Are Scan as good as they used to be?


Recommended Posts

Had to RMA a dodgy PSU, only a few months old.

The RMA was issued very quickly, along with a request to send Scan my nearest UPS drop off location and email, address, contact number etc.

As requested I sent the info required.

4 days past and nothing, no UPS label, no clearance to take it to the drop off location. So I emailed them again, still nothing, no response.

A bit annoyed, I rang Scan, and I can't say I was that enamoured with the way the call was handled. The guy wasn't rude or anything, just interrupted me while I was talking. No apology given either, all he said was, "we've been a bit busy".

Within a few minutes the email with UPS label was sent.

No big deal really, apart from an annoying delay, I just wondered if perhaps Scan have lost the edge. They used to be superb.

I've had a good relationship with them also, unlike Dabs.com.

I ordered some Ram about 3weeks ago, it was in stock.

I sent a couple of emails, no reply, I then contacted them through their 'contact us' button, still no reply.

I went on to the site yesterday and in my account/orders, they have just put a notice saying they are awaiting supplies.

I won't be dealing with Dabs.com again.

At the time of ordering, Scan didn't have the Ram I wanted, hence the skip to Dabs. :(

dabs has had a terrible reputation since before i left the uk 13 years ago back then people crowed about them having the best prices, but they had bugger all in stock, their warehouse was empty and  the talk on the street was that they had just avoided bankrupcy. I ordered a monitor from them and i arranged to collect it , as it was in stock, what they brought out to me was unacceptable , the box was crushed and the manuals missing, and when i refused it and asked for another i followed the assistant  into the warehouse and tere was not a lot there, however when you consider teh  profit margin these companies make,  bulk sales are necessary, personally i would not get out of bed for 7% but for the salaries they pay i would not expect great service.

I'll see how Scan do with the rest of the RMA process but ignoring two of my emails, over 4 days, in regard to a task that eventually took the guy a minute or two was annoying.

It's all very well them saying RMA takes 3-5 days, when they don't send you the label for 4 days.

I'm probably just in a bad mood, I need a cat to stroke.

We will Mutant. Most definitely, in fact we're going to get not one, but two pussy's.

We will be moving soon though if you recall, about to put the house on the market now.

So knowing how scary moving is for cats, we decided to wait until we're moved and settled in.

Psychologically very disturbing for cats, we've had cats do a disappearing act after moving, vanishing for good. Not nice, don't want to repeat that.

I would love two Bengals, but Katy thinks that's snobby and elitist, and that it's unfair to moggies. I'm working on her though. Plus they do cost a bomb. :D

I don't care how much they cost, they s**t in other peoples gardens.

With no recourse against the owners.

So I don't have a pussy either Joe. ;)

 

What!!! I beg your pardon! How dare you insult a feline!

 

They dig a nice little hole and burry it. And besides, you should be wearing gardening gloves.

 

Dogs on the other hand poo on grass verges and wee up my hedge on a regular basis. Dog poo is also extremely dangerous and can cause blindness.

 

I will have no more evil things said about cats or there will be BIG TROUBLE!

Bengals? just had a look, they are very posh and look like mini Leopards.

Waiting for the inevitable move is a wise idea, whatever you get and I know he/she will be good company for you. However, I'm still not a cat fancier, they are for other people, you should see the defences I have in my garden to stop the b*st*rds shitting in our borders!

No offence.

My point exactly Joe.

If you want a proper cat, get a lion, a tiger, a cheetah. Nah I thought so.

It's also great fun watching our whippet chase the evil things out of our garden.

Gardening gloves are for sissies.

Cat poo is safe! Dog poo is deadly! Cat poo will fertilise your garden nicely. Stick some gardening gloves on your hands and all will be well.

 

Dogs rip off faces.

 

Dogs attempt to have sex with peoples legs.

 

Dogs urinate up peoples legs.

 

Dogs smell and so do their homes. [And frequently their owners]

 

Dogs poo on grass verges.

 

Dogs wee up lampposts and anything else that looks a bit vertical.

 

Dogs force you to take them for a walk in bad weather, or they eat the kitchen table.

 

A dog once bit my Gluteus Maximus when I was a child.

 

Dogs are really wolves and like to form a pack and kill stuff.

 

A dog has a bite force of 556 pounds, stick something soft and squidgy in it and it gets bitten off.

 

Dogs sometimes bite men's testicles.

 

Should I go on...

He tasks me that needles. He tasks me and I shall have him! I'll chase him round the moons of Nibia and round the Antares Maelstrom and round perdition's flames before I give him up!

Bengals are not entirely domesticated, they can turn from a purring, contented moggie to a snarling killer as I have found to my expense and blood loss. Two people I know have had them and can vouch for this.

 

Beautiful and intelligent as they are, they still have a wild side and very sharp teeth and claws. Approach with caution and thick gloves.

 

As I type this our moggie is hassling me for another piece of steak. Spoilt thing!

Yes but I love all animals, dogs included. because life is precious. You evil people however encourage your canines to attack other animals, for example cats. Demonstrating that you are trully evil and unevolved beings.

I will be back tomorrow to counter yout felineaphobia and nonsense posted above.

P.S. I'm on my phone, and can hardly see it cus I can't be arsed to buy reading glasses, so no mocking typos please.

Me, I like cats n dogs, in fact all animals. Had a rat incident yesterday while clearing building rubbish. We disturbed it as we loaded the truck, it jumped down into the basement area with no access out, we use a ladder to get there. We watched as it tried to scramble up a vertical wall and fell back down, then it shinned up a scaffold pole but it was too far away to reach ground level and it fell again, a few times. So I laid a length of timber for it to walk up out of there which it did. Couldn't let the poor bugga die down there could I?

 

Animals, they're my pet subject.
