The Global Computer Components Retailer List


About this guide


The purpose of this guide is to try and create a global phone book of online retailers where it is safe to buy computer components from. Obviously I don't know the name of every PC store around the globe so I am hoping the excellent people of LTTF will help me out by posting links to stores which they know are safe.

The intention is to create a list of shops which our community can use as a reference point when buying computer (and wider technology in general) parts.

Before the guide begins


Please make sure you check out PC Part Picker, it has many regional sites and is the best place to create a build and locate the cheapest prices for components. This guide is not about the cheapest place to buy components however, its about peace of mind and knowing the shop you are buying from is legitimate.

So without further ado, here we go...

Amazon UK
Amazon US

Amazon Australia

I'll add Maplins but not the other 2 as they are not really component stores, they sell components as a secondary to their prebuilt system sales.
