| 1173911 | 2011-02-02 10:08:00 | I bought a scanner rom e-info but used my c/c :p I was at uni when I knew PC Gear. Only bought Windows 2k and they almost short changed me, they priced it as Windows ME/98 shoulda just walked out, dang. I asked them more about other stuff. |

| 1173913 | 2011-02-02 22:39:00 | I can relate to that. I've not had a problem with Super Cheap Computers, Even got a Video Card and RAM RMAd with no issue. But everyone else says they are terrible. |

| 1173914 | 2011-02-02 23:50:00 | People say a shop is terrible when it becomes necessary to try to get a refund or replacement. Not when they do the purchase generally. I worked for the 1st PC Gear once and oh yeah he hated returns and would refuse to do them. I fought him endlessly about it. He said he didn't care - he could get more customers. Guess that worked huh - not. Seeing as he doesn't exist now. And the Dunedin one was his other branch until the guy bought it from him. Guess he learnt from the master. |

| 1173916 | 2011-02-15 19:29:00 | I just want to confirm the orginal poster's warning to STAY AWAY FROM PC GEAR (DUNEDIN). This guy is a thieving, lying, timewaster. I ordered a component which several weeks after its ETA has still not arrived. When I ask him/Darryl what's happening he says he'll update me or that he's sent the details through, which of course are all lies. I expect my request for a refund will be ignored meaning I'll need to go through the Disputes Tribunal to recover my money. Who needs this bs? | backovbeyond (16204) | ||

| 1173918 | 2011-02-15 23:00:00 | Hi GameJunkie, No, I'm neither of those users, and this is not a fake/sockpuppet account. I myself was surprised to find so many recent negative comments here, but then I also found overwhelmingly negative reviews on other sites going back a year or so, e.g. on PriceSpy (pricespy.co.nz). Maybe he's finally going under and is happy to fleece anyone he can, I don't know. If anyone requires further evidence of my particular case I'm more than happy to send them my email correspondence with PCGear. Cheers |

| 1173919 | 2011-02-15 23:27:00 | That's fine but we have ha people create multiple accounts before to do this type of thing, at least you came back and answered the question most don't | gary67 (56) | ||
| 1173920 | 2011-02-16 20:24:00 | My 2c worth; I've never brought anything from these guys but we did inherit a client from them; these muppets built the biggest POS SBS server I've ever seen; a 1u cheap and cheerful, no RAID (two drives fitted, raid controller installed, no array setup....) and over a dozen ports dutifully NATTed to the outside world - ok stuff like https and rww but dumb stuff like rpc. Muppets that get into building servers give it a bad name and build false expections around how much stuff costs; sure this server cost less than a grand installed, crashes every day though.... | dcstaw (14751) | ||
