    watch out with ARia, they are very difficult to deal with if things go wrong. it took me more than 3 months to get a refund for a piece of faulty kit and then I only succeeded cos i wrote to the owner of the company!
    Stop looking for answers....
    The most you can hope for are clues.....:)

    You can't help it if it is outside your control!!

    Brought a mini-cube PC off Aria which turned out to be DOA. The returns procedure was cumbersome and they basiclly didn't do anything until I phoned them up a few times.

    I still buy from them because they are competitive on price but I know that if anything goes wrong it will be a pain.
  • PC resolution: 640 x 480 - so crap for normal pc use!
  • Aria's returns policy is horrible and I live just down the road from them! Because of this I buy bigger items from Microdirect where possible, as even though their prices are a bit more expensive there seems to be a lot less grief taking stuff back.

    To be honest, i think most mail order pc component suppliers are just as bad as each other. Ive had bad experiences with ebuyer and dabs also.

    Hi,

    My advice would be to pay by card. At least then you get a bit more protection. If you threaten to take it to the credit card company, most firms will try and resolve the issues, as they get a £10-£20 fee imposed by the credit card company for each chargeback,

    What shall I put here? :confused:

    I returned an item which failed twice and Aria now say they have issued me with a "credit note". They did not reveal this without some prompting and I still have not got them to tell me how much the credit note is for, or how I could redeem it!
