    In particular does anyone know what exactly they mean by "Logistics Costs"

    They have a shipping charge to Ireland of €20 plus Logistics charge.

    How do you know the cost of the logistics for an order of let's say 10 items?
    It will cost €5.87 for 10 items. Just go through the order screens and it will tell you the price.

    From Hardwareversand’s site

    “Logistic costs in amount of 0,75% of the gross value of the goods indl. value tax coming along for deliveries within Germany and abroad.”

    That’s 75 cent for every 100 Euro, excluding shipping.

    hardwareversand have great prices

    another company id recommend is www.caseking.de

    i ordered a scythe ninja a silenx ixtrema fan , and a fan controller

    bank transfer went great , it got here with in 4 days , courier delivered into my school because he knew the secretary , thats what i call service XD

    Whats the postage like?...my iisue with German websites it s the postage. If they sent stuff by normal German postal service it would be great, but most use UPS or FexEX/TNT...which costs alot.

    I asked alternate.de about a €14 fan and they wanted €25 for shipping :eek:

    hardwareversand.de only accept bank transfer, right? Is that not a bit risky?

    Nah, as long as you have the correct SWIFT/BIC code and IBAN..done money transfers before and all went ok. Also it's free...money transfers within the EU. If you send Sterling to the UK AIB charge €15 + OCUK demand you pay them £7 Sterling for what they claim is there bank charges??????

    What?..OCUK sucks, i'll never use them again unless i can't find an item anywhere else.

    I was thinking more along the lines of sending them money, and then not receiving your stuff and having no comeback - unlike a credit card where you can chargeback. But their prices are too good and going to definitely use them now!

    I bought components and monitor from hardwareversand and have no complaints. They provide a good service

    On the otherhand the Asus Mainboard they shipped is faulty so I had to pay €34
    the have it shipped back to them. I will be waiting up to three weeks for a replacement but will be reinbursed the postage cost.

    Anyone know of any german stores that will take credit card as Im thinking of asking for a refund and buying the board elsewhere as it will be quicker.

    shipping from caseking to ireland was 13.90 , which is very resonable

    no it's 2ms thats what it says on the box. Actually i just noticed something, be careful of the specs on the site, the german versions are correct but the english ones are frequently not and seem to be copy and pasted from similar items. So when your checkin spec make sure you select the german flag.

    try babelfish.altavista.com for translations.

    I'm starting to regret buying from hardwareversand. I ordered on the 11th, the got payment on the 14th and they still haven't shipped. After 2 or 3 emails I got a reply last Wednesday saying they were waiting for the gfx card to come in to stock on Friday. It came in and they still haven't shipped. Every part has been in stock at various times over the last 2 weeks. I sent them a lengthy pissed off email yesterday morning - no response. Just tried to send them a fax but it's a premium rate line which is blocked in the pabx in work so I can't. Rang them from my mobile and couldn't get anyone who spoke English.

    Unless they ship by Friday I'm demanding my money back and cancelling. At this stage I'd rather spend an extra 100-200 elsewhere for reliablility.

    I'll let you know how I get on.
