Hi there - Thought I'd try here as some people seem to have luck getting through. Order No. SO01432480 - Has the H510i (SKU #AC24908) arrived? Checked today to see if there was any progress on my order as I saw that a lot of your NZXT cases that were unavailable were changed to "In Stock at Mwave". I was one of the customers waiting on your shipment with the NZXT cases in it. Since you've received a bunch and they're now in stock, I thought I'd check my order to see if my case had been changed to 'Allocated'. Instead, I find that the ETA has been pushed back yet again to 21.5.20. Please tell me that this is because it's generated automatically by your system. Have you got my H510i (white) case in stock and allocated it to my order and just haven't updated its status? Please let me know. Thank you.

Hi Natasha,
It seems the team have just responded before I was able to reply.
The original case 510 has arrived but not the 510i - ETA is late next week..
Do you want to revert back to the original?

Hey Patrick

Thanks for the reply here. I just checked my mwave account and I could see their message. I'll continue with the ticket/message chain on my mwave account. I was worried because the ETA for the H510i was pushed from 15.5.20 to another week later on 21.5.20. But if you guys are still expecting it next week though, happy to wait.

Thanks again

Natasha. B

Hi Natasha,
I have just been updated that the container lands into our warehouse on the 18/5, so by the time its unloaded, checked and finally booked into the system would be around the 20/5.
So realistically the 21/5-22/5 is close to accurate.
This does not take into account any delays at the docks, customs etc which then push dates back again.

When will the Mwave E100i gaming pc come back in stock because I have been waiting 3 weeks

Due to component shortages and unconfirmed ETA of when new stock will arrive, we do not have an ETA for when this R2G will be back in production/available.

Can you guys give a 100 dollar discount on all gaming computers

Prices on website are the best we can do.
This is a very low margin industry and we do not sell at RRP like HN and JB

Please review these on our website as monitor stock is continually changing due to high demand caused by LFH and WFH.

Hi, I am about to build my first PC and was happy to see some cheaper prices on some products compared to Scorptec. After reading their recent reviews it seems they are not coping to well with the pandemic and they are happy to continue using it as an excuse. I'm not to worried on waiting a bit extra, I am more concerned on receiving damaged goods due to negligence. Can anyone please report on damaged boxes or products in the past month?

1 answer
Mwave Australia
Patrick M.Mwave Australia

Please note that there is currently a high demand for custom PCs due to LFH and WFH (COVID19 - as everyone seems to need an upgrade to their current systems.
Depending on the type of system, we have advanced packaging solutions to mitigate damage in transit as best we can, however how the system is handled in transit is beyond our control.
Damages do occasionally occur and no retailer or freight carrier is able to 100% guarantee that no damage will occur in transit. Some other delivery options can be provided if you are local in Sydney
If it arrives damaged then we need to provide a remedy for you - replacement or refund.
Hope this helps.

When will you reply to my order change? I requested fans to be put into my system, and bought them as a separate order. The system is SO01418854 and the fans i purchased are SO01420062. I requested the fans to be put into the system, and put up a message to the customer support, which still hasn't responded, what is the usual time for customer service to answer?

2 answers
Mwave Australia
Patrick M.Mwave Australia

Your fans have been added to your order.
You are looking at 7-10 dyas before your system is built and tested before its despatched to you due to the current queue for custom build systerms.
Customer support responses are 2-3days behind due to increased volume of enquiries.

Mwave Australia

How is this allocation actually working if you're allowing people to order the items and it showing as "in stock at mwave" yet we check 24hrs later after we place the order and it has not been allocated to my order which then holds up my entire order?

I suspect it will also be another 4-5 days before I get a response by your ticket system at this stage as well.

I just ordered a new system from you order number SO01414351. I've always enjoyed ordering from Mwave before and have recommended you lots of times to other people however on your Facebook page you aren't answering any of the customers who are saying they haven't had their computers in weeks. You've also switched off your phone system so customers can't even speak to you about their orders. I'm nervous now and I can't afford to lose over 2k at this time. Every component I ordered said it was in stock at Mwave and I paid via Paypal. Can someone from Mwave please call me on Monday to confirm that my order is in stock as stated on the website. I think you are making a mistake not having a phone number your paying customers can speak to you on. You are the only company doing that and doing so will create a lot of distrust with your customers & ruin your reputation. The government is giving plenty of initiatives now for businesses to retain staff. Is your phone not working because you've laid people off? If so that is shamefull and you should be hiring if you are this busy.

Hi Angus,
Thanks for the enquiry.
We have temporarily closed our phone lines as it was getting congested with a huge influx of calls and our staff could not answer all the incoming calls,(as well as answer all other emails, tickets, chats promptly) also creating anxiety with customers who’s calls could not be answered.
We have decided to dedicate resources to focus on emails and tickets in order to provide quicker responses.
A few Teams are working from home to mitigate risk of the virus spreading as required by the Aust Govt. Our risk policies are also active - ie. if you are sick then you are to stay at home; if someone is sick in your household then stay home; if someone(as well as household) has recently transited domestically/international then self quarantine is required.
These decisions I am sure you are aware of and should be able to understand the obvious as it is heavily publicised in the media/press.
We are functioning as usual on a much busier scale than Black Friday but with reduced capacity in some depts.
Ideally we would like to double our workforce but we potentially could double our risk as health screening and training timeframes will be longer.
Our competitors or other retailers may not be following stringent standards like Mwave are however we are taking the welfare and health of our staff very seriously as well assisting in trying to reduce the spread.
Unfortunately this has created delays however we are trading as usual and have not seen a downturn in business if you are concerned we are closing altogether.
Our warehouse teams have been working longer shifts as well as weekends to push out as many orders as we can.
PC Production is impacted due to everyone including businesses wanting PCs for WFH or for in-home entertainment whilst in isolation/lockdown.
Your order will commence allocation of stock as of Monday as all items are in stock then will be added to the builds queue but completion will be sometime of week starting 13/4.
Apologies for the inconvenience we may cause and appreciate your patience and understanding in this unprecedented time.
Patrick

Thank you for replying. I’ve been a happy customer for a number of years and I completely understand those reasons now you’ve explained them. I think you’ve done the right thing in protecting your staff. The messaging on Facebook and your website should be updated though to explain what you just explained here. Everyone is really worried about their futures right now and the increase in orders is because people are restructuring their lives to deal with this new reality. The phone thing I understand - you have to get the work done to get the orders out and if it makes the operation more efficient that’s fine and more staff might be more risk so that’s cool also. I think there’s a difference though between people making general enquiries and people needing to check their orders are okay. In my case I’m need of this workstation and it’s literally all my spare money so I’m worried about my family. There are also a few things about my system I needed to check through. I’m sure that most of your other customers are in similar circumstances at this time. Anxiety is very high, maybe you could split the difference and put some extra messaging out on Facebook and on the website letting customers know you’ll call them to discuss their build once the order is in place so you don’t have reviews on Facebook sitting there with customers saying they paid for systems only to find out the order was delayed weeks because of one component. It’s really hard not to be anxious about placing an order of thousands of dollars without at least a little personal contact. Think about if you were buying something you needed and you paid for it then couldn’t speak to anyone at the company, how would that make you feel? Protecting your staff and being responsible is great, you also need to make sure you re-assure your customers because they are also part of your family and are also suffering from factors like anxiety and stress from these times. You should make the messaging on the website a little more reassuring, especially that you will call people to sort out different parts of any individual component holds up their order. It’s only going to get crazier over the next few weeks. Reassuring people is really important at this time.

Hi Bailey,
Our primary supplier we had an order in with has sold out and we are trying to source from an alternative but stocks are depleting or have depleted due to COVID19 and manufacturing delays from China.
We would suggest choosing an alternative we have in stock to avoid any further delays.
Please email the team at [email protected] to have this modified if you wish.

On 26/12/19 I bought 9 parts for a new pc build which all were in stock at mwave with the exception of 2 parts which both said it would dispatch within 24 hours at the time of when it was bought.

I would like to know when Mwave will dispatch it as I am worried that my order has been missed.

My order number is: SO01336997

Thanks.

The 2 parts that needed to be dispatched from different suppliers may be from 2 seperate suppliers and the 24 hours that it states doesn’t account for the time it takes to deliver the parts to the showroom. Mwave also occasionally checks the parts as a curtesy to you too see if they are compatible or if any damage has been sustained and if there has been, they will need to order a replacement which will take longer. If you have made a big order like you said, there is no way they will “forget” about it. Hope this helps

Hi m.m,
It seems like we have had a stock discrepancy in the warehouse and the item is not actually in stock.
We have re-ordered from suppliers but there has been delays in deliveries coming to us because of the peak Xmas season.
Please advise if you would like a full refund.
Apologies for the inconvenience.

We can do this for a standard fee if items were purchased from Mwave otherwise it is a slightly higher build fee if items were purchased elsewhere.

Mwave Australia Physical Store

I am looking at a new computer system buying a number of parts from Mwave. I want to buy the AMD Ryzen 7 2700X.

It is valued at $440.00 at CCPU computers; would Mwave be willing to bring their price down to match that?

2 answers
Mwave Australia
Patrick M.Mwave Australia

Sorry Dave, we wont be able to match as this is way below our cost. Please check their stock to ensure you are receiving a brand new item and not a used one.
This is the lowest price in the market so purchase with caution, however should you manage to get the stock (and it is new) then you have scored yourself a great bargain.
Good luck...

I am not sure Brendan. Aust post claims eParcel shipments have next business day delivery time. From my experience Mwave always processes orders quickly.

Hi Brendan,
Generally 2 days to Brisbane however at times it could be delivered next day and other times longer than 2days.
AustPost state that deliveries can take up to 10days so you will need to allow for this if your delivery does not turn up within the week.

Hi Bibhor,
Build times are generally 3-5 business days but the processing time for stock allocation will depend if we have stock of components and if we need to order stock in from suppliers (refer Stock availability on product page).
If stock is in our Lidcombe warehouse then generally a week.
