Electronics sellers that do credit accounts

Hello,

Does anyone know electronics sellers in the UK that do credit accounts for buying laptops, laptops accessories such as chargers, and other computer based electronic equipment?

Looking to try to get into contact with some cheaper sellers (anything seems cheaper than what we are using at the moment) for LA that I work with, problem is that we can only function with places that allow credit accounts with something like 30 day invoicing.

Thanks.

    When I was working we had accounts with Dell for PCs/Laptops, bits and bobs usually came from RS Components ( Radiospares)
    That gum you like is coming back in style.

    Thanks, I've already contacted ebuyer, waiting their reply. Misco is one of our current sellers, their prices are terrible.

    Dell aren't bad on whole laptops (which we rarely need) but when it comes to chargers and stuff they are expensive.

    Just checked radiospares, the prices don't look good, bad even. They don't sell many laptop chargers either.

    Scan do credit accounts, and are sensibly priced.
    They say it's genetic, they say he can't help it, they say you can catch it - but sometimes you're born with it

    It might help to see if you have an account manager for Misco. I rang ours and they were able to price match a cheaper website on some monitors we wanted! :)

    The problem is that you've mentioned the devil phrase "Local Authority". Sadly many LAs pay lip service at best to their "we'll settle it in 30 days". If you get your money in 60 days, you consider yourself lucky. As such, many companies won't deal with LAs and you're left going to Dell direct which is why many LA computers and laptops tend to be Dells.
