- Trade-in offers are promotional and subject to terms, device verification and acceptance criteria at the point of valuation/collection.

- Returns: the material references standard returns and warranty policies; customers should consult the product-specific and company-wide returns pages for precise time windows, conditions and procedures.
- Warranty: manufacturer warranties apply to new products; specific promotions may add extended cover (for example the free 3‑year warranty with qualifying Acer items). Warranty terms vary by product and promotion and are accompanied by additional T&Cs where applicable.
Customer service and contact details
- Sales advice and customer contact telephone: 0871 244 0934. The material notes the call charge as 13p per minute plus your network charge and that phone support is available seven days a week for sales advice.
- Business account management and trade enquiries also use this phone channel (and likely other business contact options on the site).
Company and legal information

- Regulatory and legal notices: the pages include privacy, cookies, finance broker notices and other standard legal information; finance and promotional offers are governed by specific T&Cs and are subject to change.
How the site presents buying guidance and FAQs
- Buyer guidance: short advice sections recommend considering processor type, RAM, SSD vs HDD, screen size and resolution, and the need for a dedicated GPU for gaming or creative workloads. Refurbished units are positioned as value options for budget buyers.
- FAQs: common customer questions about delivery, returns, warranties, finance and product specifications are addressed in summary form on the site; customers are advised to read full FAQs and product T&Cs for binding details.
Limitations, caveats and important terms to note
- Promotion-specific terms: all promotional claims in the material are conditional—each promo, bundle or free-gift offer is subject to precise terms and conditions (eligibility, qualifying models, purchase windows, regional restrictions) and stated end dates. The material repeatedly notes “terms & conditions apply” and directs customers to product/promo pages for the definitive rules.
- Finance eligibility: finance offers, including PayPal Credit and Pay in 3, require eligibility and are subject to status and affordability checks. Some finance references include example APRs; actual rates for customers depend on the credit product and individual circumstances.
- Trade-in valuations: the quoted “up to” values for trade-in are maxima and not guarantees. Final values are determined by evaluation of device condition and verification.
- Availability and pricing: product prices, savings and stock levels can change rapidly; clearance items and limited-time deals may sell out or be withdrawn without notice. The examples provided in the material are illustrative snapshots.
- Geographic restrictions: much of the finance and promotional content is targeted to UK residents; customers outside the UK may face different availability or ineligibility for offers described.
Reviewer conclusions and practical takeaways
- Range and transparency: the pages provide a broad and reasonably transparent overview of inventory, filterable specs and a variety of price points across new, refurbished and clearance stock. This makes it practical for shoppers with different budgets and needs to compare options.
- Promotions and extras: timely manufacturer bundles and retailer promotions (warranty extensions, free game/content packs, subscription offers) add value for eligible purchases, but each promotion requires checking strict T&Cs and qualifying SKUs and purchase windows.
- Finance and affordability: multiple finance channels are offered to spread cost, including 0% offers on qualifying orders; customers should read finance terms carefully, be aware that finance is subject to status, and confirm representative APRs where present.
- Business and trade buyers: explicit B2B support and account manager offerings make the site suitable for procurement and volume purchasers; public sector and trade enquiries are accommodated via dedicated channels.
- Due diligence recommended: prospective buyers should verify current price, availability, exact promotional eligibility, delivery estimates, warranty coverage and the final terms of any finance product before completing a purchase.
