Syman_a Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 I use have used IDNS in the past - Peter Finnigan - 01204 363350. recently bought tablets and desktops from him. Has done his best to price match where possible.
DJ-1701 Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) First points of call for me is usually @ICTDirect_Dave, @VeryPC, Insight, Mis-oh. Might be worth trying Stone as well as they weren't bad last time I looked for iPads, so may be worth it for other tablets. Edited November 14, 2017 by DJ-1701 1
siuko Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Best prices I have been having lately is from Amc Computer Supplies They always come in quite a bit cheaper than most other suppliers My account manager is Kye Edited November 14, 2017 by siuko

cooper Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 (edited) Try Darren at Dcad dcad ltd 03300553993 He has always been best on price. Edited November 14, 2017 by cooper
muppet Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 I quite often use AMC as they have given me the best pricing out of the many vendors I use. I've always used Chris as my account manager. Say hello from me if you do contact him.
Lonix Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Interesting how many have been listed here are often cold calling us. Even after I've told them we got no money. 6 weeks later another phone call. I won't name and shame.

pooley Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Highgate my old misco account manager moved there a while back, has consistently beaten Misco prices. ALso use Very-pc and ICT Direct depending on needs.
swarohi Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Jack Richards at Lane has quoted well for me in the past. My account manager at Misco (Dan) was recruited by another company (PCM). Here are their details: Jack - +44 (0) 203 824 6118(Direct) Dan - +44 (0)1604 521306(Direct) Dan said PCM are transferring to the UK market from the US and hoping to operate in a similar manner to Misco so you might find you g
speckytecky Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Also Higate our account is ex Misco and always goes far more than the extra mile to get us the best deal. Invariably next day delivery as well. Please PM me if you want his contact details.
TechieWils Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 I always use either Adele at Contrac or James at AMC. Neither have ever messed me about, great pricing and delivery times and go above and beyond.
TomFreeman Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 I use have used IDNS in the past - Peter Finnigan - 01204 363350. recently bought tablets and desktops from him. Has done his best to price match where possible. +1 for Pete, love that guy! Always willing to help and looks after you!
stevenlong1985 Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 Millgate computers https://millgate.co.uk/ always free next day delivery and very low prices
Sylv3r Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 We are another happy AMC customer - especially for day to day stuff. When we are looking at bigger purchases, we use AMC with the likes of Softcat, Stone etc.
eddyc Posted November 14, 2017 Posted November 14, 2017 BT Business Direct here too. Always go out to numerous companies for big projects and BT always blow everyone else out of the water
southhamster Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 We've used Insight and always been very happy with them. They will usually try and price match and despatch quickly. +1 for ICT Direct as well.
XiJ Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 A local company you can build a partnership with. 1
dry Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 BT Business Direct ebuyer ICT Direct AVPartsMaster MSDistribution Will occasionally phone one of the serial cold-callers once I've found pricing from the above, but normally they'll only match or at best beat the above by 6 pence or something ridiculous. I value the half hour it takes our finance officer to set up an account with these random companies at more than 6 pence!
caffrey Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 (edited) We just use Amazon here for most stuff, kenable for cables, MSDIST for network stuff, AVpartsmaster for Projectors etc. and ict-direct for PC's Edited November 15, 2017 by caffrey
Stutwo Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 AVPartsmaster, ICT-Direct, Amazon and Insight usually covers it. Interesting how many are recommended as going "above and beyond", maybe our expectations of what a supplier should be doing to earn our business are set too low.
speckytecky Posted November 15, 2017 Posted November 15, 2017 Of course, Amazon is always tempting isn't it but for me, I'd rather not place business with them that could be handled by a British based company that doesn't have the tax issue associated with it. That said their set up is certainly very good and with Prime swift delivery but my Account Manager at Higate usually is able to better the price and doesn't charge us delivery either. We just use Amazon here for most stuff, kenable for cables, MSDIST for network stuff, AVpartsmaster for Projectors etc. and ict-direct for PC's
