Order processing update: From 13 July to 4 August, our team will have reduced availability. Orders can still be placed as usual during this time, though processing, dispatch, and replies to enquiries may take a little longer than usual. More complicated or technical questions may be best left until we're back to assist you properly. In-person pickups can still be booked as normal at this stage, though availability may be limited, so it is best to check the booking page below for current times. Things will be getting back to relatively normal after this time. Thanks for your patience.

Special Orders-Can't Find What You Need

If you’re after a specific laptop or device that isn’t listed, we can often source something with similar specifications through our supplier network, giving you more options than what’s currently available on the site.

Availability can vary, and pricing may differ from our standard refurbished range, with some options costing more than devices currently in stock. Specific models, configurations, and cosmetic condition will depend on what is available at the time of ordering.

If you have specific requirements, it’s best to include as much detail as possible, such as intended use, preferred specs (e.g. RAM, storage, processor), and whether you have a strict budget or some flexibility. Storage can often be upgraded later, while RAM may be fixed on some models.

We can recommend suitable options based on your needs and specs, helping you find the right fit without the guesswork, so you can decide what works best for your budget and if the pricing suits you.

As these are special order items, availability can change quickly. We may need confirmation within a short timeframe, as suppliers generally won’t hold stock without payment. Please note that payment is required before placing a special order.

Submit an enquiry and we’ll come back to you with tailored options and current pricing.
