Important updates

  • Customer Service via OzBargain Inbox: In the current environment, I need to ask everyone to please direct all enquiries - status updates, technical support, etc - to either [email protected] or [email protected], not my OzB account, to help us keep every query in the same location. I can't guarantee a reply on OzB at the moment so please don't send anything urgent there.

  • Customer service times are extended at the moment under heavy load, so please understand if it takes more than 24 hours for a reply - you will get a reply as soon as it is possible. We're adding extra staff and resources to deal with the increased volume of enquiries.

  • Dispatch times: Our current shipping estimate is 14 business days for new orders. We're shipping the entire backlog of Intel i7 orders this week after COVID delays, Ryzen 9 systems next week and B450 Mortar orders (also COVID delays, some overdue orders here) will be next week, either with Mortar or equivalent replacement - an email update is coming to customers on that today so please check your inbox later. And all others due around now are very close to shipping - perhaps a couple of days over estimate but catching up quickly.

Thanks, and have a happy Easter (at home).

      • OnlineShopper123 on 10/04/2020 - 22:55

        Because people may flood his messages. And ozbargain's messages don't actually have any push notifications.

      From the PC I've ordered. If I was to get the cheapest parts and build it the same on U-mart/scoprtech etc it would have cost me more than going through Techfast. Even if they have the cheapest parts across the board it's still a good deal.

    Hey Luke, Any chance of being able to replicate this previous deal? Ryzen 5 3500X | RX 5700 Gaming PC(techfast.com.au) $999 with code: 3500X-5700-MAR

      @dievasz , please roll through the forum and comments. Techfast is more like a scam. they been ignoring customer email and complaints, sending out bad quality items. The things you get for what you paid for $999 might only be worth $799. AND AND YOU WILL BE WAITING FOR ATLEAST 30DAYS FOR THOSE CRAPPY ITEMS.
      Think carefully.

    Made an order on 19 March for the GTX1070 FE. I got an email last week (after complete silence) that the shipment of cards was 'damaged'.

    Their offer was:
    1. A straight replacement for a GTX 1660 6GB or RX 580 8GB. Two cards which are substantially worse than the GTX1070FE.
    2. I have to pay $350 for an 'upgrade' to a RX 5700. Which is only marginally better than the 1070.
    3. Refund.

    After waiting a month to find out I was going to pay the same price for a worse system, not happy.

    • Danta on 14/04/2020 - 15:52

      To be fair, the stock arrived damaged. What do you want them to do, make a loss on something that is totally out of their control?

      • Supaman on 14/04/2020 - 16:10
        +1

        Don't you feel funny? Most of their stock arrived damaged. Not just once. We are mad not cause of their damaged product. It's because their ridiculous slow response of customer service. We could have a refund on the 14 business day. But they ignore all E-mails. keep us waiting and waiting just to let us know the product had been damaged.

    Ordered a PC with the mag forge cases, but due to supply delays they countered with a commander g series case. There were 3 models of the case, I told them I would like either 2 of the 3 model as the other model looked horrible aesthetically for me, customer support said theyll put it through, but I received the one model that I didnt want. First I make the order in good faith that techfast had the components on stock, then they take 3 business weeks to contact me that they didn't have stock of the case when I should have probably received it. Then now this. If this model case was what I was receiving I would have requested a full refund on it or taken it up with the ACCC for the refund. I understand these are tough times, but I want what I paid for and I didn't get that. Now that they've built it/shipped it out, theres no way I'm getting this refund anymore :) Thanks techslow, never ordering from you guys again.

    • r3volt on 17/04/2020 - 17:57

      I've been looking to buy a new PC but all these comments make it clear that no price is worth dealing with this company. Why does it get so many upvotes?

      • arkie0 on 17/04/2020 - 20:41
        +1

        Starting in 2018 they were ridiculous value (maybe even loss leading to build rep), also their stated build time was 3 days but you would get it 2 weeks later. I think the people who bought then are still upvoting.

        I used to upvote, until I bought a system and realized the quality of the parts were crap (except CPU but you could argue 3500X is not that great). It's cheap not primarily due to value, its cheap because it has really really really cheap parts. For the average person they might not be able to tell. The unit also came damaged case and gfx card DOA, so luckily I got a full refund but wouldn't buy again.

        Their business model relies on cheap PC parts with 1 year warranty - PC will have a higher chance of a part failing post 1 year due to cheap parts.
        So you opt to upgrades to better parts, when you upgrade you don't get "refunded" for the part you are swapping out so you lose value to the point where you might as well build your own PC.

        These days, stated times are 2 weeks, but you will get the system in 1 month, or more. So really it's 11 months warranty from purchase date.

        • eltito on 25/04/2020 - 18:07

          Sorry to revive a week old thread, but do you have any recommendations as to where I should look at for building a PC? I know one option is doing it myself, but I get worried I might do something wrong and damage it.

          • arkie0 on 25/04/2020 - 20:45

            @eltito: Youtube videos on how to build pc's, not hard but can take a while if your new to it.

  • anarky on 18/04/2020 - 12:37

    Was sent an email on 9 April saying the system should be sent out mid to late last week, no updates yet on whether it has been shipped out, or whether to expect any further delays.

    If additional staff had been added, I am questioning how much slower they were responding to everything previously. Kind of regretting buying my PC now and probably shoud have built my own.

    The rep has even stopped responding on OzBargain now. I guess this will be a good example to post in future threads.

  • Caboose409 on 18/04/2020 - 20:24

    I ordered the Ryzen 5 3500X | RTX 2080 SUPER deal on 18 March.
    Apparently the AusPost label was created for it on 14 April, yet hasn't been dispatched by TechFast.
    Also apparently the B450 motherboards weren't in stock hence the delay… Why would TechFast not advertise the fact that certain components weren't in stock at the time I made the purchase? Pretty misleading and a breach of ACCC guidelines.
    At this stage I'm awaiting a response as to why my order still hasn't been dispatched a month after ordering.

    All I can say for future buyers, is to be aware that TechFast does not specify whether they even have stock of the item you are purchasing and therefore cannot possibly abide by their "15 business day" timeframe, which is completely arbitrary.

    • anarky on 19/04/2020 - 00:01

      exact same deal, I placed the order on the 12th of March, waited with no updates until 3rd of April where they placed an Auspost label and there's no further update since. No way to know if the item has been shipped or is in what stage.

      Still in the waiting for a reply game, takes 1-2 days for each reply that doesn't lead anywhere

    • Caboose409 on 24/04/2020 - 19:33

      So it finally arrived today. Only the PC was in the box, no cables. Luckily I had a spare PSU cable. Booted it up and checked out the specs. They've put in the wrong CPU.
      I had paid an extra $129 to upgrade from the Ryzen 5 3500x to the 3600, yet they've given me the 3500x.
      Also I'm pretty sure the RAM I got is 2666mhz even though again, I had paid extra to upgrade to the 3200mhz.
      Really disappointed by tech fast, considering the time it took to get the PC and then the parts for it are wrong after I had paid to upgrade.
      Really poor service. Would only recommend if you're on a budget and don't care about the parts you get in the case.

  • hiimfinly on 21/04/2020 - 09:59

    Can anyone give me an idea of how well the 2060 Super holds up vs. my 1080 and whether it would be a good time to upgrade or better to wait til next gen?

    • connico on 21/04/2020 - 14:52

      Wait next gen, the 1080 is still a better GPU then the 2060 mate… If you want to upgrade get a 2080. 2070 is pretty much a size-grade as well

      • hiimfinly on 21/04/2020 - 18:25

        I can't remember how long I've had the 1080 for but it feels like a fair while. Crazy that there aren't significant upgrades out there already but I guess I can keep the wallet closed for a while longer.

        Cheers for the advice.

  • anarky on 21/04/2020 - 12:47

    Purchased system on 20 March, finally got shipping information yesterday, was delivered overnight to Melbourne and received it this morning. Was shocked that it was able to be delivered overnight. No faults with the system itself. The Leaper Flair RGB isn't really a case so much as really thin metal that's shaped into a PC case. Would definitely recommend upgrading the case or rehousing it yourself to your old case. I got the https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/525058 and it is LOUD.

    Hey,
    I'm a complete noob about PC's. I've heard mixed reviews of Techfast PC's and watched a few videos. Seems like you get what you pay for and I'm not in a hurry to receive my PC. I just want a PC to play games such as COD, League and maybe stream a bit. Would you guys recommend any current deals or should I wait for new deals? Would appreciate anyone's opinion.

    Thanks!

    • Caboose409 on 24/04/2020 - 19:38

      Hi, yeah if you want a cheap PC and don't care about what's in the case and don't mind waiting 5+ weeks, they're fine.
      Be weary about paying for any upgrades as it seems that you won't get them if you pay for them, so only stick with the standard that they offer, otherwise you're paying extra for nothing.

    • milkymike on 25/04/2020 - 22:34

      I ordered a PC around 10/3/20 and have yet to receive it still (25/4/20). That is a almost 7 week wait time and no sign of it coming anytime soon. Poor communication from their end, as well as some questionable parts (such as the PSU). If you don't mind about any of that, go ahead, because it is the cheapest way to build a PC. I'd recommend upgrading the PSU though, other than that up to you, but you do lose value if you upgrade other components as well.

    • ShubsK on 26/04/2020 - 14:50

      Thanks for your feedback guys! I really appreciate it, would you recommend any current PC that are on sale that fit my purpose?

    HI all, i was hoping to get some advice on getting a desktop computer, im after a intel processor 9700k , do you do any deals with them and what would be the ryzen cpu closest to the 9700k in gaming and apps. Second Question is, should i really bother with intel and just go for a AMD ryzen , which one would i need to game on 4k as i have a 4k monitor, currently i have a 6700k oc to 4.9hz and a gtx 980ti , what would processor and gpu would be considered a huge upgrade for me , or should i just wait a bit longer for better tech and keep what i have , Thanks all

    • emoticon on 06/05/2020 - 12:19

      Go for AMD CPU, they are the new king of the hill in terms of price and performance.

      As for which specific CPU, choose the AMD 3600 or 3700 which ever suits your budget better.

      The 3500 included in Techfast’s base configuration is “okay” but it’s a China only part + all your support and warranty would have to come from Techfast, which is fine, so long as they remain in business and provide support; which from the other comments here their support seems very poor.

      As for GPU:

      • AMD 5700XT is the best value wise.

      OR

      • Nvidia 2070 Super

      If you are super rich:

      • Nvidia 2080 or 2080TI

      Any of those will be fine for 4K.

      For reference I’m using a 5/6 year old laptop CPU with the old Nvidia 1070 and still can play most games at 4K on max settings. All those parts above are better than what I have so should be fine.

      For games too demanding you could always turn the settings down or lower the resolution.

      I use a Intel Core i7-6820HK for reference.

      Note: You could go with the Nvidia 2060 super but the performance is not that much more than my 5/6 year old Nvidia 1070. Wouldn’t be much “future proofing”.

      SSD is a must and so is a minimum of 16GB ram, more is better.

      If you are able to I would just build my own PC instead of buying from Techfast, that way you know the parts you choose are quality.

    Very disappointed with Techfast, after waiting over month for my computer to arrive once it did there were issues straight away with the computer completely restarting with no errors or anything just straight restarting randomly. It has restarted randomly well over 10 times in about 4 days. I cannot get any work done or play any games as the computer is so unstable.

    On Thursday morning last week I emailed them on their support and sales email address as the phone number they recommend calling in the info they gave me with the computer was shut down.

    and complete radio silence from them no email or phone call from them, no acknowledgment of my issue, no checklist of things to test, nothing.

    When you spend about $1200 for new computer that straight away has big issues I'd expect a lot more customer service that what they have provided.

    Very unhappy and not sure if I should be contacting the ACCC.

    My emails are getting ignored now…

    I was sent an email saying stock of the GPU I ordered did not arrive and given the option to keep waiting or to upgrade. So I chose the upgrade path where I had to pay more money to avoid delay to the order. The emails where I had to pay more money were promptly actioned, however now that I have upgraded they stopped responding to my emails and my order is still delayed… It feels like a scam. I may as well have kept waiting for my original order with the original GPU.

    I sympathise with those having trouble.

    My experience was good - couple of minor issues over the process, each was resolved quickly and satisfactorily.

    Looking at my experience in isolation, I'd happily order from them again - though it appears I'm the exception.
