phone support and all support enquires related to technical or sales must be made through our Help Desk. Our support staff may on occasion need to contact a customer by phone and we are aware that customers often keep this number or find our internal numbers from other sources however it must be understood that we do not answer calls and as stated all enquiries must be through our Help Desk. We do not advertise a phone number and no numbers are listed on our website or in our emails. Please understand that the reason behind this allows us to provide a far superior support service through our Help Desk which is staffed by qualified and experienced staff. Our Help Desk also allows files such as screengrabs to be shared which allows for issues to be dealt with far quicker than by phone. We removed phone support in 2015 after consultation with our customers. In 2020 we sent an email to 12,000 registered customers asking their opinion on whether they preferred phone of help desk support and the overwhelming answer was 83% of customers who replied prefered support through our Help Desk. Our Help Desk allows tickets to be created by email , contact form , social media posts from Twitter and Facebook as well as live chat.

Earning & Spending Reward Points?

Reward Coins can only be earned by customers who have created an account and place orders from within their account. Orders placed from GUEST ACCOUNTS are not eligible for Reward Points. If an order is placed by a customer with an account who has not logged in then they will not earn points on the purchase and this cannot be changed later. If a customer who has placed an order as a GUEST then later opens an account any order placed as a GUEST is not eligible for Reward Coins and therefore cannot be added later. If Reqard Coins are not awared when an order is placed we cannot add points later. Management decisions are final and reward coins do not have a cash value and can be removed at any stage without notice.

.

Can I cancel an order?

Orders can be cancelled from within your account and depending on the order status you can cancel an order simply by selecting the cancel order option from within your account. If you checked out as a guest without creating an account you will have to create a support ticket however orders may ship or move to a different stage in the time it takes for a support ticket to be answered ( weekends , holidays etc). You can view order stages by clicking on the link on the footer of our website. If we ship an order and it is refused at point of delivery this can be an issue with good in transit insurance and we ask customers to accept delivery and then create an rma. If the goods order was cancelled before the dispatch date we are responsible for the cost of return of cost of collection if however the cancellation was after the dispatch then the cost lies with the customer to return the order. We reserve the right to refuse any returned order which does not have a valid RMA number. We always recommend setting up an account when placing an order as this offers easy cancellation options for orders based on the order stage amd avoids having to send support tickets or emails and waiting for a response. Please refer to Article 7 in our Terms & Conditions for more Information on Cancelling both Component and Custom Product Orders. Account holders can cancel an order from within their account or by emailing sales@custompc.ie and Guest Checkout Customers can cancel an order by emailing sales@custompc.ie .

Do I have to pay for return postage?

If you’re returning an item to us by post or courier , you will need to cover the cost for postage and packaging. Custom PCs & Laptops Include Collect & Return Warranty.

We recommend only using a recorded delivery service and it is important to ensure any item being return is packed safely. It is also reccomended to insure and item being returned and this should be arranged with your carrier. If an item is refused when delivery is attempted then the liability is passed to the customer until the item is returned to us and accepted in good order. We do not recommend refusing a delivery as this means the order is no longer insured and should the item be lost or damaged the cost falls on the person who refused delivery. We cannot accept deliveries / returns unless the RMA number is clearly shown on the exterior of the box.
