Excellent value and great condition

After a lot of research, bought a refurbished Macbook Pro 13" 2017 SG - i5 2.3 GHz, 8GB, 256GB via Amazon renewed. Really impressed with the speedy service. Although these are expensive, the laptop was excellent value and in great condition. Having set up, all seems well. Whilst a bit nervous about buying a used Macbook, reassured by the Amazon renewed / hardware associates promise re the quality of the product and it's guarantee. Based on my experience so far, I'd certainly recommend and purchase another renewed product.

I cannot praise this company enough for the service, politeness, and efficiency that they gave to me for the repair of my laptop. This was purchased from them just under a year ago with the screen failing one month prior to the warranty running out. New packaging was dispatched promptly to return the item, collected the next day, and within a week the laptop has had a total overhaul with new components.
A1 superb service.

Leon was extremely helpful and patient in diagnosing the issue with our computer after two other organisations had misdiagnosed it. He really went the extra mile for us and we’re very very grateful.

The Brilliant Hardware Associates

I approached Hardware Associates to request their help of a donation of a laptop for our homeless project.
They did not hesitate to help and donated a laptop with window 10 and a laptop bag plus 12 months warranty.
The benefit of this to our project is outstanding, I cannot thank them enough for their very kind, generous donation. A fantastic company.

Great Service, great product

I contacted Hardware Spares immediately after Christmas, having been recommended by a friend. I spoke to Harry, who talked me through my needs and made some recommendations according to my spec. He was very friendly and helpful, I made the order that day, paid the next day, and the laptop (Dell Latitude E7240) arrived a day later. Impeccably packaged, the laptop is as good as new and perfect for my needs, as well as being a great price. I would definitely recommend this company, and will definitely use them again.

Brilliant, friendly, speedy service

Sean Wiggins helped deck our our tiny charity with some brilliant iMacs, and did so with great warmth, knowledge and kindness. We didn't feel like we were being over-sold to, and the devices we bought meet our needs perfectly at a much better price than we could've hoped for going direct to Apple. We enjoyed fast, reliable, friendly and tailored comms from him from start to finish, only dealt with one person for the whole time, and delivery was speedy and well packaged.

Unbelievable Service

I recently spent 3 full days trying to get my office server repaired. I explained to each company that I contacted that the server was crucial for my business to operate and a prompt repair was vital. However, most of the companies tried to sell me a new server or said it would take over a week to repair. The remaining companies just weren't interested.
Thankfully, at the eleventh hour, I was recommended to call Hardware Associates. I spoke to Sean Wiggins who fully understood my predicament. Sean immediately proceeded to identify and then source the correct replacement components required. To speed up the process, Sean then arranged for me to collect the parts from the supplier at 7.30 am the following morning. I returned from the suppliers at 9.45 am and by 10.15 pm the server was working again.
Sean was exceptionally helpful, knowledgeable, professional and unbelievably understanding.
I cannot recommend Hardware Associates highly enough.
Thank you Sean.

Perfectly working board

4 stars, not five, since the shipment is declared free of charge on the web site, whereas I paid 25 pounds for shipment in Italy.
It is not clear how shipment cost is evaluated.
5 Stars for the quality of the board.

Hi Riccardo,

Thank a lot for your review. We do state under our delivery information that the free shipping only applies to UK Mainland orders. However, perhaps this is not visible enough and we should probably revise this - so thanks for your feedback.

We're glad you enjoyed your product and hope to see you again soon!
