Mwave is Australia's leading online computer and accessories store. Buy Computer Hardware, Cheap Computer Parts and Discount Computers from specialists.
Have a few things that are hard to find elsewhere, like Cubitek aluminium cases. Shipping is amazingly cheap - $10 for an enormous 20kg box, arrived fast too
Order gets CANCELLED after payment for Rush Hour Deal.... They advertise cheap bargain price with limited stocks, will not honour your item even you finished the payment with order number provided!
I purchased Samsung SE-208AB/TSBSA 8x Slim USB External Dual-Layer DVD Burner Drive - USB 2.0 Powered and it arrived well in its box after 4 days. Very happy. Will buy from again.
I brought a Linksys E1500 wireless router when M Wave was having an hour-long flash sale. It came with free shipping and a $30 rebate that Cisco Australia offered. That essentially made the router free. The ordering process was terrible as their servers struggled to keep up with the load during the flash sale and pages takes more than 10 minutes to load.
Ordered a 1M CAT6 network cable from Mwave with the order shipped from their warehouse the next day. The cable arrived one week after my initial purchase order.
The site itself is known to struggle during their 1 hour only special promotions, so don't expect to grab any bargains when these are on offer. They should be more transparent on stock levels during these promotions to save people from bitter disappointment.
I spent a bit of time researching Mwave. The prices for the site were great in comparison. I was looking at a new modem and monitor for my PC. I decided to give it a go. The only hiccup I found was you have to register and then approve your payment method. They charge you a small transaction (0.1 cent kind of thing) and you need to confirm what they charged so they know you're the credit card holder. This is good for security, sure, but my bank thought it was a fraudulent transaction (someone trying to skim my account) and put all my accounts on hold!! The bank fixed it really quick and I eventually got my products from Mwave without any other drama. Took around 5 business days to arrive. Not bad.
Having shopped quiet a bit of PC hardware, Mwave is always reliable and quick from big purchases to small individual parts.
Recently bought a new hard drive and pricing was reasonable and delivery prompt. The HD was also well protected which was important as you certainly don't want a hard drive that breaks on you.
Overall, one of the best for PC hardware in Australia
