Our Custom PCs come with a 2 year collect & return warranty which means should there be any hardware failure within 2 years from the date of purchase we will collect the PC , repair and return. Software is excluded from the warranty as is customer induced damage or damage from misuse which includes for example over-clocking or damage caused from opening the PC , etc.

As on option on our Custom PCs and LAPTOPS a 3 year collect & return warranty can be added for an additional cost which means should there be any hardware failure within 2 years from the date of purchase we will collect the PC , repair and return, and in year 3 of your warranty we will include Collection & Return as well as a Zero Labour Fee Promise , Hardware may not be covered in year 3 however we will always verify this with the manufacturer. Software is excluded from the warranty, as is customer induced damage or damage from misuse which includes for example over-clocking or damage caused from opening the PC , etc.. Please note that certain components are excluded by their respective manufacturers from the 3rd year of the of the warranty however if this is the case then we will supply the component for cost price and fit under warranty which means no labour costs.

 

 

COMPONENT & ACCESSORY WARRANTY

Components and Accessories are covered by their respective manufacturers warranty and you should always contact the manufacturers support first. We are however , always here to help, and if you need help or advice please contact our support. Most Manufacturers have returns procedures in place and do not allow us to accept their returns. We cannot accept most components or accessories for return after 30 days from date of purchase however we will always endeavour to assist our customers and we will contact the manufacturer on our customers behalf. If you need to know which manufacturers offer direct support and which do not then please contact our support staff and we will get the information for you. We can also offer advise when warranty is refused by the manufacturer or if you need advice on whether an item is covered by warranty. Customer induced damage for example bent pins on cpus or motherboards or thermal paste on cpu sockets is not covered by warranty nor is physical or accidental damage. When we are dealing with a manufacturer or their agent in relation to a customers component return we are acting on behalf our customer and in the interest of our customer and we will not provide our own technical reports or findings unless requested to do so by our customer. Our customers are welcome to return components to us at anytime during the warranty period however the manufacturer may not accept the return from ourselves which is why we may ask the customer to contact the manufacturer to complete the return and to speak to the support at the manufacturer. In most cases the manufacturers support and returns offer a quicker service than returning to ourselves first however we can always accept the return and provide a technical report to give our customer our opinion as to whether the manufacturer will accept a return under warranty. If a component comes with Extended or Lifetime Warranty from the Manufacturer is it expected by them that you the customer will register your purchase with them to avail of the extended of lifetime warranty so we recommend you do this as soon as you receive your order as not to forget. Manufactuers have the right to refuse warranty and unfortunately they have the last word on the warranty but we will always fight for our customers rights. We do ask customers to be honest and truthful as this will allow us the best opportunity to get the right solution from the manufacturer always. Manufacturers are always suspicious of components handled by home pc builders as they have been opened and handled outside of a professional envirnoment so this is one of the first things manufacturers look at when a component is returned with overclocking being the second item they look for. If a processor , memory or graphics card has been over clocked most if not all manufactures will be able to confirm this as there is a logic gateway which is opened once the component goes beyond a certain level and this does not close and cannot be closed so if open the manufacturer knows the component was overclocked ( this is a simple explanation to the logic gateway only ) so if a component has been overclocked it is best to admit this from the beginning as not providing this detail and it being found is likely to be met by the manufacturer voiding the warranty once they confirm the overclocking took place were as if the overclocking was known about they will on most occasions look past this and look for the reason why the component failed and if the failure was not related to the overclocking most manufacturers will have no issues with covering the warranty however there are expections to this with Intel and AMD who always void warranty were overclocking has taken place so if you overclock a processor you immedietly void your warranty and this is beyond our control. We will always provide information which is the best interest of our customers but it is important that we have the correct and truthful information as without this it is impossible for us to fight for our customer against a manufacturer. We have good relations with almost all of the main manufacturers and our technicians speak with many of the technicians who deal with testing at the manufacturers so we have the means to get information which may be beyond that of a customer placing a return.

 

We are here to always help and provide assistance to our customers and were there is an issue with obtaining warranty from the manufacturer we will always keep the customer informed and provide them with the information we receive from the manufacturer. We will provide accurate information to allow our customers to make the best decisions when it comes to out of warranty components or components where the manufacturer or we have refused warranty.

PC COMPONENT & ACCESSORIES ORDERS

We do not delay and we will always do our best to ship orders as quickly as possible but sometimes living on an island like Ireland can create unforeseen delays for example bed weather can at times add to the delivery times and sometimes the bank holidays in Ireland differ to those in Germany and Europe which can also add to the delivery times. If we are aware of a delay we do try to reach out to the customer to explain the delay and why it has happened and if possible offer an alternative option if the delay is related to stock availability. If the delay is related however to weather or holidays there is very little we can do expect wait. We try to avoid shipping direct from our German warehouse to customers in Ireland however on occasions with delayed orders we can do this to limit the delay. 

Component Orders to Spain , Portugal and Germany are shipped direct from our logistics location in Germany to homes and businesses in each country by Roadfreight with delivery times varying for each country. Spain and Portugal the delivery time is 4-6 business days with the delivery time in Germany being 2-3 business days.

Please note that certain components are excluded by their respective manufacturers from the 3rd year of the of the warranty however if this is the case then we will supply the component for cost price and fit under warranty which means no labour costs.

 

 

COMPONENT & ACCESSORY WARRANTY

Components and Accessories are covered by their respective manufacturers warranty and you should always contact the manufacturers support first. We are however , always here to help, and if you need help or advice please contact our support. Most Manufacturers have returns procedures in place and do not allow us to accept their returns. We cannot accept most components or accessories for return after 30 days from date of purchase however we will always endeavour to assist our customers and we will contact the manufacturer on our customers behalf. If you need to know which manufacturers offer direct support and which do not then please contact our support staff and we will get the information for you. We can also offer advise when warranty is refused by the manufacturer or if you need advice on whether an item is covered by warranty. Customer induced damage for example bent pins on cpus or motherboards or thermal paste on cpu sockets is not covered by warranty nor is physical or accidental damage. When we are dealing with a manufacturer or their agent in relation to a customers component return we are acting on behalf our customer and in the interest of our customer and we will not provide our own technical reports or findings unless requested to do so by our customer. Our customers are welcome to return components to us at anytime during the warranty period however the manufacturer may not accept the return from ourselves which is why we may ask the customer to contact the manufacturer to complete the return and to speak to the support at the manufacturer. In most cases the manufacturers support and returns offer a quicker service than returning to ourselves first however we can always accept the return and provide a technical report to give our customer our opinion as to whether the manufacturer will accept a return under warranty. If a component comes with Extended or Lifetime Warranty from the Manufacturer is it expected by them that you the customer will register your purchase with them to avail of the extended of lifetime warranty so we recommend you do this as soon as you receive your order as not to forget. Manufactuers have the right to refuse warranty and unfortunately they have the last word on the warranty but we will always fight for our customers rights. We do ask customers to be honest and truthful as this will allow us the best opportunity to get the right solution from the manufacturer always. Manufacturers are always suspicious of components handled by home pc builders as they have been opened and handled outside of a professional envirnoment so this is one of the first things manufacturers look at when a component is returned with overclocking being the second item they look for. If a processor , memory or graphics card has been over clocked most if not all manufactures will be able to confirm this as there is a logic gateway which is opened once the component goes beyond a certain level and this does not close and cannot be closed so if open the manufacturer knows the component was overclocked ( this is a simple explanation to the logic gateway only ) so if a component has been overclocked it is best to admit this from the beginning as not providing this detail and it being found is likely to be met by the manufacturer voiding the warranty once they confirm the overclocking took place were as if the overclocking was known about they will on most occasions look past this and look for the reason why the component failed and if the failure was not related to the overclocking most manufacturers will have no issues with covering the warranty however there are expections to this with Intel and AMD who always void warranty were overclocking has taken place so if you overclock a processor you immedietly void your warranty and this is beyond our control. We will always provide information which is the best interest of our customers but it is important that we have the correct and truthful information as without this it is impossible for us to fight for our customer against a manufacturer. We have good relations with almost all of the main manufacturers and our technicians speak with many of the technicians who deal with testing at the manufacturers so we have the means to get information which may be beyond that of a customer placing a return.

 

We are here to always help and provide assistance to our customers and were there is an issue with obtaining warranty from the manufacturer we will always keep the customer informed and provide them with the information we receive from the manufacturer. We will provide accurate information to allow our customers to make the best decisions when it comes to out of warranty components or components where the manufacturer or we have refused warranty.

PC COMPONENT & ACCESSORIES ORDERS

We endeavour to ship component orders quickly but please understand that the bulk of our stock is stored at our logistics facility in Germany so when an order is placed the goods are then shipped to Ireland at the end of each evening which can take 1-5 days depending on the items being ordered. Monitors and large items can only be shipped by Roadfreight to Ireland which means monitors will always take no less than 5 days to arrive with us here in Ireland. We do not offer next day delivery on components to customers in Ireland and delivery on components is estimated at 3-7 business days on average and for larger items 6-9 business days. We do not delay and we will always do our best to ship orders as quickly as possible but sometimes living on an island like Ireland can create unforeseen delays for example bed weather can at times add to the delivery times and sometimes the bank holidays in Ireland differ to those in Germany and Europe which can also add to the delivery times. If we are aware of a delay we do try to reach out to the customer to explain the delay and why it has happened and if possible offer an alternative option if the delay is related to stock availability. If the delay is related however to weather or holidays there is very little we can do expect wait. We try to avoid shipping direct from our German warehouse to customers in Ireland however on occasions with delayed orders we can do this to limit the delay. 

Component Orders to Spain , Portugal and Germany are shipped direct from our logistics location in Germany to homes and businesses in each country by Roadfreight with delivery times varying for each country. Spain and Portugal the delivery time is 4-6 business days with the delivery time in Germany being 2-3 business days.
