Thanks. I've made contact now.

Thanks anyway! Do you know if live chat is off air? I can’t find on the contacts page on a desktop browser

He must have performed magic because I’ve just had an email to say it’s awaiting dispatch 😀 Only problem now is it’s not supposed to be dispatched. I’m collecting it. Need to get in contact to check when I can and can’t find live chat looking on the contact page.

😂 If you’re serious, then thank you!

To me, personally, all such reports would help a lot. It would tell me what was happening, why there’s a delay and why I could accept the delay was warranted. No such reports just leaves me wondering if anything is happening at all. Telling me “they’re doing everything they can” doesn’t calm me...

WARNING ⚠️ Do not get over-excited by the any message saying it’s going into build. Mine was in build for just two hours before going into Test. That was on August 4. It’s now Aug 13 and it’s still in Test. In all that time, PCS have not initiated any communication about what is causing the...

You might have a point. I’m venting because my frustration has built to boiling point after zero updates initiated by PCS between Aug 4 and Aug 13. Is a one-line note following each test action (to comply with their claim to add notes to the order in the event of issues) too much to expect? Im...

Well I agree with much of that. Of course, it’s harder for the advisers to get clear answers when they’re working from home. And, yes, much better to delay sending the system until it’s been thoroughly tested. My criticism is the lack of communication from the testers and I can’t see why...

Lucky you. My system went into build on Day 20 (a day later than they’d been consistently telling me). Two hours later, it went into Test. Seven working days later, it’s still in Test and in all that time there hasn’t been a single message from the testing team about any issues. I know they have...

A few days ago I posted a question about how long was normal for a PC to be stuck “on Test”. At the time of posting mine had been on test for four days with no issues noted. After seven working days, it’s still stuck there and the only feedback I’ve had has been extracted after long waits...

No I didn’t do that. I’m due to collect when it’s ready. I’m supposed to get an email to advise when it is but heard nothing. Now five full working days on Test and still no progress report or notes added to the order.

Unfortunately PCS are being far from helpful. Four and a half working days in test now. No notes attached to the order. Phoned and was told there was a difficulty configuring Windows. Had an email to say they were short of testers. Best estimate was “as soon as we can”. Could anything be more...

Thank you. Very helpful. I’ll do that.

Can anyone advise what is normal for the time spent testing. My “being built” stage was only a couple of hours after 20 days in “Pre-production” but it’s now been “Testing” for 2.5 days with no reports or issues noted. This seems inordinately long.

Thank you - I'll do that.

Thanks again. Really helpful!

@Nursemorph @Scott Thank you both for your input which has been really thought-provoking and helpful. My budget was was actually higher than I'd spent in my initial configuration and I was rather expecting advice to pay out a bit more to get the type of system I was looking for. Having done a...

After nearly ten years of fairly solid performance from a top-end PCS machine (order 363163), I'm ready to order a new PC. The current PC is showing signs of having been on almost constantly (backup run overnight every night). I need to constantly over-ride the "over-temperature" warning at each...
