MSY are consistently one of the cheapest although the site is messy the phone service is very good and the prices very keen and updated daily. Collection is usually easy in my experience.

http://www.msy.com.au/

Edit - and then I should learn to read and notice that you were after a UK supplier. But for reference for anyone in the Au forum, this supplier link is still relevant.

I buy all my PC bits from eBuyer pretty much religiously, no-one comes close.

If I didn't buy from them, I'd probably buy from scan.co.uk

I've used UMART too, without issues ... but someone on here was saying they are a bit of a 'mare when it comes to returning faulty goods ... having said that I've just installed a video card and memory that came from them ...

Yehp but very very cheap.... Computer swap market prices.

Should see the queues out the front of their shops, takes half an hour to get into them sometimes. Not kidding either.

Thanks for all of the replies guys, this gives me plenty of choice. Sorry the question wasn't clear. I was after an Australian supplier that was like ebuyer.

Nobody really like ebuyer. I have ordered stuff from a few only to get an e-mail later about out of stock or can't get it.

www.megabuy.com.au were OK and pretty similar to ebuyer and did deliver well.

Always use UMART myself and recently returned a stick of ram to be checked. All good, they took and will send to manufacturer for checking and let me know the outcome via email in 12 - 21 days.
