Where else can I buy?

To PC builders from the UK
I want to buy a gaming monitor. But Scan.uk doesn't have it on stock. It cannot even be pre-ordered. It's unfortunate because I normally buy from them. Argos and Currys have it though. I've had a bad experience with Overclockers.uk before so it's a big no. Do you think it's a good idea to buy it from Argor or Currys?

Why would it be a "bad idea" to buy from Argos or Curries? Both have pretty good returns policies.
Other than Scan and Overclockers, Amazon UK (direct from them, not random 3rd party sellers), Novatech, CCL, AWD-IT are all options I've used.

Have you heard of this site called Amazon? lol

depends a lot where you live in the UK, Amazon for me is notorious for just abandoning expensive items on the street, I had a £800 camera lens left once in my close where some random junkie could have easily taken it, and one other time in my old place they put an item in my wheelie bin. On bin day.

Never had a single issue where I stay tbh. I have on my account though “do not leave in a safe space” so I only get a delivery if it’s handed to someone in my home

Yes they also have it, but it's an expensive gaming monitor (QD OLED technology). And it's written 2 years instead of 3 years for the warranty.

I’ve bought almost all of mine through them tbh. Best prices for majority of stuff and easiest delivery. You should look at what the actual manufacturers warranty is not what Amazon offer. Also check who the seller is via Amazon first. Lot of basic things to make sure of when buying from Amazon but it’s fine to do so. Also your goods are protected by your consumer rights within the UK and you have 5 or 6 years I think under law. Have a look online if warranty is your biggest worry here.

Buy from wherever you're comfortable with doing so as you're already decided on places that you do not want to shop from.
