Advice in getting a new pc

Monotype

Oh right, those are only rushed payment fees, then? I thought that they started charging ridiculous amounts for the international transfers.

Yeah they charge a fee for urgent ones (although I don't see how it could get any faster). I do non-urgent so its free and hwvs confirm the payment next morning if I do the transfer before 4pm.

when i first phoned AIB i was told cheapest bank transfer i could do was €15 online standard (he might have been wrong), i used my online banking and urgent cost €12.70

Could you pm me what it says under 'view more detail' on your transfer

A few people here had issues with the payment taking longer than expected to go through and they had to call them to sort it out.

I've never had an issue though but I enter the 'intended purpose' twice.... on the 'Senders message for receiver' and the 'Senders reference' when you click next after filling in payment details.

I get an email, it never takes 5 days for normal transfer for me. Next day or 2 days max if you do it after 4pm.

They'll change the status on your order page if they get the payment to 'payment received'. I think it always takes a bit longer the first time you send them a payment from your account.

im sure the fact that they wont be posting until tuesday at the earliest is also a factor? gpu wont be in stock until tuesday

Monotype

Nah, they'll usually update the page anyway. What day did you send it off? Yesterday? Yes, it could easily be Monday by the time they'd have it. Probably early money and if they have stock set aside and you're lucky, they might ship before the end of the day.

spix

He pm'd me the transfer details and looks like he forgot to add the 'Intended purpose' and put his order number/customer number instead.

I've seen at least 2 other threads where people have done this and asked why their payment hasn't gone through yet... they had to phone them to sort it out.

I'll make a thread about it so nobody else forgets

pcadvice

third time calling go through to a guy that could speak english, his boss is gone until monday but he will sort it monday and send confimation email

Hey guys the pc came today and im in the middle of building not doing to bad i must admit but ive hit a wall the Samsung ssd i got ive no clue where i mount it on the case, any vids i watch says i need an adapter thing for it but i didnt get one i only got the card any clues on what i need to do ?

Monotype

Just leave it at the bottom of the case. There's no moving parts so it won't be vibrating or get damaged if you're not vigorously moving the case around.
