How trustworthy and reliable are dabs.ie?

I'm looking to buy several parts for a new PC I'm building and dabs.ie offer the best prices, as well as very cheap shipping. Are they trustworthy, reliable? Should I spend almost €2,000 on computer parts on their website?

I often find amazon to be cheaper for several items for pc when I looking for other People,
factor in Free shipping on orders over 25 pound, and their returns policy ( eg like I got a GPU for a mate, had 3 year warranty after 13 months it gave issues which support couldn't fix, 1 email to amzon and replacement was delivered within 2 days with a return label to return the old gpu free of charge with in 30 days)

Dabs is very good. I have ordered good few things with them. Price is not always competitive but all works as advertised. Customer service is fine too. Had few goods returned during warranty.

The only problem I've had with them is their website stock levels aren't always (in fact rarely are) correct. I've ordered things and then it would be out of stock as they picked the order. So delivery can be quite slow.
Have you looked at hardwareversand? They'd be my first choice when I'm buying parts.

I had a good experience with Dabs.ie. I saw a few mixed reviews on Boards about them but to be honest I couldn't fault them. Ordered a Lenovo T400 laptop from them on Wednesday afternoon. Arrived by UPS Friday afternoon, ahead of their estimated arrival time. Product in very good condition and well priced. Overall cant fault the service I received.

Yeah I've made a handful of orders down the years and found them grand.
