Tue 27th i received a RMA number to return it to them , Post office special delivery , cost £22.70 next day delivery insured an sign for at delivery .
Now the fun starts , they tested it 2/4/12 yes its faulty BUT we no longer stock it ! so we have to sent it to XFX for testing 28 days !!!! IF they say its Dead they will replace or refund Aria , But i have to wait till then .
according to their web site if the no longer stock an item they will replace it with a equivalent replacement or refund .
NOT ! if i don't wait the 28 days i can have a refund but at a lower value as its now used and cheaper to buy
so basically i dont think i will advise anyone to use " ARIA PC " crap customer service

If you have a look at the Scan forums you will see the same problems
Regarding refund taking into account the use you have had of it - Scan operate the same system - it is based upon the expected life being the warranty period.
As far as i know this has never been taken to court although it probably isn't legal under the Sale of Goods Act

[quote=Sale of Goods Act]If the retailer offers to repair the good, they must do this within a reasonable time, at no additional cost to the consumer and without causing any significant inconvenience. Alternatively, if repair is impossible or unfeasible, the consumer should be offered a replacement good on a ‘like for like’ basis (and not simply the cheapest and most basic model). If a repair or replacement is not offered, any refund given may take account of any use the consumer may have had of the good since they took possession of it, and the purchase price reduced by an appropriate amount.
But what constitutes a reasonable time is subject to debate.
My experience with Aria is quite different.
A PC I purchased from them on behalf of my mother had a faulty wireless card. I receievd the RMA email the next day and it was collected by courier the day after. That was last week. It is now on the way back to my mother's. Obviously I need to go round and check it but fingers crossed...

i posted my comments on the Aria forums , and it looks like it is Normal practice for them to automatically make you wait 28 days, what ever you return so they get their refund from the manufacturer first before their customers are sorted out :-[.
in fact there is a few complaints there already , also i have pointed out <that no where on their web site it mentions this ! in fact all they advertise on the site is "Our aim is to arrange refunds within seven working days but this may take longer during busy periods." and,, If you return a faulty item and that product has been discontinued, we will replace this for a similar specification item or a like for like replacement product...
I am no expert but if this is what they are advertising but in fact dont do either is it false advertising ?.
so far they have had my PSU they received it on the 22 march , tested 27 march, so close to four weeks and not looking like i will get another replacement 3 weeks .
absolutely the worst customer care I have ever encounterd , lack of communication ! , Failed to return phone calls as promised, Failed to email as promised !.
And i am still waiting for Email confirmation that they tested it Faulty !!

All my calls to their CS have been answered quickly and have obtained updates on how things have progressed each time and even had a call back when the relevant person was busy.
I am slightly disapointed that my mother's PC didn't arrive on Thursday but expect it could have been delayed as I requested they change the return address from mine to hers - this was after I was originally told it was about to go out.
You're right, I could just be lucky but I have been buying from them for a number of years and this was the first problem with any hardware I'd encountered.
Have just bought most of the components for my new PC from them. They arrived the next day and I have checked the boxes and everything seems to be in place.

In Nov 2010 I purchased a 1.5TB HDD from them for SWMBO which was faulty (failed to format). A replacement was sent but we never got to test it till a few months later. On contacting Scan they had sold out of that model and didn't have any other 1.5TB available so sent a brand new 2TB replacement
