They're as bad as anywhere else. Great before you buy, utterly shite after, especially the RMA service. What's more annoying is how they suddenly become "uncommunicative" when you ask them to explain why a simple RMA has been FUBAR.
Scan ain't any better than anywhere else. Judging from their own users posts on their section on Hexus.net, they're quite a bit worse than alot of other places. RMA is particularly weak.
Prices are decent though, they're cheaper than OC.uk on most items.

I called them to point out that you don't really install a USB hard drive, they weren't interested in refunding me and I haven't used them since!
replace 'modifies CPU' with 'tweaks motherboards' and it would be correct... :p

up to a Ghz speed increase.. :) much more stress-free than DIY, and turning that £1000 CPU into a molten lump... {aaaaargh! sob!}
I have used them, liked them, and recommended them to others.
As far as I am aware, every one I suggested to try OCUK still gives them repeat business. Yes, of course there have been problems, faulty goods, and misunderstandings, but the reason I and others give them repeat business is because those problems are sorted politely and profesionally.

I've used OCUK a lot over the years an most of my builds will have something from them inside. They were not the most expensive, neither were they the cheapest. One thing i do know is that they sold just about everything computers, and i had no problem with returns. I do hope the RAF are ready just in case the Germans make them sell washing machines
