    Companies undercut each other all the time. Scan don't always have the cheapest. Sometimes it's OCUK, others it's Scan, others Aria or CCL. I check them all and simply order from where is cheapest, as I trust all of the companies I mentioned.

    I've bought a few things from Aria tbh only because they were the only one's with the thing I wanted, After sale's is piss poor though.

    Overcockers I wouldn't believe them is they said day was light and night was dark.

    I usually only buy from Scan & Ebuyer (& sometimes CCL but I don't like their website) because when you factor in £10 for delivery it's almost always the cheapest.

    OCUK Forums have dispicable rules and enforcements

    Seeing as Bit-tech is the official forum for Scan and CCL, I'll let you do the maths as to which of the three is the best to use

    OcUK Forums are enormous though.. its not rare to see 1000+ members logged in with even more guests. A very busy forums indeed. Can you imagine bindi with his hammer in there? He would wear it out!

    I've never even been close to ordering from them simply because there prices are that competitive...

    Glad I haven't, sounds like a right douche.

    Scan have never let me down so far and with free delivery they're often the cheapest. I buy pretty much everything from them unless somewhere else has it significantly cheaper.

    We give free delivery!

    The current site is well known to be quite weak when compared to the competition, why we have been working on a shiny new one that is 1000x better.

    Will be going live in the near future, keep your eyes out. :)

    It will be live soon enough, keep everyone in suspense until the moment arrives.

    We wont release it until we think it is ready and in a position where it is better than our current site in everyway.

    Once it is live we will continue to improve on it, just a much better base to build on. :)

    We're aware of a number of people/customers who agree with you.

    The new site will improve customers experience no end. We'll then be cutting edge again like we used to be.

    Game on :rock:

    I would love to offer some advice there, but even when you use the search daily it can still catch you out.

    All I can say is the new website is a thousand times better for finding items, its a lot quicker even on a development server, it looks a lot nicer and is a lot simpler for new customers to use.

    For the meantime if people are struggling to find items just post in the CCL section on Bit-Tech and we will link you up (providing we can find them...).

    Just be sure to keep an eye on our site, the new one will be quite impressive when it goes live and we get everything running 100%.

    EDIT:- Beaten to it by Mikey!
