Europe - Best Hardware Store?

[Pruxis]

Hello,

 

I am looking around on the net and I try to compare my build till I have the cheapest price including the shipping and I haven't really found a good website that has cheap prices, sents all the parts you want without forcing you to assemble it by them, and doesn't have an overpriced shipping cost.

Or that even has your parts in stock and doesn't let you wait months.

 

If anyone knows a store that's good for belgium customers then please post it below I will surely internet-hug you :)

 

Thanks in advance,

Pruxis

I live in Finland as well and I buy my stuff from Hardwareversand.de, usually cheapest and with the cheapest shipping. You can also use chrome to translate the german language to yours, though hardwareversand has their site in english too. 

 

Also, something you might wanna look at, http://geizhals.de/eu/ It's basically a price comparison site between shops in Europe,

as far as i can tell you, just order from amazon anywhere in Europe.

I've been using caseking.de, for generic computer hardware they are OK.

LoL xD Till now only reccommendations of German Hardware shops :D I thought there are shops in other countries too ^^

I actually live in Germany and I order my stuff at www.mindfactory.de and/or www.alternate.de

As far as I know the best option here in Europe for cheap prices is to buy in a shop in your country: the prices tend to be pretty similar in all Europe (except in UK) but you will have lower shipping costs. in Which state do you live? If you are in Italy I have some pretty good sites.

It's Germany's fault having all the cheapest hardware shops haha. To be honest, if you want a good british shop, amazon.co.uk and scan.co.uk

[SirReallySam]

For Switzerland I use http://www.toppreise.ch/index.php  It's an awesome price comparison site :) some of the sites it comes up with might be able to ship around Europe, but I'm not that sure.

I have no experience of these shops, hence why I didn't list them. Even scan is borderline good for EU customers, they in fact lost my money for 2 weeks when I ordered my 780 from them lol. But if you live in the UK, it's fine.

Ebuyer is the most reliable, only had 1 issue with them and that was cause they sent me 2 gpu's instead of 1 once :3 no problem with that XD didnt even get charged for it

did you return the gpu or keep it?

[samuel]

I always use some kind of price search engine. price.ro, compari.ro.

I live in Belgium as well and i ordered my parts from:

 

Mijnitshop.be: they have everything, but not every known brand (they only have corsair PSU)

 

Conrad.nl: Has a huge variety of cases.

 

Coolblue.be: best service i have ever experienced. If you order before 3p.m. you get it the same day. And if you order between 3 and 11p.m you get it the next day :D (graphics cards, CPU and SSD's only though)

Here in Norway I usually use Komplett.no, they have a few "Pick-up-Points" around the country and one of them is 10-15 min away from me :3

ebuyers pretty good

Cheapest parts I have found are on hardwareversand.de (surprised nobody has mentioned it). Shipping isn't that cheap (€30 to Ireland) so I will only use it if I am buy a lot of components at one time. Pointless for one off components. It's also annoying as you can't pay by credit card. It has to be done through a bank transfer. Was a straight forward process but did require trip to the bank.
