Are there any other products or brands that you don't advertise online?
Yes. We have many products that are available upon request. Due to limited stock availability, we do not advertise these products online. If you would like to inquire about a product that you can’t find on our website, please contact us directly, and one of our experts will be happy to help.

Do refurbished products come with all the necessary accessories?
Our Dell boxed servers come with a bezel rack kit and a manual. All other products do not come with cables, manuals, or any other accessories.

How long will my order take to arrive if I am not in the UK?
Our lead times are generally the same whether you are ordering from within the UK or internationally.

For servers and other complex builds, delivery is 3-5 business days for in-stock items and 7-10 business days if they are out of stock.
