I know there's a squillion reviews on Jungle.com, but given my recent experience with them I felt I had to add my comments to the mass. I wanted to upgrade my friend's PC to include a CDRW drive. There's a tonne of these on the market nowadays, and I did some thorough research before starting a bargain hunt. One thing about me - I hate paying over-the-odds for goods, so the price of the item was imperative. I actually browsed onto Jungle as an afterthought - normally I would use Novatech or other peripheral websites, and it was a flippant click of the mouse that saw me arrive at Jungle.com. I'm very glad I did.. ...  Read the complete review

Ordered a CD rewriter advertised in the Jungle sale. Item was stated as "in stock" when I ordered. As soon as the order was accepted the delivery time said 8 days. Emailed customer services to find out why the delay - reply was "Although we try to keep the site as accurate as possible, at the rate we sell this is not always possible". Hmm - Dabs, Ebuyer etc can manage it OK. Got a message on the answerphone a week later to say item will take up to 4 weeks to arrive. Emailed customer services asking them to swap order to a different make which was advertised at the same price. Get a reply stating they "can't ...  Read the complete review

After seeing a bargain at Jungle.com, I ordered my TV & video. Using their web site I monitored the delivery date, until it said the order was closed and the goods had been despatched. In order to make sure that I was in when the goods arrived I rang them on a Friday, and they said delivery would be on the next Monday or Tuesday, but if I rang them again they would find out. By the end of business on Friday no answer. All day Monday no answer, and as of now, midday Tuesday no answer. I think their customer service stinks, they say they can't contact their delivery service, so they can't tell me when the delivery is due. How long do they think I can stay ...  Read the complete review

I've used jungle.com a number of times for purchasing computer equipment and accessories. The prices are generally very competitive and often cheaper than other places I've looked at, even after delivery charges. As long as the item is in stock, delivery is prompt. However, last week I ordered a printer and some paper and unfortunately the paper was out of stock and had a message that it would be 'available within 7 days'. Despite this, the estimated dispatch date for my order was 3 weeks! Ok, I accept that jungle.com have to order the out of stock item from the supplier, but the 7 day availability estimate is way off. And paper is ...  Read the complete review

I first came across Jungle.com when it was time to purchase some new speakers for my pc. After doing a search it seemed that Jungle were the only UK online retailer who actually stocked the TEAC ones that I wanted. It gave me confidence that Jungle are part of the Argos Retail Group – I am always full of praise for Argos – so off I went into the Jungle on my search…… First Impressions ----------------- Very green and white – can’t miss their corporate colour - green! There does seem to be a real niggly bit to their website – I can’t quite say what it is but it almost seems like I am waiting for each page ...  Read the complete review
