The Component Warehouse Team.
Component Warehouse is looking for link exchanges with high quality tech/gadget blogs or websites. We’re looking for a maximum of 3 websites, and you links will be displayed at the bottom of every webpage on the Component Warehouse website. If you are interested, please comment below with a link to your site.
Component Warehouse is currently testing out its new Affiliate Program! This scheme offers an easy way for you to earn extra cash for doing almost nothing*. When you refer a customer who goes on to buy an item, you’ll be paid 10% of the overall sale amount! But remember, this is still in the testing phase, so don’t go posting your links and codes about the web just yet. We’ll post here again when it’s ready for the full release.
*A quick setup time is required. This includes placing the link code on your website or putting links in email messages. Put the links wherever you want, just don’t spam people.
We will soon be opening up our new Computer Repairs & Maintenance section of Component Warehouse! We aren’t giving out too many details yet, but we’ll be taking on most repairs and computer maintenance tasks, and will offer a computer refresh, guaranteed to get your computer back into shape!
This service will be available to customers around the Whitstable area, Kent, UK of current. We will keep you updated with more news on our blog as it becomes available.
Component Warehouse will soon be improving their product support pages. This means that buying from us will come with even more piece of mind. It also means that you should be able to find much more support for the product you want.
But remember, if you can’t find support on our website, we’re still there, normally answering your emails within 24 hours!
We’ll soon be adding product video’s to some of the product pages on Component Warehouse. To kick things off, we’ve added a video to the Rotating & Floating Photo Frame. You can watch the video on the product page, or below:

Component Warehouse has now started selling items on eBay! We are starting with a few of our legendary digital photo frames. If you like our products, you can now buy them through the secure eBay service, paying with PayPal. Although we accept PayPal on our website as a very secure way to pay, but we feel that some people would rather complete the whole transaction with the peace of mind provided by the eBay and PayPal buyer protection schemes.
You can view all the items we currently have listed on eBay here.
REMEMBER! Our price maybe slightly more expensive than the other eBay sellers, but our items are already in the UK, meaning that there’ll be no surprise taxes to pay. We also backup our products with full support, unlike some sellers.
Yesterday, I received an email asking for support for an MP4 Player we sell at Component Warehouse. I gladly sent a few pointers, although I could not remember selling an MP4 player to the said person. About 30 minutes later, I received an email back saying that they had already tried the points I suggested, and that they had bought the MP4 player from an Amazon seller, who had recommended them to our quick start guide!
The Amazon seller had sold the MP4 player, and then (with their great customer support) told the buyer to take a look at our support pages, saying that tech support would not be around until Friday! So, next time you think about trying to save a few extra £’s using Amazon, remember this story, and that it might not be worth it after all.
Royal Mail is a UK postage company, for those of you who are not in the UK. Now, they really are great, they deliver to any address within the UK for the same low price. They deliver daily (except Sundays) and most items get there fairly quickly.
But when we are shipping across countries, we tend to use DHL, who are one of the biggest couriers. Now, DHL may be more expensive, but the thing that startled us was that a parcel with DHL could get from China to the UK, including being collected and delivered to our address, in a day! Yes, that’s around 24 hours (excluding the change in time zones) to get from China to the UK. Now if we were to post an item with Royal Mail at 11 in the morning, even to a house down the road, you’d have to use an expensive Next Day service service to get it there in 24 hours.
Come on Royal Mail, sort it out.
Today, Component Warehouse received a large delivery containing samples of many items along with many more items to replenish our stock. This means that many more of our items are now dispatched within 24 hours, as indicated on the product page.
Remember to check out the site soon, as our items will sell out fast!
