Bought package 2 months ago - packaging was damaged, took out tower and monitor, set up. Found monitor screen damaged, phoned company, they sent out a new monitor next day. next day tried monitor with tower and found monitor had boot error, Phoned and spoke to John, asked me to return tower and he'd send a different one. m Sent tower back and received another tower a day later. Set up system.
Easy to set up, excellent. attached new hot spot and I was online within seconds. Brilliant for the price. I would recommend this product to any one. The damaged monitor was due to DPD delivery group damaging the box - the box was wrapped with DPD tape to hold it together.
Thank to all at company.

Good little PC for many!
This parcel arrived to my door just the next day which is great for me! The parcel came well-Bubble wraped, with everything nice and neat! Inside was the HP ProDisplay P232 (the monitor), a Dell optiplex 7090 (The Computer itself), and a nice shiny set containing a keyboard and mouse. I first booted this to a nice and vibrant display. This seemed very fast! I booted Microsoft edge and tested with a little YouTube! Worked like a charm! Very fast! It did eventually slow down after a bit but after some YouTube tutorials I managed to make it speedy again. This was for my son So I tested with some Minecraft! Unfortunately, The PC ran it OK as there was quite a bit of lag but it wasn’t unplayable. The dvd drive was a bit stuck at the start but eventually came out and now he can watch his movies! Unfortunately, the setup did not come with a mousepad but other than that, there we go! At the end of the day, I handed it so my son and I haven’t seen him ONCE come off that screen! It also included a WiFi adapter too! So I can connect to WiFi! I would definitely buy for work/homework, word, PowerPoint and outlook work fine and a bit of YouTube, Netflix, Disney plus work perfectly! It is also very quiet! Would buy!Details:x4 USB ports on the front,2 on backIs used Via VGA port to connect to monitorKeyboard and mouse are brand newNo problems

Details
Delivery - Item was delivered the next day (prime)
Product
- The Tower had layers of rust over the cables (see attached pictures)
- The power cables did not work
Customer Service
Unsatisfactory response to a legitimate customer complaint. No ownership or even hint of embarrassment or damage control for their brand/reputation.
My Experience
I imagine Amazon and Sellers agree to certain safety & quality standards and items are checked prior to dispatch but I'm unsure what checks were done on this particular order. My perception of the seller is that they are a time waster with zero integrity. Does not deserve 1 star but that's the lowest option available.
- I read their policy on returns, understood that I may incur a cost in returning the item, either cost of postage and or time to drop it at a collection point. Wrote to them explaining my concern.
- They asked to see a picture of the item that was delivered, and tried to assure me that I would not be expected to return at my own cost.
- They suggested a 'swap it' service. They would use a courier to deliver a replacement and collect the faulty item.
- I declined and insisted I wanted a full refund
- They sent me a prepaid returns label, requiring me to drop the 13Kg package at a couriers pick-up point/shop
- I asked if they could get the courier to collect from my address
- Their response
'Hello,
our collection services are not operating at the moment,
kInd Regards
A moment ago they were willing to pay for a courier to collect from my address and send me a replacement. This can only mean they don't want to incur the loss of delivering and collecting the item they have mis-sold. This is completely understandable ( IT Buffs - no need to mask this or play games - comes across as unprofessional and your insulting my intelligence)
I have spoken with Amazon and they have advised me to book a courier to collect from my address and return to the seller and they will reimburse me.
Two companies, two very different responses to customer service.
My conclusion
Company A - plays the long game, possess or works towards a healthy profit margin by balancing long & short term goals, places a premium on their brand/reputation, adopts a returns policy that would go a little something like this
'We've sent a damaged item in appalling condition with apparently zero quality or safety checks. We'll do everything we can to try and make this right for the customer which in this case means paying the difference between a courier collecting an item from the customers residential address vs a pickup point. We may avoid turning the customer and others into detractors and protect our brand. The number of returns we get is low when compared to profit margins, it makes commercial sense to incur a small expense to protect the value of our brand'
Company B - plays the short game, needs to get rid of stock very fast to make some quick/easy gains. Very little in the way of integrity and therefore no quality control or safety measures and complete disregard for customers. The number of item's returned is significant enough to upset the balance sheet and there is no value placed on brand/reputation as we are in the short game.
Product Safety & Quality Concerns + Extremely Poor Customer Service
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 August 2020
If you value your time, do yourself a favour and look elsewhere - I've come to the conclusion that a buying a renewed computer from sellers on Amazon for a 'perceived' save in cost is not worth the risk.Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 August 2020

Nie wieder gebrauchter Computer

Der Händler hat nach mehrmaliger Reklamation das Geld zurücküberwiesen und seitdem warte ich auf ein Rücksende-Ticket.
Die telefonische Hilfe von AMAZON ist ausserordentlich freundlich und hilfreich. Ohne diese Hilfe wäre wohl gar nichts passiert. Dafür der eine Stern.
Fazit: Nie wieder ein gebrauchter, generalüberholter PC !!! Aber ich bin selber Schuld, denn 200;-- inkl. Versand aus England hätte mich stutzig machen sollen.
