Delivery Details

We send you an email on the day we dispatch your order. Deliveries are normally next working day unless you ordered a Saturday delivery or you are in an area where a 2 day service applies (see below*). Delivery of parts takes 2-5 working days (unless next day is requested).

Our courier, Interlink Express, provide customers with a one hour delivery slot so you have some idea when your parcel will arrive rather than waiting in all day. You will be notified about this one hour slot by email early on the morning of delivery. This email will also provide the consignment number and an opportunity to change the delivery time. If you do not see this email you can track your order by using this link:

Laptop Grading/Condition
Most of our laptops are used/refurbished and the condition of these laptops can vary substantially when we receive them. Unlike many refurbished laptop retailers we spend a lot of time and money refurbishing the laptops ourselves to improve their appearance and condition. These are examples of the work we do to improve the quality of our laptops:
- replace heavily scratched and dented lids, palm rests (keyboard surround) and bases with new or resprayed parts
- replace PCMCIA units with broken buttons
- replace broken catches and switches
- replace or cover worn keyboard caps
- replace batteries which do not hold at at least one hour's charge (usually with new batteries)
We make great efforts to describe the condition of our laptops accurately so you know exactly what to expect and are not disappointed. If we have inaccurately described any of our laptops we will be happy to exchange it for a different laptop. We want you to be satisfied with your purchase. Before you buy from any other supplier check their descriptions and see it they are as detailed (and honest) as ours!
Grade A
A laptop with this grading will be in very good condition for it's age but more specifically the various components will be as described below:
Screen
No scratches, chips or scuff marks on glass. It has no dead pixels and the picture does not have 'screen burn'. The screen has the correct level of contrast and brightness consistent with its age. It does not have an unusually large number of light or dark patches which affect the picture quality.
Case
There are no cracks in the outer case, screen, keyboard or drive surrounds (apart from some minor hairline cracks which are barely noticeable). All the coating on the case eg. rubber, silver is present apart from very minor scratches. There are no security badges or remnants of security badges on the outer casing, keyboard or screen surround.
There may be scuff marks or minor scratches on the outer casing which is normal for a used/refurbished laptop. There may be small dents on the lid.
Keyboard
This does not have excessive wear, for example, letters which are heavily worn and can hardly be recognised. It is normal for there to be some signs of wear on the keys eg. a "shiny surface".
Battery
The battery charges properly and holds at least 1 hour's charge during normal operation eg. typing or surfing the net NOT playing DVDs/CDs (unless stated otherwise in Condition section). The battery will hold a full charge overnight.
Grade B
A laptop with this grading will be in good condition for it's age but more specifically there will some minor blemishes which prevent us from describing it as a Grade A. These are usually minor marks on the screen (which do not affect visibility) or the battery lasts for less than one hour on full charge.

A full description of the blemishes will be shown in the condition section. Remember we are honest about the condition (and if anything are over fussy to maintain customer satisfaction). Can you be sure that other suppliers have the same ethos?
Grade C
A laptop with this grading will be in poor condition for it's age but more specifically there will some major blemishes. These are usually heavy marks on the screen or the case is in very poor condition. It is rare for us to sell these laptops as we either repair them to improve their appearance or do not buy them in the first place.

A full description of the blemishes will be shown in the condition section. Remember we are honest about the condition (and if anything are over fussy to maintain customer satisfaction). Can you be sure that other suppliers have the same ethos?
