Q1:
Do all website prices include VAT? Are there any additional fees or hidden
costs?
A1: Here at PCBuyers,
we try to make our website user friendly and simple to understand. All
of our prices are inclusive of VAT; our checkout pages confirm the full
amount of the products and the shipping cost. No hidden costs. What you
see is what you pay!!!

Q2:
What products and what warranty do we offer?
A2: All products that we offer are 100% brand new and come with 1 year
warranty. Most monitors and some other peripherals come with 3 years manufacture
onsite warranty.

.
Q3:
Do you offer discounted rates for bulk purchases?
A3: All of our hardware prices are based on a purchase quantity of one
to five. If you are buying multiple systems, or hardware in quantity,
please email us at sales@pcbuyers.co.uk
or call us on 0870 3870 568 to discuss any available discounts with our
agents. We normally offer a discount on bulk purchases (2 systems or more,
or hardware purchased in quantity of 6 or more). We may be able to offer
a discount on any order depending on how you intend to pay for goods.

Q4:
How secure is buying over the web / I've heard some terrible stories about
other Internet companies?
A4: If we look at the security issue first, when you type in your debit/credit
card details our company do not see that information. Actually nobody
can see it because our check out is redirected to Protx high secured server.(Protx
is recommended by Lloyds TSB bank. Click on the logo to find out more
about their service
)
Secondly if you are
a UK resident using a UK issued card for a transaction over £100
you are automatically protected by Section 75 of the Consumer Credit Act
1974. This means that if a trader fraudulently charges your card for something
that you did not order then the credit card company are equally liable
for the debt. In practise this means that the credit card company would
refund you for the fraudulent charge whilst making the corresponding charge
directly to us. Given the above, in practise putting your card details
into a secure Internet site are much safer than giving them over an unsecured
telephone line.
