Preetty good - unless you need warranty repairs

published

I ordered a few items and most have been good. Unfortunately be prepared to wait over a month if you requrie a warranty replacement. Also their communication about new orders is often delayed or cryptic.

Purchased a computer screen online based on description. Screen didn’t operate as described (Lower screen quality) and without Any warning, they will now not accept the return or upgrade offer. They only accept Returns based on defects. Absolute scumbags and now I’m out of pocket $800

BE WARNED!

published

Ordered a $3000 computer from this mob. Provided tracking history when allegedly the item was sent.
It's been 5 days now and I still haven't received the computer, even though I paid for Express Post.
When I call Scorptec they tell me it's AusPost problem. When I call AusPost they tell me it's a Scorptec problem.
Scorptec are uninterested in doing anything about this and say its up to me to find out where the parcel is. (That's only if by chance you manage to get through to somebody on the phone. Usually it goes to an answering machine)
I'm down $3000 and Scorptec couldn't give a toss, even thought I paid for insurance.
Give this mob a wide birth. They're happy to take your money but after that you're on your own.

Absolute crap. Nobody returns my calls or keeps me updated on what's happening. This only happens if I call.
As I advised by direct message, the item was sent Express Post. It's been 7 days now and still nothing.
Dispute lodged with PayPal.

Great blokes, whizz parts to you really quickly

published

I like Scorptec Computers. They're reasonably priced, great range, and ship stuff quickly. Postage rates aren't through the roof either, unlike some other vendors. They also have a presence on face book so you can ask them questions there, wether its a question about a part, or what their stock levels are.

Quote price was increased before its expiration claiming it has expired (Quotes Attached) - They are liars

published

I got a quote for a PC roughly around 1988 AUD, The email clearly said quote expires on 09/04/2020 which is 3 days from now but When I called them, was told the quote has already expired and new price is 2236$. I send them the original quotes with the dates, but they said it is what it is, new price is 2236$

Can't be trusted, IF these guys are doing this before buying the product how are you going to trust them for 2-3 years warranty that comes with the product. They are here to fool us.

Funny Enough they put the quote date the same on both attachment. While the first quote was emailed to me on 23/03/2020 and the Second was emailed to me on 06/04/2020

Attached quotes from Scorptec

Great Store, Great Staff and Great Prices

I have been a customer for a long time and they have a good selection with up to date and very current products, they tend to have prices on par or better than large companies like Amazon. They will be my go-to for years to come.

So far so good. Very Happy.

published

I recently purchased 2 identical gaming machines from this company.
What I liked compared to other companies who build and sell computers is their pre-built machines listed the brands and type of components used in the build. Very transparent and that was one of my main decisions to go with them.
The shipping cost was extremely reasonable and they were delivered within 3 business days.
Both machines are now set up and working well.
Their replies to emails is slow so recommend calling them but don't do it in lunch period they don't answer the phone for a long time.
At this time I have no complaints and would definitely recommend Scorptec for your computer build.

Terrible customer service and don't respond to any emails. It's ridiculous of them to advertise on their site as prioritising customer service and then ignore every email sent. Not only that but it takes them forever to ship.

They will say items are in stock to stop you from buying elsewhere.

published

I bought a Phanteks mITX case and a Cooler Master PSU both of which were said to be in stock and after I purchased them they said it won't be available for a week. Its been nearly 3 WEEKS NOW and they still say the PSU hasn't arrived yet. I'm not even ordering by delivery mind you, I'm ordering for PICK-UP. On top of this, when I question them about my order it takes them a whole week to reply! WHY? Do you purposely ignore my emails?
I've always bought from Mwave and PCCG but decided to buy from Scorptec because the items I wanted were a bit cheaper and in stock. Never again.

I do not recommend this store to anyone. You have been warned.

Abhorrenr customer service

published

Warranty was to be returned to me. Wasn't posted back for 4 days. Supposedly due to a courier failing to collect which is utter crap. Offered to pay express shipping return. Was told it would be express. Ended up having to call them to find out that it was only standard shipped. Because it only takes 1 to 2 days anyway. Three days later package arrives... That wasn't what I wanted. I would have gladly paid extra for it to be expressed given I had been without a gpu for 3 weeks already given their abysmal warranty checks. Will never purchase from this company again and will make sure to go out of my way to make sure all friends, communities and online gaming buddies know to never purchase from them either

Completely ridiculous handling of warranty

published

Items purchased 17/6

Warranty claim lodged 25/7

Followed up in late August, was told to re-lodge claim as they had no idea about it

Warranty claim finally approved 10/9

Warranty claim rejected 19/9 (nine days later) as "items not received within 14 days"

They've been difficult to deal with the entire time, failed to respond to emails, hard to get a hold of anyone... will never order from Scorptec again

Questions & Answers

Daniel C.

Daniel C.asked

Online store

I was about to order from your store when I noticed that you have provided an optional 'shipping insurance' fee.
Can you please explain the purpose of the fee? It is my understanding that under Australian Consumer Laws, the merchant is responsible for getting the item safely to the door of the customer. Ie. if a component is dead on arrival, lost in post or otherwise damaged, the merchant is liable for a refund or replacement.

Can you explain why does the consumer need to pay for insurance? What protections does it provide above and beyond normal ACL protections?

1 answer
Scorptec (Scorpion Technology)
Scorptec C.Scorptec (Scorpion Technology)

Thanks for your question, we offer shipping insurance in accordance with ACL guidelines - covering loss or damage to goods after they have left our control.

As our delivery partners are independent of our business, these deliveries are outside of our control. These services do not provide protection against loss or damages, which is why we offer this to ensure peace of mind for our customers.

Please keep in mind that consumer guarantees against defects are separate from the delivery of goods. If your order arrives without incident but there is a problem with a product, this is of course protected under ACL.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us at: [email protected]

Online store

I was just wondering how long it takes to process and dispatch the order. I heard that using AusPost express takes around 2-3 business days but I don't know how long it will take to process as the online status still says new and I haven't yet gotten a email saying that it's been dispatched (placed the order 2 days ago).

I also bought a monitor but when I saw the first confirmation email, it said that it was out of sale and when I checked the online website again, it said end of life. Does that mean that it'll be shipped when you guys have stock or is it gone forever and if so will I be able to get a refund? My order number is: 1301160, in case you needed that to check. :D

Hi Liu,

We are currently experiencing a much higher than normal volume of orders and enquiries, which is resulting in extended wait times. We're working as fast as possible answer all enquiries and dispatch orders safely and with minimal delay, however this is taking some time. We have already increased resources for providing more online and phone support.

I have asked the warehouse to get to your order as soon as possible, we have already moved significant resources to help our warehouse team during this time and are working on bringing dispatch times back down to normal.

If you have any questions or concerns please feel free to contact us at: [email protected]

Don't believe everything you read. Sometimes you only get negative reviews.
I found what they provide is what you get there are no grey areas when it comes to components.
I purchase 2 machines recently and the service and delivery was excellent.
The machines are excellently built and they are handling everything we throw at them.
