Why do you use PC part picker UK?

uncle_sam_ie

I looked up PC part picker Germany and it was much cheaper than when selecting the UK shops on parts picker. Is there a reson the UK one is listed here for builds?

Easier to buy? Pay less for shipping? Less hassle when You have to RMA.
Simple example, Rx5700xt on Amazon it's 467€ with free shipping. From Germany 447€, whole 20€ less but I would need to pay 35€+ for shipping. Sometimes price can be seen better but You have to take into consideration different aspects like price, cost of shipping, customer support.
Like I a lot of the times I use Amazon even if the price can be sometimes higher than somewhere else, why You could ask? Simple, during my years of dozens of purchases on Amazon I never had an issue with customer support when on the other hand, some of the other stores I used sometimes caused my blood to raise too high even with simple things like easy replacement of a broken part.

Most of the German sites don't ship to Ireland (which is technically illegal under EU law).
Also better to deal with English-speaking customer support.

Depending on which week you buy in, you can avail of a weak pound, too :pac:

Really? I wonder how hardwareversand.de got away with it for so long. That was a great website
