1222368 2011-08-10 11:52:00 for the past year I've stuck with ascent as a result of their decent customer service (except for one woman who is consistently unhelpful) , great website, and fast shipping. today as I was about to order an asus gtx 560ti oc top card, I noticed ascent was out of stock and won't have any in until September. their loss, 'cos I want one now and found that computer lounge has them in stock and I think a lower price. then I noticed a Sammy f3 hdd I need is also over 20 bucks cheaper that ascent. I'm really liking their website and shipping options, I think ascent may have just lost a customer :D

1222369 2011-08-10 13:31:00 You've rung Computer lounge to confirm that it's in stock? They seem to be the only seller on Pricespy that claims instock which seems strange. PaulD (232)
1222370 2011-08-10 21:06:00 I use both from time to time, just depends who has what I want at the best price at the time gary67 (56)
1222371 2011-08-10 21:10:00 I normally use Ascent and Playtech. Have never used CL yet. Gobe1 (6290)

1222373 2011-08-10 21:50:00 I think both are as good as each other. CL often has slightly sharper prices, but Ascent has a massive range of gear. wratterus (105)
1222374 2011-08-10 22:27:00 I far prefer the CL website, so much easier to navigate, search etc compared with Ascent so I tend to do most of my shopping there.

Both great companies though, highly recommend them both.

Though if you order from CL, you usually receive your goods 1 day earlier - well that is what I have found anyway.

1222375 2011-08-10 22:29:00 I noticed cl is actually cheaper than ascent.

I didn't ask if they were in stock, but I did have to call them this morning, accidentally ordered 2 hard drives instead of one. I did ask if the hard drive and video card would arrive tomorrow, the guy said most likely. we'll see.

I have never ordered anything from ascent that arrived later than the following day. as long as you order before I think 2pm, it should arrive the following day for most places.
