Where do you order PC parts from?

I usually order from paradigit.ie (formerly komplett.ie). Trustpilot reviews aren't great, but I've been ordering from there for years and am happy (you really only know if a shop plays nice or not once something goes tits up, which hasn't happened yet). Selection isn't too great, but prices are usually better than any other Irish shop I know.

I have my own IT company (IT consultant kind of gig) so I order hardware through the company, which means that ideally a shop allows me to order excluding VAT (paradigit does that).

I've been thinking of making my next bigger purchase from Alternate (german company). Any experiences with ordering from Alternate?

Or any other shop that has a big selection and small prices? I know there's always Amazon, but I try to avoid Amazon if I can and they often don't deliver to business customers in Ireland anyway...

The 2 places I order from are:

www.jacob.de

www.caseking.de

Also some manufacturers allow you to order directory from them such as Corsair

Another shoutout for Caseking. They own OcUK now, but often have better prices. They've never let me down.

Has anyone here used MemoryC recently? I haven't ordered from them in years and was wondering how reliable they are these days.

Thank you for the feedback. I've got Caseking on my radar, so the confirmation that they're grand to deal with helps a lot!

Caseking are where I sourced almost all the components for my recent build.

CaseKing again!

More than just their prices, I found them easy to talk to directly over email when I had compatibility questions on the components I was buying from them. They were great.

I use MemoryC fairly regularly.

Their site clearly lists what they've got in the warehouse and what is going to have to be shipped to them first.

Biggest advantage for me is that if I order in the morning I can collect anything I need urgently on my way to Dublin that afternoon.

Yes, ordered from memoryc.ie last month. Website design could do with a refresh, but other than that - no issues.

www.elara.ie can be good for some odd things.

Thanks lads. Just ordered some RAM and a couple of other bits from them there. 👍

A business account with Amazon allows you to buy (ex. vat) from all European Amazon sites except the uk. Hagglezon is a good site to compare different countries prices. https://www.hagglezon.com/

Thank you! I guess I never noticed that ordering through amazon.co.uk didn't work anymore post brexit for my business account (but it keeps working for my private one). Never thought about trying e.g. the german one, thanks!
