5: Why should I buy form you, instead of some large company like Dell?
A: At Arbico, we are proud of being the producers of some of the best custom built PC's available in the UK. Our machines regularly win awards in UK publications such as PC Advisor and Arbico has won the most PC Advisor Best Buy awards in the year 2007, beating some of the larger names in the industry.
Also, we don't over price our PC's which means we have some of the best deals around. They may be hundreds of pounds cheaper than the high street price for similar PC's, but if you do a benchmark test you will find that they can outperform most of their competitors.
Apart from building some of the fastest PC's we believe in providing you the best custom built solution coupled with an extremely responsive and personal customer service. Our customers get prompt responses to their emails and phone calls in a very professional manner, before they actually make any purchase. Larger company's as we're sure you're aware have millions of customers and so the few dissatisfied customers are lost in a sea of thousands. However, we at Arbico deal with a few hundred select PC builds every month. Most of our business comes for repeat purchases and recommendations. We depend on our customers to be satisfied in order to grow and thus we offer a high level of personal customer care. We also have a
99.9% positive feed back on eBay with over ten thousand unique customers providing a positive comment, This is a testament to the unique customer service experience that we offer, the likes of which are unheard of in the IT Industry.

8: I found a PC part for cheaper than
you are selling?
A: At Arbico we offer some of the lowest prices in the UK. We regularly hear from customers who comment that they saved hundreds of pounds by shopping at Arbico. However, on a few occasions we also have some customers who say that they could get the PC cheaper from elsewhere. We understand this. At Arbico we do not cater to people looking for just another run of the mill £300 PC package. Apart from using quality brand name components rather than the cheapest possible parts, we have invested a substantial amount of time and money in designing a range of high performance award winning Custom Built PC's coupled with a top end customer support team. As such at Arbico we appreciate that quality comes at a price and so we don't attempt to cut corners. We don't claim that we can make the cheapest PC's out there but we can certainly claim that we can offer some of the best.
