I would have hesitation in recommending this company, from the initial consultation to having the product delivered I had 5 start service. Had heard about this company through a friend, and I have and will recommend to many.

Excellent service and prompt delivery

Excellent service and prompt delivery. Highly recommended and will use again. I was worried about using refurbished kit, but there is no need to have any concerns as the quality of the kit is very high.

Exceptional service and prices from Hardware Associates…

I have dealt with Hardware Associates for over 3 years and they have never failed me yet. From an excellent pricing structure, to fast and efficient communications, these guys provide an excellent service.
On the extremely rare occasions of an issue (in a tech world these things happen!), they are quick to respond and go the extra mile. Thoroughly recommended!

Excellent company to do business with

We have used Hardware Associates for a year or so now, and the service has been nothing but excellent even during these difficult times.

The equipment is good and great value for money and any issues have been dealt with very quickly.

Highly recommended

I encountered a problem with the sound on my Mac and contacted Hardware Associates who swung into action immediately.

They sent a flight case for the Mac, another courier to pick up and had the repair done and dusted and may Mac back with me within days.

Excellent Customer Services - all my communications treated respectfully and it was great to be dealing with polite, friendly REAL people.

I couldn't have wished for a better, more successful experience.

Apple-like service standard.

Apple-like service standard.
My wife's iMac20 needed a new disk. The IMac was collected, fully checked for any other problems, disk replaced to SSD and delivered back all in a short time. And all that in a reasonably acceptable cost agreed in advance.
The communication with Leon and the handling of my case were exceptionally good.
My wife has already used the iMac for more than 2 months without any problems.
Based on my amazing experience I would highly recommend this company.

A very competent company with products of value

Very quick to respond to my email questions.
One phone call to sort my requirements out.
Exceptional service.
IMac packed in an exemplary way ( would have been almost impossible to damage it during transport.) All in all I would purchase from them again as I have received an excellent product backed by their excellent service.

Friendly, helpful, and efficient.

Really impressed with the swift and excellent service. Bill and Alex were fantastic with helping me decide which hardware I needed for my business. They were friendly, understanding, and helped me out with the unfortunately tight deadline!

Top service.

Brilliant service from start to finish

Brilliant service from start to finish

When a problem with our Mac put us out of action, this was resolved quickly by Hardware Associates. The courier arrangements to get our Mac to them were really quick and we had it back fully repaired with a new graphics card within 1 week. Friendly and helpful staff made this whole process seamless and I would highly recommend them

Purchaser of Dell Laptops / Desktops

As a state secondary academy at the mercy of the budget squeeze we have used Hardware Associates for our IT needs for the last 2 years and have been very happy with the service and support Received.

The company has saved us thousands by offering quality refurbished desktops and laptops (all Dell equipment) for less than half the price of new.

This company is a complete fraud

This company is a complete fraud, i purchased the same exact product on amazon off of one of their competitors and it arrived in perfect condition with all the original apple parts, magic keyboard, magic mouse etc.. i then went onto amazon to buy the same product again, little did i know it had directed me to a different supplier which happened to be these guys. The product was listed "good as new" but arrived severely damaged, scratches everywhere, they did not supply me with the original apple mouse and keyboard instead they provided me with a cheap DEVOLTA keyboard and mouse which required a usb in order to set up but the USB was missing not to mention the ugly black power cable as opposed to the white well fitted original apple power cable. All in all this company does things on the cheap and their customer care is the worst i have ever experienced. DO NOT USE THESE GUYS THERE IS PLENTY OF BETTER USED ELECTRONIC SUPPLIERS OUT THERE.

Hi Peter,

We are sorry to hear that you are disappointed with your recent order from Amazon on behalf of Hardware Associates.

As previously explained, if you are dissatisfied with this product, we can give you a full refund, but are unable to offer a partial refund as the item supplied was as listed via Amazon. Please note that the listing includes 'The products will have minimal to no signs of wear, no visible cosmetic imperfections when held 12 inches away, and may arrive in a brown or white box with relevant accessories that may be generic', and in addition to this we have commented in three instances on the Amazon listings that this product does not include an Apple Mouse or Apple Keyboard.

Unfortunately, the order was dispatched before your refund request and we have not had a further response to our follow up. Please get in contact with us if you would like to return this and we will endeavour to get this processed as quickly as possible.

Kind Regards,

Hardware Associates.

Great refurbished equipment, with an outstanding service and warranty

Hardware Associates provide great refurbished equipment with an outstanding service and warranty. We have saved so much money, and time, using them as our one stop shop for desktops and laptops. They are always happy to accommodate our needs and work with us to keep within budget. You could argue that the equipment they provide is literally as good as new!

The Very Best Company for Refurbished IT Equipment

I've been working with Hardware Associates for a number of years and have purchased hundreds of devices from them. I can't praise them highly enough, their prices are excellent, the service is exemplary, the equipment is great and they always deliver on or over deliver on my spec requirements. I've also used them for spares and again they've been brilliant. They'll often suggest alternatives or come up with solutions that meet my needs every time.

The equipment is always in first class condition and my users can't tell that its refurbished! On the odd occasion that we've had a faulty device their return/repair/replacement service has been excellent. Having said that, I can only remember a very few service failures out of the hundreds of devices we've purchased.

Overall, by using Hardware Associates I've been able to reduce my hardware expenditure by 40%.

I won't use anyone else!
