It's that busy time of year again at UK Gaming Computers, but we're fully stocked and ready for the surge in orders during this festive season. To meet the increased demand in November and December, we order larger quantities of stock to ensure we don't run out of anything. This strategy allows us to secure better deals from our suppliers, which we pass on to you, resulting in price drops across all our PC ranges.
Our Christmas deals run from the 2nd of December, to the 31st of December and we guarantee there will be no further price drops between now and then otherwise we will refund you double the difference, however we cannot guarantee prices will rise so now is the time to get your orders in if you are hunting for the best prices possible.
Delivery Dates & Order Cut-offs
Here at UK Gaming Computers we sell two mains types of computers; "pre-built next day" systems that are off the shelf and cannot be customised (other than adding a swish set of peripherals), and fully custom bespoke built-to-order PCs which take time to assemble and test. For the latter there are strict cut-offs in place to ensure your order is ready to ship in time for a delivery before Christmas Day. The last day our courier will be delivering is the 23rd of December, meaning all orders need to leave our warehouse on the afternoon of the 20th, or the 19th if you're in an area of the country on a two-day delivery service.
Please be reminded that, being the last delivery day before Christmas, DPD will be exceptionally busy so if any problems arise on their end, they are unlikely to be resolved by Christmas Day.
Standard Build & Test Time with 16GB of RAM - Friday 6th December by midday
Priority Build & Test Time with 16GB of RAM - Friday 13th of December by midday
Standard Build & Test Time with 32GB of RAM - Thursday 5th December by midday
Priority Build & Test Time with 32GB of RAM - Thursday 12th of December by midday
All "Pre built next day systems" - Friday 20th of December by midday
Please also be aware of additional build and test time required for some configurations, including additional RAM, overclocks and custom watercooling. Full details on your build & test time can be found here.
If you’ve left it too late then we do have increased stock of our Pre-Built PCs which are already built, tested and packaged and ready to ship. Our “Super Rush Job” build & test time is also available as normal but we fully expect it to be in high demand for last minute orders so do please call us before ordering an SRJ as we only take on one of these jobs at a time so we can devote our full attention to it.
Whilst we try our hardest to fulfil as many orders as possible, any systems ordered after any of these dates, whilst likely to be completed, are not guaranteed for a delivery before Christmas.
PCs are able to be collected up until Tuesday the 24th which is our last working day before Santa arrives.

Extended Returns & Order Advice
As the highest customer rated dedicated custom PC builder in the country, our services are very much in demand at this time of year, meaning our already busy workload goes through the roof, which puts a significant strain on our resources. In previous years we have had to simply stop taking orders to ensure that all orders already places were fulfilled by the big day, this is why we get our seasonal deal pricing live as early as possible and freeze pricing to make sure that ordering early doesn't mean you miss out on the best prices. For this reason, we strongly urge customers to places orders sooner rather than later.
We have also extended our returns policy to the 15th of January for any orders made after 13/11/24 so if you do want to return the PC for whatever reason, you still are able to after the Christmas break, in line with our standard returns policy.
Finally, we wish to thank all of our customers, past, present and future a Merry Christmas and a happy new year!
