When you make a purchase, we use reputable courier partners to securely and timeously deliver your purchase to your chosen address, both local and international. Our model is not premised on us being a walk-in facility.
Our staff know their stuff! We have ex-Dell, HP and IBM engineers and technicians looking after the refurbishment and testing of individual components. So, we feel we don’t have to upload videos and photos of our warehouse interior to show boxes and boxes packed with parts. We however have a collection point for those clients who wish to personally collect their orders.
Our model is simple: we stock our warehouse; you search for a part on our site (using Part # or Model #:), we identify it from our stock, have it packaged and, securely have it delivered to you in the knowledge it’s the correct tested part.

This is through the convenient online tracking feature of their respective websites. This way you’ll always know the location of your parcel as soon as it leaves us en-route to you.

That means that this information cannot be traced, intercepted or used by unauthorized third parties. Your credit card information will not be kept in our system.
Yes you could. But we don’t advise on this.

We need an hours' grace to have the item (s) delivered from our warehouse to our collection point.
But you need to keep checking as often as possible as the deal products keep on changing on daily.
But they don’t disappear forever. Because we are a stock holding company, these products might come back in stock at a later time with a different price. This is determined by our stock management algorithm that determine what product and when it should offered as a deal.
