I accidentally ordered the surface pro 7 when I wanted the surface pro 7+

Your team made it easy to get started with the return, pay the difference and to send out the one I thought I was ordering. Team was helpful and knowledgeable and easy to work with in the store. I was so relieved. Thank you!

Thanks again!

Love HP

Easy to order, pay and have delivered.
Tech staff helpful when unit would not connect o internet.
I had ordered online therefore needed a dongle. I had a 2.4 ghz GHz one which
got me started until dual band arrived from ACTNo trouble since then. I made a mistake by buying a Dell which crapes its USB. Always had HP before and will stay with them
Otherwise good service . Simn and I have bought 9 desktops and laptops over the years from ACT

Great value

Great value, excellent specs and fast delivery. Would have given 5 stars but I got the wrong charger for the laptop I purchased - which set me back $$$ as I had to go and source an alternative correct charging pack so I could use the new machine while travelling, while I waited for the new (correct) charger.

Warranty Repair Service

I had issues with the purchase I made of a desktop computer. I made enquiries and was advised to send the unit back for a warranty check and also was provided with the postpaid connote. The unit was returned to me in working order within days. Very professional and great service. I would recomend ACT anytime.

Not all computers are ready to go when they arrive!

Bought a computer in plenty of time for a deadline of when it was required. When it arrived it was locked to a private company! When I alerted them they admitted that sometimes the computers hadn't been wiped from where they were bought. Had to get another computer sent, was told I had to return the original by Tuesday at 1pm so left work to get to the post office then and got it all sent off in time. Was told it would arrive by the Friday (my deadline day) and it didn't arrive til the following week. Even though my first computer arrived without requiring a signature on delivery, they wouldn't change the second one so even when it arrived I couldn't receive it straight away. It was really frustrating and with no apology, the customer service leaves a lot to be desired.

Hey Frankie, apologies for the issues with that one! We do understand this has been frustrating for you. I would like to reassure you that we do fully wipe the computers prior to dispatch. We do value your criticism and are aiming to re-check our units and work closer with AusPost regarding delivery in future. Please do reach out if you'd like to discuss this further, or if there's anything we can assist you with. -ACT Team

Good after sales service

I ordered two identical Pro 600 computers. They arrived in quick time and were well packed. The first worked perfectly, the second would not boot successfully. I contacted your staff by email and got an immediate helpful response. Acting on that advice, I was able to solve the problem. Both computers now work perfectly. To my surprise one of the computers had an extra 500G hard drive, which also works. Both have RS232 ports which are useful in my application. That was a bonus. All in all I am very happy with my purchase.

Purchased a Lenovo Thinkpad P53 Intel 7 9th GEN, 32GB, 512GB for $619 refurbished. I had been researching for a general family workhorse computer for a couple of months. This seemed the best value for the money and faired very well against the same computer from other companies by several hundred dollars. I've had it for a month, and it came to me looking almost new. Just a few finger marks on the case but otherwise without a scratch. There was a slight hiccup with the wrong power cord initially sent. A quick call to Customer Service and the correct cord was sent to me in the next couple of days. Very satisfied with the purchase.

The product (a HP wireless/BT mouse) is great quality at a great price, with cheap and reasonably fast shipping. The customer service is A1 and I highly recommend using ACT.

Disappointed customer

Bought a A grade laptop from them, first one I got had dents,scratches all over and the touch pad wasn't working well. They told me to send it back to them I'll get a new one. The second one I got everything was working but had screws missing where the technician forgot to put them back in and also still dent marks on the edges like their B grades in advertisement. I'm ready to send the second one back again and have made a choice on another laptop where cost abit more but now they won't give me the choice which they should from all this stuffing around. I won't be using ACT in the future after this experience very disappointed.

Waste of Money – Do Not Buy Here

This has been an appalling experience from start to finish. The computer was faulty from day one, requiring an exhausting process just to reach the home screen. Out of sheer frustration, I left it aside for months, only to find the same problem persists—endless error messages and a system that cannot repair itself.

I specifically chose a refurbished computer because I’ve always had excellent results elsewhere, particularly with Renewd, who never let me down. This business, however, has proven completely unreliable. The product is unusable, the money spent feels wasted, and I would strongly advise others to look elsewhere.
