Prompt and friendly contact. Super fast, reliable service. To be recommended. Thank you very much.
Padraig
Needed a fairly obscure part for part of the power cable on my laptop plug. Delighted to be able to get it from ValuPC. As always a simple process. Ordered and received 2 days later.
Paweł
I have ordered a TV that I couldn't get anywhere else in Ireland and Valu PC had it. Delivery took 2 days and Jim was extremely nice and helpful with everything and even delivered it to me himself. I will definitely be ordering from him again.
Leona
Delivery arrived within a day - and it was Christmas week! Headphones were really competitively priced. Delighted with them. A hassle free online purchase. Very happy with my experience.
Stephen
Wouldn't normally bother with review's but I was really impressed with ValuPC, despite never having heard of them before. While googling a specific laptop model I noticed that they're cheaper than other psychical stores by over €200. I ordered the laptop late one and 2 - 3 it was at my door. Excellent service fast and reliable and have already recommended to others.
James
Was going to go to an English chain of computer shop, googled and seen valupc. I ordered a new laptop and Monitor late Sunday night and had them in my hands on Wednesday morning with everything working as expected. I would recommend Valupc as they are Irish and defiantly good value, will be back in the future.
Pavlo
great deals on the market, which seemed sketchy, but decided to order a monitor anyway. Was delighted to know that I was wrong, The monitor came in perfect condition, nothing bad to say whatsoever. Even had some problems with the delivery and they helped me out! It's a great site to buy electronic things of off, don't think twice about it.
Harry
I was shopping laptops across multiple retailers mainly the typical big ones and went searching laptop sales and found VALU PC. Their laptop prices / specs etc were easily beating the rest so looked into it further.
I even spoke to the owner, had a great, friendly chat and found they were more local than i thought and he guarenteed me 2 days delivery to the door and that's what I got!
