Excellent and responsive team!

I came across Austin Computers when looking for a Corsair keyboard. I placed an order as their prices for that specific keyboard was the cheapest around.

Despite expected delays due to the increased demand, my order was dispatched within 24hours.



The online team, including Ricky and Zelin were responsive and worked around the clock to keep me informed.

Overall extremely happy with their customer service! For any future tech needs i will be looking at their website first !

Zero after sales service and can't get through to them.

published

Refuse to shop there anymore even though the Rockingham store is the closest PC parts store to me, I will go elsewhere and price match if possible, if I can spend the rest of my life not giving them any more money I will. Just hope I don't need to contact them for warranty service.

Useless, and service is terrible, its like they hired hermits to deal with customers

published

I have been to Austin about 4 times in the last 3 weeks. All times they have had the most awkward customer service people (who should be behind a computer screen not dealing with customers) and their advice has been unhelpful. I have also found their stock system to be totally useless by saying something is in stock only to show up at the store and have them say they can't find it, or it isn't in stock, 3 separate times. False advertising. I wont be back here, I'll go to either PLE, netplus and Arrow over this every time from now on.

they just don't care impossible to reach via their communication systems

published

I have used this local business for years. I recently took a PC in for some minor issues one i had purchased at the same store. They did nothing i ask for them to do. They are impossible to call which is their elected communication system with their customers. Then when you make a comment you get the old we are so business well sparkie everyone is busy in business but we don't try and screw off the customer. I will never go back and would not recommend this local business to anyone.

Still waiting

published

I've been using austin computers for years. And I've been getting bad service for years. If you buy a single item in store you can expect to wait at the counter. Wait for someone to go out back and find it. Make sure you have a spare half hour for a single item. And hell if you order online and after waiting days for next day delivery, dont expect an email reply for a simple one line question. And boy do they get ticked when you ask them to price you up a starter bundle (motherboard +cpu + ram) and there in stock is never accurate. I'll use ple in the future. Atleast there not incompetent. Get replys to emails same day with ple.

"In Stock" means nothing.

published

Checked online to see if item was Stocked. Phoned before going to the store, server was sure it was in the warehouse but took my number. He phoned later; not in stock, be here in a week. 10 days later I tried to call to query progress. Stayed on hold for 5 minutes. That's it. Amazon has my money now.

Bought a defective product. Charged me restocking fee when asked for refund.

published

Purchased a USB3 harddrive dock online, but picked it up in store. Collected it, took it home and it didn't work. I tried about 8 hard drives on it, and none of them read - the drive would pop up and disappear. Went back to store for refund, and although the guy said he had heard of the issue before, it worked for him so he charged be a 20% restocking fee.

Contacted their sales team about a potential price match, ended up getting it and saving $100+ on my order. Picked up all parts on the next day from the store and so far no issues.

Austin Computers

Is the security check before getting parts safe? Do the parts come in a neat condition or are they left open?

I picked up the parts from the Joondalup store direct so everything was in an unopened box. Generally, though I have never had an issue with security checks when ordering items on line, most times they go by the description on the packaging slip and dont even open the box. They use pretty sophisticated xrays now so they only open suspicious parcels.
