Watch out for overclockers.co.uk. They have some tempting stock but here's 9 pages of bad reviews.

I use www.microdirect.co.uk
Id avoid both overclockers and Tekheads. Ebuyer are cheap, but their customer service is non-existant.

Seconded.
Overclockers.co.uk are a bit more expensive, but their customer service is very good in my experience.
Ebuyer are often cheaper by a couple of pounds, but beware of slightly wrong descriptions on their site. If you ever need to call them up, you'll straight away discover where they're making cuts to save money...
....actually, that's not true - their "on hold" system must be a glistening example of technology - able to keep almost all the UK on hold at any given time.
Scan, i've only ordered from once, and their service was also exceptional.

www.overclockers.co.uk can be a pain, just make sure what you are ordering is in stock before you do so. (Via email, not what it says on the site)

www.komplett.co.uk are quite highly priced for the most part, but sometimes have real bargains on their latest and clearance stuff.

Under UK sales law all you need for an online or telephone sale is a credit or debit card receipt, they are legally bound to check their reconrds and confirm whether or not you made the purchase.

Owch... I've ordered from them 5 times, I think (probably more), and each time, i've been nothing but thoroughly satisfied. I had to call them once, and I was on hold for 3 minutes, although that was a good year ago, so things might have changed since.

Ive used and use regulary ebuyer and microdirect. www.kustompcs.co.uk havn't been mentioned, items are generally more expensive then the other shops mentioned, but their deliveries and sales support are really good.

Ebuyer are diabolical. 1/2 of the approx 5-10 orders I have placed with them have been delayed, damaged, missing, not actually in stock or the wrong item. I will never use them again and I encourage you to do likewise. Your choice however.
I have used Komplett before - they seem pretty good except from once shipping me an order for a dualproc board and two CPUs and only sending one CPU ...
Scan seem to be pretty good and are probably the best price vs customer service company.
Also: handy hint.
You have 7 days to return unopened stock without penalty under the Distance Selling Act in the UK.
Also gonna move this to Vendor Discussion.

I'm starting to agree with you - i'd rather pay a few quid more, if it ensures that I won't have any trouble with my goods - I mean, often i'm spending at least £100 on parts, you'd have thought that they could at least get their act together and give people what they paid their good money for.
