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

False Advertising. We purchased a support product for a server and Elara will not deliver on this due to a description error on their website and are looking for us to pay the difference. Avoid at all... See more

I had ordered a high end laptop from the manufacturer's Irish website, who failed to deliver - pushing the delivery date out a full month. I cancelled this order and subsequently ordered the same la... See more

Incredible customer service

Incredible customer service. They went above and beyond to help test my entire pc, not just the part I purchased. Highly recommended!

Great communication

Great communication, fast delivery. Although it clearly stated the next written communication would be to let me know when it would be delivered; as a 1st time buyer on Elara, I'd probably have felt more at ease with an in-between message just to let me know they were still working on the order. The delivery contractor is great particularly with the abiluty to place a pointer on Google maps. Please note that despite of that, if you have got a long address, it may not be transferred from Elara in full. I had to email the courrier to make sure they got the full address.
Overall: excellent sercice and communicatiin, written or verbal.

Returns process is a nightmare.

I'm sorry to say but my experience with Elara so far has been very negative.

I purchased a laptop which came defective: touchscreen randomly registered dozens of clicks per second until turned off. This was reported the very next day after receiving the machine.

So far it has been four workdays, 4 phone calls, 4 email threads, and I still am not allowed to return this machine for a replacement.

Half of these are not even with Elara, but with a third party Elara insists I must contact for authorization to return the defective unit.

I find this pretty unreasonable. I shouldn't have to chase around manufacturers to return a product to a reseller. That's the resellers job.

I'm sorry to give your company a one star but this is a really awful customer experience and it is due to company policies.
