eBuyer. Are they any good buying a graphics card from? I have never purchased from them and mostly buy from Satan: Amazon (tun tun tuuuun). Point being I am trying to break the brainwashing and am trying to buy from elsewhere, knowing an Amazon monopoly is dangerous as. Plus their business practices are pretty unethical.

 

I am considering buying an RX 480 GPU from eBuyer: http://www.ebuyer.com/755291-msi-radeon-rx-480-gaming-x-8gb-gddr5-dual-link-dvi-d-hdmi-2x-rx-480-gaming-x-8g?mkwid=s_dc&pcrid=51482416379&pkw=&pmt=&gclid=CJy_tKCktdACFbEy0wod4YEN7Q

Qs:

1) Can they be trusted to deliver the item unharmed and in new condition?

 

2) What's their customer service like?

 

3) Is the site safe? (Most likely a yes, but worth asking)

 

4) What's their return policy experience like if I don't like the product?

 

5) What's their return policy experience like if the product breaks?

I don't expect 5 to happen within the first year, likely I'll be dealing with MSI whichever retailer I buy from.

 

The product on eBuyer is £240. The same product on Amazon is £240 as well. Except on Amazon, to take advantage of the offer (I assume it's for black friday), I need to have Prime and would have to activate my 30 day trial, which I don't want to just yet.

I sourced different parts from a few major sites for my system. They all turned up completely as expected (except for a stock issue which could have been avoided if I din't want to wait) Return wise, my monitor had a few pixels dead when I got it but that was dealt by with Acer. This is only one delivery from each though and I've never ordered hi-spec tech from them before so... Only one example.

Also big sites, safe right now as fat as anyone knows, who knows who might've hacked them!

I buy from ebuyer a fair bit, and can't remember any problems other than delivery not happening when expected, which affects everyone and I have same with Amazon UK. I don't recall having to return anything so can't comment on that.
