Re: [OT] Distance selling again & ebuyer

["Ian Lowe" <ian@xxxxxxx>]

Just one tip:

Don't buy (generic or own brand) memory, or any hard drive from them.

I have had *huge* numbers of duff SDRAM from them, and often problems like
overheating that take a month or so to surface :

As for HDDs, they may be cheap, but they don't have the most talented
shipping department on the planet: we used to routinely get HDDs arriving
in
a courier jiffy bag, and (of course) kicked to oblivion!

10 out of 10 for HDDs imo goes to Simply. Those guys know how to pack a
drive safely!

Ian.
