No warranty from CPL, liars! Stay away from CPL!
Stay away from this company, because if your item will become faulty they will not replace it straight away, but instead they will send it to their supplier first to verify if its faulty and it will take 1.5 months before you can get a refund or a replacement. So in fact they simply resell product from other companies and have no their own warranty on what they sold. In best case you will wait 2 months before you will get any result.

Dodgy business practice
I bought some computer hardware from this shop through its website because of its competitive prices. After two weeks without the hardware being delivered, I emailed this shop and they told me that the product was always out of stock (but they still sold it to me) and they can give me a refund. I asked for a refund. After another 2 weeks without any refund coming through, I called this shop many times about the refund. I eventually got the refund after another 3 weeks. I WOULD AVOID THIS SHOP BECAUSE OF ITS DODGY BUSINESS PRACTICE.

Just skip them and go to Kogan
Ordered and paid for a SSD hard drive last night.
Received an email this morning saying the price one the website was wrong and they have refunded my order.
Probably don't bother ordering from this site....
Believe all the negative reviews.
I'll be going to Kogan.

Avoid at any cost
CPL are okay until you run into issues. Then the fun begins. Most of the time they will try and circumvent the law and wear you down.
I had a DOA power supply.
Took it home plugged it in. Tested it and it was dead.
CPL accused me of killing the power supply told me I never knew what I was doing, I don't have a degree or am not qualified etc etc. Although I have qualified in electronics.
Drove back to CPL and they wanted to charge me to test it on the spot. After some heated words where exchanged they tested the power supply. It too...Read more
k over 30 minutes for them to swap it over. Asus motherboard 3 year warranty. CPL refused to honer the last 2 years warranty. Contacted Asus and an Asus importer. I had to deal with CPL with many phone calls emails etc.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!

Terrible
Purchased a Logitech Universal Remote from here that doesn't work. Contacted Logitech who couldn't help.
ConningPeopleLand don't care that it doesn't work on a TV Logitech list as being compatible with...they consider it a change of mind. No Refunds, I was told to leave. VCAT hearing in November!!
Update: Reply from CPL - Andrew, You brought(sp) it on your accord. We did not recommend you the product, it does what it does.
Update 2: 3 weeks after VCAT awarded in my favour CPL is yet to pay. Next stop is Magistrates' Court. CPL can cover those fees as well.

It's a scam
Drove almost an hour to their closest store and shortly after paying in full for my purchase was told to pay about $100 more to receive my purchase because they had forgotten to update the prices on their website. Similar mistake they had done on multiple occasions according to reviews and other customer in the store. The main thing they seemed particularly competent in was finding the loopholes in the law with multiple legal representatives (both police and consumer affairs) both agreeing their practices were wrong but unable to do anything as they had offered a refund.

Never shop here
Extremely bad service and refuse to refund a faulty product. No communication. Worst computer parts distributor I have ever purchased from.

Terrible Communication
I bought a custom computer worth about $1200 online and it has been great no problems and was built in about a week. The shopping experience at the physical store is terrible the staff had pretty poor communication skills. Looks like I have been lucky judging by the reviews. Would I buy from them again? probably not

Terrible communication left me waiting
I have bought from CPL before, and in store I thought their service was not bad at all, in fact I found them quite helpful. However, when ordering a joystick which apparently was in stock, I got a taste of their rumoured terrible customer service. I paid and was sent an email saying I would be updated on the order within two working days. Five days later I emailed them to see why I had not been updated. Their reply; we actually didn't have the product and had a problem shipping it in. I would have been fine with this if they had had the courtes...Read more
y to actually inform me that there was a problem, but they left me in the dark. After being told that it would arrive "early next week" I was forced to wait until the next Thursday before actually being informed by another company that my order was on the way, and CPL provided me with a tracking number that was not even activated. My package finally turned up at least two weeks after I had ordered it when I was informed that my package was to arrive around five days after purchase. Extremely disappointed with the horrid customer service and the apparent floccinaucinihilipilification around the idea of pleasing a paying customer.Similar opinion?

Atrocious horrible rude service.
Their website says call up first to check stock availability. I called up at 11.57pm on 14 July 2017. Their operator said 'yes it is available'. I placed the order at 12.02pm on 14 July 2017. A few days later I get an email saying 'stock not available'. The customer service representative, unauthorised, emailed my workplace saying 'You don’t know me but in life you better make more friends than enemies', which I interpreted as a threat. All along I had been using my Hotmail account. Took 6 days of arguing. Refund not yet received. No compensation for my time spent in ordering when, if they had told me 'no stock', I would have gone elsewhere. AVOID.

Regular transactions with CPL and no dramas
We do regular purchases with CPL to the tune of $50k plus per year. No major dramas to date. Items generally shipped quickly. Best price almost always.

They delivered what Apple couldn't or wouldn't - a new battery for my Apple Mac Book Pro.
As my lap top was vintage (ie 5 years old) I had to get a quote first that cost $25 and there was a fair bit of follow up on my part to chase the quote over 2 weeks. Once I paid the money which seemed very reasonable the turnaround was just 5 working days. The computer is as good as new. There seem to be some systemic problems within the company which means that staff often take a battering quite unfairly when things are out of stock, or the tracking system isn't working. Steve was one of those who took my call re the quote and he couldn't have been more helpful.

Poor service compensated somewhat by cheap price.
I've been buying from CPL for the last 2 years with around 5 orders, totaling at about $4000.
Their price, for most of the time, is the cheapest and their parts work most of the time.
By far, i have only one faulty RAM stick which was quite a haggle to return.
A 4gb ddr4 crucial ram stick was found defective using memtest86+ 1 month after the purchase. I emailed them to have the stick replaced, expecting to be able to simply swap the RAM stick for the working one. When i arrived at their store, they refused to replace the $25 ram stick for...Read more

Unethical Practices
A kit of RAM chips was returned under Lifetime Guarantee (Corsair). No replacements available so was given a credit note for $250 even though parts cost $289. Tried to claim it was depreciated as they were used.
Consumer affairs contacted and stated that this was in breach of consumer law.

Never trust this company
They advertised the item which they don't have in stock and discontinued. I requested a refund of over $2000 and they don't know when it would be done.
Refund processed approx in 10 days, but had to e-mail and ring them multiple times.

WORST SHOPPING EXPERIENCE TO DATE!!
BUYER BEWARE! DO NOT SHOP ONLINE FROM CPL!! THEY SAY THEY CAN EXPRESS DELIVER THINGS IF YOU CALL THEM BEFOREHAND, BUT THAT'S A LIE!!! AND THEIR CUSTOMER SERVICE IS LITERALLY THE WORST YOU WILL EVER EXPERIENCE, ESPECIALLY IF A GUY NAMED STEVE TAKES YOUR CALL!!!
I ordered a gaming keyboard, hoping to give it as a gift on Saturday, and paid good money for it including a ridiculous express shipping cost. I thought I would get the order by Friday as they are located in Melbourne and had the product in stock. I called the store earlier in the morn...Read more
ing to make sure they had the item in stock and that they can ship the order the same day. I was told by the customer service that they can ship it if the payment was received before noon. I paid for the order vai Paypal as it's fast, and the transaction was completed by 11.30. Not only they didn't process my order, the send me the email saying there was a problem at 6.30 in the evening, giving me no time to try to deal with any issues they might have. Knowing they already messed up the order and there was no way I could get the order by today, as the order was still on hold in spite of the successful payment, I called the customer service in hopes of giving them a chance to redeem themselves. I couldn't be more wrong! I called them and was on hold for 5 mins when the customer service operative named Steve took the call. The first thing he told me was to hold the line longer, and put me on hold. When he finally answered, not only the customer service operative was unhelpful, he was rude and was shouting at me to send them an email to get a refund. You'd think the operative could take down that customer called to get a refund, or be polite about asking to send an email, but this customer service operative couldn't care less if the customer receives any service at all. He didn't care if the store was losing business, he just wanted the customer to go away and deal with the issue via email. I'm sure as a customer, you don't wanna be dealing with that kind of service. I suggest you do future shopping from any other store(personal recommendation: Scorptec) but this in order to avoid a nasty experience.Similar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
Showed item in stock; but had to import from 'overseas'.
I ordered [and paid instantly] for a monitor that showed "in stock". After waiting a week of nothing from them - I make a call. As it turns out, it wasn't in stock, and they needed to source from overseas, they expected it to be sent in a week. That week goes by, then a weekend, then I check the order status and it hadn't changed - 3 days after they said it would have been sent to them.
Another call, and I find out that it's been pushed back 2.5 weeks! Without telling me!
Reading these reviews, I wish I had known earlier - I'm currently trying for a refund. Hopefully I'm not too late.

Lies and awful customer service. DO NOT BUY
If there's another website that are selling it for $20 more or so, buy it from the other website, it's not worth the hassle of these guys. They happily took my money, but contacted me saying that they were out of stock, so I had to wait 2 weeks to it, but I could get my other items from my order. 2 weeks passed, no items, and after several emails and trying to call them (always being rude) they said that they couldn't send my packages until all the items in my order could be sent at the same time. They also then, tried to charge me more money f...Read more
or postage because I chose the "wrong shipping method", so turning the blame on me was bad. They then, sent me a faulty product, I sent it back, and after 2 weeks I called around (again, very rude to me) telling me that warranty takes 6-8 weeks to process. 10 weeks pass, I call again, and they had the product, but wanted to charge me for postage...luckily I had a nice worker who was willing to give me a cheaper shipping rate, but it was still poor by the company. Cannot stress this enough, do not by from these guys, they're not worth the hassleSimilar opinion? Write a review on ieatwords.com.au!
The WORST company in Australia!!!
Whatever you do NEVER EVER buy from these people. Sold me a faulty product, didn't refund until 7 MONTHS after I sent it back, and said they couldn't replace it. I had to THREATEN these people with legal action just to get my damn money back. This can't be legal!!!
