So happy 😊

This is my second large purchase from student computers and I'm over the moon with both items: Humax TV box and Asus laptop. Great service and value, thank you 😊

Very quick delivery

Super swift service, delivery within a couple of days. Purchase was greatly helped by an accurate website description. I would certainly consider using this company again, should a replacement laptop be required again.

Laptop

I ordered a laptop, my old one had given up the ghost, the guide delivery date was five working days which was fine but it arrived in only two days. The laptop was an excellent price, well packaged in original packing and came with a laptop bag. Couldn't ask for more.

Can't fault it!

I needed a better laptop for working from home and doing video calls. I found this site through a random search it was easy to use; the speed of delivery excellent and I'm completely satisfied with the laptop I ordered and with Student Computers.

Glad I found it, will return again

I came across this website for the first time when searching for this laptop. I'd never heard of it before and I have to say it's a great find! Laptop came in excellent condition, with a handwritten inspection certificate of all aspects checked before sending. The prices are very competitive compared to other refurbished options with a warrantee. I'm knocking off just 1 star as I paid extra for next day delivery and it took 2 days so I had a working day without a laptop. I contacted the team about this over a week ago and haven't had a response. I hope it's just a one off.

Hi,

Thank you for your review, I'm so glad you're pleased with the item!

Sorry to hear about the delivery delay.
Could you contact us with your order details so we can look at getting the next day delivery charge refunded for you please?

EDIT** Sorry, would you mind re-sending your email? I can't trace anything regarding this and would like to get this resolved. If you are happy to provide the account name that the order was placed under I should be able to get this sorted.

Thank you

iPhone XS Max Purchase

First time ordering a second hand phone not on contract so was a bit skeptical when ordering. I ordered a grade A- iPhone XS Max and I can say it looks like it’s brand new, no marks or scratches anywhere. Delivery was very fast went for their free delivery option and this arrived 2 days after ordering. Great phone and great fast delivery.
