OT Again: Who does free / very cheap postage for PC bits?

Everybody knows it doesn't cost =A37 to send a DIMM, even if you send it by Special Delivery (although a friend recently received a DIMM he'd bought, packaged in a box big enough for a 17" CRT monitor!

Likelyhood is, they're advertising a super-cheap headline price and then hiding the profit in the postage, so the best bet is to always go for the cheapest combined price.

I think some of the price comparison sites now allow you to factor in postage.

Sorted now. I ordered from Aria and paid their postage as it was only £3 dearer than buying it direct from Crucial and they didn't assrape me for buying the wrong RAM from them in the first place...

Crucial...lifetime guarantee and free next day delivery.

Oh dear...Tomorrows post will be "I've stuck this new RAM in my=20 computer and now it crashes from time to time".

They also gave a quick refund (free post and replacement stick (the refund was for the diferenace to a smaller size)) when a stick they shiped to me wasn't compatible with my laptop despite being listed as it should be.

Seconded.

I've never had problems, but I know a lot of people who have. After=20 service is non existant, and returns are re-shrinkwrapped and added to=20 stock again.

I've probably built upwards of 150 base units, and cheap RAM is jus tnot worth the bother. It's not trivial to diagnose when it's faulty, and if you search google groups you'll find a large number of people who do it for a living who wouldn't use anything other than Crucial. Lifetime warranty, no quibbles returns, and I don't know anyone who's had a bad stick from them. Contrast this to cheapo generic ram from Aria et al: trust me: it's not worth the mither.

Why? Same crucial RAM...

and returns are re-shrinkwrapped and added to

Amazing how true that is :(
