Review of PC Specialist Ltd


Rated 2 out of 5 stars

The PC is fine....but

The pc is fine, the ability to choose every component is great however. There is no way of judging each component for, availability, specifications (is this better than that) or price (best value). I'm not sure if the components I chose was the best combination or is one component slowing the whole system down. Took around a month to build when I chased was told delay on CPU, if I had been told this I could have changed option. Delivery was a disaster, DPD didn't deliver on the agreed date and ended up back at supplier. Pc also had a fault on USB easy fix (loose plug) through excellent helpdesk but shouldn't have been a fault in the first place.

Hello,

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re glad to hear that your PC is performing well and that our support team could quickly assist with the USB issue.

We’re very sorry for the delays during the build and for the lack of updates, it looks like one of the components was temporarily out of stock, which extended the lead time. We completely understand that better communication would have helped you adjust your configuration if needed.

We also appreciate your feedback regarding the component selection process. For customers unsure about the best combinations, our team is always available to provide guidance to help optimise your system.

We’ll be reviewing how we communicate stock and build updates to ensure a smoother experience going forward.

Kind regards,
PCSpecialist

Terrible

Was told delivery would be on a weekday then message saying Saturday, so changed delivery to following Monday DPD then tried delivery on Saturday! Parcel sat at their depot for a week then returned to supplier. Terrible service.

Is it just a joke

How can tfw call their operations a train service. I'm sure they run what they do for a personal laugh. I don't think anyone on the two train trips this morning would be anywhere near happy. Infrequent, late service with two very hot coaches in the middle of summer holidays, brilliant!

Good idea but app so frustrating to…

Good idea but app so frustrating to use. Almost impossible to use on a mobile phone and when you search nearby you get the whole of UK! Also using filters for day of the week doesn't work, look for availablity for a Saturday and the choice you get still have restricted Saturday use. Have used it a couple of times could be better.

Turkey Gulet Cruise Extension

We had a great holiday on the small boat with 16 other like minded travellers. If you like WiFi, comfortable bed and 5 star food whilst on holiday please do not do this and spoil it for others. If however you are up for an adventure and meeting others then this is a must, great fun everyday. We all joined the boat as strangers and left as great friends having shared the week together. Yes the cabins were small and hot but sleeping on the deck under the stars more than made up for that! Go on you know you want to, I haven't stopped smiling yet!

I have passed you comments to our Product team who want to know if you would like a job as a brochure writer ? ( ha ha ) you certainly have captured the very spirit of everything that this cruise offers. We are delighted that you made such good friends and had a real adventure.
