The customer service was very responsive, and delivery was fast! Although the delivery guy mislocated my apartment, he made sure I come out to take the package instead of just leaving it at door. I’m... See more

Affordable and quick

Exactly as you'd want from a retailer like this; got my sticks of RAM within three days of ordering - exactly as described - perfectly packaged; protected for the journey, but not overly stuffed with rubbish and wasteful packaging. Prices very fair and competitive - you can get a good deal and still shop local/Irish.

Didn't have any dealings with customer support, but they did send an automated mail after a few days reminding me that I could reach out to them if I didn't receive my parcel. I would definitely recommend and use them again.

[My order was a stick of 32GB RAM, Crucial branded]

Very Impressed

No nonsense online retailer - full disclosure of technical specs (including manufacturer's manuals), highly competitive price tags and fast delivery. Took me a while looking for a new laptop and I'm really glad I chose these guys.

So thank you and keep up your sterling service.

Good web site.

I wish they had an option to pay with PayPal.

Good prices. Very quick delivery. The courier (DPD) even gave me a hour window of when my package would arrive.

Would recommend and I will very likely buy from Elara again.

Thank you

Thank you for your service 😊. On Elara, I found what I couldn't find on Amazon, which was a good deal too. I received my goods on the 3rd day.

Good experience

Had a very good experience. I purchased keyboard and mouse and few other small pieces of hardware like that on a couple of occasions. Always a prompt service and I am happy you return in the future.

Buyer Beware

Buyer Beware - hope you do not receive a faulty unit. Unfortunately, when it comes to after care service, Elara do not have any. This is the first bad review I have left in my life. I have made many purchases from Elara, and luckily all until this last one had no issues. Sooner or later you will find out. A large monitor was delivered and did not work - the base was faulty and would not click in. Elara refused to deal with this, I had to go to the manufacturer. The manufacturer tech support said if I use them, I will be sent a reconditioned unit, not a new unit, so go back through the retailer. Elara continued to refuse to do anything to help. Over 5 weeks later, and still they had refused to collect / take action. I purchased the monitor because I needed it. I started to use the monitor without the stand. The monitor toppled and the screen broke - now I have lost the monitor because they would not take action in any reasonable timeframe. Disgraceful.

Reply from Elara Online - Computer Store

The customer has omitted some details about this return which we would like to clarify. The customer contacted us during the Christmas break one month after he received the product to report an issue. One of our employees while on holiday decided to reply to his email and informed him that he could get a replacement directly from the manufacturer now or wait till we opened in January to sort it out. We were on the Christmas/New year break, not that we were unwilling to help the customer. Customer decided contact the manufacturer as it was the quicker option. The return was approved and collection was about to be arranged but then the customer came back to us as he was told he would get a replacement that is like for like based on the unit he returned. He wanted a new unit. We tried to mediate the issue in January when we returned but was informed that the front of the monitor is cracked and so for this reason warranty was rejected. Nevertheless we still refunded the customer 50% of his cost as a goodwill gesture which the customer accepted.

We apologise for the delay in your son’s Christmas gift. We did not reply earlier to you as you were trying to contact us during the holiday period and got back to you the day we reopened. As explained to you the couriers lost your parcel and we sent a replacement as soon as this was discovered on the 12 Jan, you received the replacement 2 days later. Sorry again about the delay.

Hi, I think you may have the wrong company, we don’t offer next day deliveries, our lead times are 2-3 days when ordered before 4pm so you would not have received and despatch notifications if you only ordered at 11pm in the evening. Please email customerservices@elara.ie or call us on 016251320 and we can follow up on your order. Thank you

Efficient service

I had been let down by a company on Amazon for a monitor and was recommended Elara by a friend. They were easy to deal with as they had a live chat option for any queries. Monitor arrived within the promised 2-3 business days. Really good experience and likely to buy from them again.

Excellent, prompt & good value service

Excellent service, thanks :)

Value - Excellent. Varied selection of products, competitively priced, across a range of prices.

Delivery - Excellent. As expected, my order arrived in 2 - 3 business days and the delivery costs were priced fairly. For efficiency, Elara split my order into two deliveries. Both arrived on time.

User experience - Very good. The website was easy to use, shopping and ordering online was simple. Additional payment methods, like PayPal, would be a bonus; as would more product photos.

Product satisfaction - Excellent, no issues. My products arrived as advertised and in perfect working condition.

Communication - Excellent. Communication was prompt and clear throughout the process, from ordering to invoicing and delivery.

Recommendation - Excellent. I fully recommend Elara.

Fast delivery, no hassle with returns

Made an order and it was dispatched within 24 hours and delivered within 72. I ended up returning the product as I no longer needed it, contacted customer service and they sorted out the return without any hassle or issues. Refund was in my account within 10 days.

Also for anyone worried about brexit issues, this company appear to actually be Irish with products shipped from Dublin.

Will definitely use again in future.

Good service

I ordered from them multiple times, and never had any issues, although I never needed to contact their customer care (which is a good thing I assume).

Beyond expectations!

I normally don’t write reviews but I have to this time. I almost was discouraged by the negative comments, but I’m glad I went with the purchase regardless. The dealing with Elara was a pleasure from start to finish. I enquired over the phone that was picked up fast and the person who I was speaking to was knowledgeable and reassuring. The emails were answered almost instantly. The order arrived within 3 days from placing it WOW! Same item was stuck with Amazon for 2 weeks. Where Amazon has failed, Elara excelled. Everything as described and with a lightning delivery speed, the whole process exceeded my expectations. Thank you!
