I've bought heaps of these guys online, but there is really something about going into the actual store and being able to walk home with a new graphics card and install it that takes the cake.
PB Technologies has to be Auckland's cheapest and best electronics store - don't bother going to Dick Smith or the like, just come here with a list of what you need. Rather then getting a warranty which is really just a joke - like certain shops where you pay a deposit to find out whether or not they deem the fault "user originated," PB Tech do the repairs themselves. They also are happy to offer advice on whatever purchases you are making.

PB Tech is super cheap - so cheap it's almost suspicious - but with the amount of times I've shopped here I've never once found evidence of it being a front for laundering money or stolen goods. It's just genuinely really cheap.

It's just genuinely really cheap. If it isn't cheap enough, you can even save more money by paying in cash, or at the university outlet by being a student or staff member. So great.
I don't even bother price checking with other electronic stores anymore cause with their mark-ups there's just no point. The location in Henderson is also super handy - while I usually try and avoid shopping malls like the plague, PB Tech isn't inside Westcity itself but outside which makes the experience all that much easier. I don't go very often, usually only every now and again to replace all my obsolete/broken/missing bits and pieces at once, but when I do I get it all at PB Tech and I don't feel ripped off doing it, which is saying something at an electronics shop.

The main draw of PB Technologies is the prices - they are considerably cheaper than the other electrical stores and if you need a new tablet or laptop, this is the place to come. As regards the staff, you do not really get the personal touch. They seem a little indifferent as if you're just another customer to them but I suppose at least they are not pushy. In fairness they are quite knowledgeable about computers and if you go to the likes of Noel Leeming for a computer, the assitant might not have the specific knowledge that these guys have. Overall, if you want a cheap computer, you are unlikely to get a better deal than this place.

They have a huge range of electronics goods from TV's to mobiles, and all the bits and pieces that go with, usually with better prices than other chain electronics stores.
Since I discovered the chain a few years ago, I haven't been anywhere else, as their range is better than anywhere else. I've been in half a dozen times and every time I come away with just what I wanted.
Also, their in-house warranty is actually worth something, as they do all their repairs themselves, and seem to know a lot more than your average Harvey Norman or Bond and Bond.
I'd also recommend signing up to their newsletter as they'll keep you up to date with their frequent sales, making for even better value.

They sell all kinds of computer components, which they will amalgamate into a complete computer for only a small charge above the cost of the components. By choosing all the components separately, I put together a desktop computer which rivaled the processing power and graphical capabilities of anything else on the market, at only a fraction of the cost - I literally saved like $500. You would not believe the mark up which a lot of the chain retail electronic shops place on computers. Really cheap computing stuff.

I am writing to congratulate you and your staff for positive, friendly and expert service you provide for your customers.

Last week one of your staff members organised for an i-pad to be fixed within 36 hours so we could send it to Amsterdam with a friend who was then able to deliver it to our son (who is currently living over there).

Today, I had a problem with Outlook. I was passing by PB Tech and decided to see if your staff could fix it for me. Within a few minutes, the problem was sorted (it was reading for a double screen - a simple solution) but the technician was helpful and persistent in getting the problem sorted.

This is the sort of service that makes PB Tech our first stop destination for anything electronic. And we will happily be telling our friends about the excellent service you provide.

Well done and thank you.

Kind regards
Jan

Last week I purchased a computer from PB Technologies Northshore Ltd and Dylan was the Technician who transferred data from my old computer to the new one, an external hard drive, plus another user. He also installed a number of items such as Google Earth.

Additionally, he provided a most useful amount of personal advice on using the new computer.

Throughout, Dylan was very professional in his approach to his tasks and showed a considerable knowledge of what was needed to satisfy my questions. At all times he was very personable and cheerful, even when posed with very basic queries! He also offered to help me at any time I needed it, and this was very much appreciated and his advice after the transfer has already helped me to locate some of the transferred data.

I want to place on record my appreciation of Dylan's very good abilities and approach to his work.

I am sending this email in regards to the excellent customer service I received today at your Wairau store. I brought my laptop in to look at getting the fan cleaned. I was assisted by Dylan, who gave me two options and some helpful advice regarding general maintaninece of my laptop. After blowing some compressed air externally, we turned it on to see how it was running. Dylan told me that I would greatly benefit from buying 2 GB of RAM because it was very slow, which I then bought. Dylan was freindly, approachable, helpful and had a comprehnesive product knowledge. I ended up fixing two problems in one visit. Please send my compliments to him.

Regards,
Katie

This morning I received two replacement drives. Thats a turn-around of two business days! I just wanted to say how impressed I am with the service that I have received. Being a return under the manufacturers warranty I had expected a bit of a fight, or at the very least a few weeks for the drives to be tested, confirmed broke and swapped out, but no, none of that. Job well done. Many thanks to you and your team.

Thank you so much for your time and excellent customer service. Shane and I went to 4 other outlets yesterday and all outlets had appalling service compared to what we experienced with you yesterday. And now you deliver this very detailed and yet very clear email outlining the pros and cons of my choices. I am thoroughly impressed.

Thank you again for all your time and flawless customer service. I will come back to you by next week with what I have to purchase once I have discussed this with Jenny.

Please let me know the details of your manager, as I think you are a valuable asset to their company and I would like them to know this as well.

Best wishes
