Preetty good - unless you need warranty repairs
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.

Very helpful. Good customer service.
I delt with Scorptec for a GPU purchase. The customer service was great and help in a timely fashion. Very happy with the service received and will definitely use again.

Only profit based, good luck if they take your money!
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

ccurate. Unfortunately we have suspended returns for change of mind returns temporarily due to the ongoing global situation which means we are not able to facilitate a return for you in this circumstance. We understand that this is not ideal, however as the product had been opened and used we would generally not accept a return under normal circumstances.Similar opinion?

BE WARNED!
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.

processing and shipping. We are still following up on the delivery with AusPost - I do not believe our team have advised that the issue lies with AusPost or expressed any level of disinterest in your concern at any point. Your delivery has been raised as a high priority ticket that our logistics team are regularly following up on, as soon as we have any updates or further information our team will be in touch.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.
Finally after nearly 2 weeks with no computer and down $3,000, PayPal has intervened and will be sending my money back.
Good luck to anyone who has dealings with these people. They're a nightmare to ... Read more

Great blokes, whizz parts to you really quickly
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
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

had to temporarily change our quoting processes. This included updating quotes that had not been ordered - we do reserve the right to update pricing on quotes due to significant external factors outside of our control. This does go both ways - when pricing on products shifts downwards significantly we will adjust the pricing on quotes to better reflect the current cost of goods. We strongly advise you to remove your personal information from the images you have attached to the review - these are publicly visible images and posting of personal information is against Product Review terms & conditions.Nah, that is not how your team first spoke to me over the phone, He said send me an email with the proof (which i did) and despite that was told the management is firm on price change and will not co...

nsider the quote provided. If you guys can change your prices whenever and whatever, why do you put the validity date??? (thats like a scam to me OR plain lie). Yes I understand you reserve right to change your price without caring about the customer and thats fine.. I would like people to know this how your business works.Scorptec C.Scorptec (Scorpion Technology)
As previously mentioned, exceptional circumstances outside of our control are the only time where pricing may not be able to be honoured.

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.
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.

Fast service.
I live in the country so visiting the shop isn't practical. Placed an online quote on Thursday. The quote was answered nearly instantly. Paid online and placed the order. It shipped Friday and arrived Monday. Parts arrived well packed and secure. Couldn't be happier. Thanks.

I used their system builder to custom build a pc, and submitted for a quote on a Monday evening - it’s now Thursday and I’ve had no update.
I’m going somewhere else.

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.

Fantastic Product Inventory, Great Customer Service
Decided it was time to purchase a new desktop gaming pc, browsed the online store and began researching the desktop towers available. After much deliberation, MSI Infinite 9SH was the way to go, priced very fairly for what they offer. Solid internal components, more than capable of providing high performance for the simulators I run while in a very compact tower making it extremely portable which is a big tick. Scorptec service was fantastic as always. Computer was out of stock in Clayton store, ordered from supplier and arrived in store by the...Read more
end of the day, very timely service. Process of picking up order was simple, very happy with the overall experience as always.

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

Courier and lack of response to my complaint.
I sent them the following: and a week late, they still hadn't replied to me.
Hello there,
First of all, I want to thank you for my new flight simulator hardware, it's just fantastic. Please understand that I am a polite gentleman and rarely complain. However, I am disappointed and upset about the shipping costs. I paid $53, the fastest way to get this, as I had to get home and leave it up there at work.

e 2 business days? 2) I informed you that I am in a wheelchair and not to "card it". The reason for this is that there are no disabled parking at the post office. You did put on the shipping "do not redirect - signature required" but on the very day I got a SMS to say it was delivered, I was at my work (and all those days after I ordered and never went anywhere)2 comments

Abhorrenr customer service
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
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.asked
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 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]
Liu M.asked
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

Scorptec C.Scorptec (Scorpion Technology)
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.

resolved within a few days of the item being returned if possible, if a product needs to undergo repairs under warranty this typically takes 2-4 weeks. Unfortunately these timeframes have been extended due to the strains on both Scorptec and our supply chain - our team are working as hard as possible to have all returns resolved as quickly as possible.
