'Ronseal' company.
First thing is the price. Best by a substantial margin.
Communication was minimal but sufficient.
3 to 5 working day delivery slot was met.
You promised.
You delivered.
5 stars.

Pretty great tbh
Pretty great tbh. Never heard of Alva PC and was a little sceptical about getting a Garmin somewhere i hadnt heard of at a cheaper price. Everything is perfect though.

Thanks very much for the review, Edward.
We completely understand the initial scepticism when you find a product significantly cheaper than elsewhere, especially from a company you haven't used before. That's why we're particularly pleased to hear everything arrived exactly as expected.
Thank you for putting your trust in us, and we hope to see you again in the future.

Great prices and great customer…
Great prices and great customer service. I purchased a portable monitor & it arrived promptly. They dropped me a courtesy message to see if I was having any issues with the monitor (which I haven't since purchase a year ago). Would recommend & will be using them in the future for further purchases.

Excellent experience with Alva PC.
Excellent experience with Alva PC.
I’ve been expanding a multi-layer backup system for my photography archive and had become frustrated by the recent rise in SSD and storage pricing. Alva PC contacted me roughly a year after a previous purchase to ask whether they could help with anything, and the timing was genuinely perfect.
After explaining what I needed, they recommended 4TB IronWolf Pro drives at a very competitive price and even made the item live on the website for me as it wasn’t currently shown as stock.
Ordered Friday evening, delivered Tuesday morning, very well packaged and sealed as new.
I still need to complete my full testing and drive checks later this week, but so far the service, communication and delivery have all been excellent. Much appreciated.

We hope the remainder of your testing goes smoothly, and if you ever need anything else in future, we’re always happy to help.
