well hope so, i'll ring them tomorrow to see whats the story. ahhh well.. see what happens

They are now essentially a different legal entity and there should not be a problem with your order.

The lesson to be learned is not that HWVS are scoundrels, it's that nobody should ever pay for stuff via bank transfer, with any company. You aren't protected if you do. HWVS pissed people off by essentially going bust, any company could do that and if you pay via bank transfer you'll be screwed

Do you understand the form you have to fill out you wouldn't mind posting a form with fake info on it or what you have to put here and there would greatly appreciate it if you could.

Hey, after looking through the forms, I decided not to fill them out and only send the letter, this is because :
1.If it was required to fill it out they would give an English translation like they did for the letter,
2.the forms contains a lot of complicated stuff like interest rates or local district court, which makes me think the form is for companies

And if for some reason they need the form they will let me know, I attached my email address in the letter

I need to do another small build soon and I was just going to put in an order to HWVS out of habit without even thinking.

Good thing I saw this thread!

I ordered some parts from them last week and 4 of the 5 parts have already arrived... (PSU arriving soon I hope) so seems to be back in action.

Ordered an Asrock Beebox mini pc for the oul lad a few days ago for €159 or thereabouts. Got worried when the ram arrived on its own the other day. Didn't relish the thought of dealing with there CS at the best of times never mind while they are in receivership. However it must have been drops hipped from distributor warehouse because it arrived today. Wouldn't have ordered from them at all if I didn't have the security of paying by ViSA.

sirboby

should i buy my build for €700 euro from them? i was planning on doing it next friday as there is something on there website about black friday deals. Are they safe now or should i go for some other company?

sry kind of new to this

.G.

Nobody here knows their current status and how their business is doing since their issues. Same can be said for any of their competitors though. It's really simple, buy from whoever you like but to protect yourself never, ever pay via bank transfer.

sirboby

Do they now accept paypal?

.G.

They always did except for a few weeks before they went tits up. That's why some people won't use them cos that was a deliberate ploy to get money in the door knowing full well some of those paying would be left without what they paid for and have no means of recourse.

sirboby

do they have it now then?

.G.

Yes. So do loads of other more reputable sellers. Cheapest isn't always best.

sirboby

any alternatives you suggest then?

.G.

In the UK Scan or Overclockers but the exchange rate means pricing isn't great, in Germany Mindfactory seem to be the go to place now and are also very cheap. Computer universe has also been used by many a boardsie with no issues.
