PCSpecialist Appreciation Thread

Running the risk of sounding like a 13yr old “fanboy” I thought it would be a good idea to start this thread for several reasons.

1. Credit where credit is due
With PCS processing thousand(s?) of orders a month, the relatively light negative feedback (on this forum) is a testament to the quality product PCS provides.

2. Helpful staff
Be it on the phone, online support, email or through the forum, the PCS staff have shown an infinite amount of patience. I know what its like to answer the same question a thousand times trying to educate the uneducated and ignorant on how you are doing your best with the resources you have at hand.

3. After sales support
This is linked to point 2. To many companies nowadays are happy to disregard the customer once they have pocketed your hard earned cash. PCS do actually care about their product and customer enough to value the customer (after they have pocketed your hard earned cash)


I am a returning customer and currently have an order in. But i am secure in the knowledge that -

1. My (bespoke) pc will be put together to a high standard - unlike the mass produced overpriced dross that some high street shops sell to the happily ignorant casual shopper. Usually by some slick salesperson who appears to know “everything” about computers and your needs (yes, you know what company im talking about)

2. In the unlikely chance my pc does go wrong, i know i can rely on friendly knowledgable staff (based in the uk) that do not patronise, do not read from a script and get straight to the problem at hand.

Anyway, i know this is probably best in “Testimonials” but after seeing a few “my pc isn’t working” and “I still haven’t got my order” threads, i thought this would be a good place for it.

So lets hear your stories (good or bad) on your experiences with PCSpecialists. :)
(and/or any particular staff members :p)

I think i should avoid this thread for now!
 
I have a friend who recommended this company to me after he purchased his computer from them. Since then I have placed an order, however, I am still waiting for arrival of this order and have been doing so since it went into processing at the 17th of September. It went into pre-production on the 21st of September and there has been no progress since then. I have recently learned about the delays caused by the HAF 22 case and have since then changed the case in the hope that the order will enter into the in building stage. I have now learned that something else may be causing the delay but I am unable to check this without going into amend order and committing to a change in the order. This automatically generates a sub order and I personally think that there must be a better way to inform the customer of any delays. I have sent two messages, one today regarding the status of my order, I did not receive a reply for the first message and I am hoping that this will not be the case with the most recent message.

After saying this I do have some good things to say about PC Specialist, I like how they respond to questions on the forums and how they take the time to answer these questions with as much detail as possible, even to the point of including screen shots to illustrate their instructions. I have also found the people I have spoken to in the times I spent on the phone to the call centre and reading these forums to be friendly and knowledgeable and I am sure that there are a lot of companies that do not provide the level of after sales service that PC Specialist does.

I cannot comment on the condition of the hardware purchased from the company as of yet due to not having received the order. But I will be happy to post my feedback once I receive it. I may even post some pictures.
