Insightful, kind and understanding. The team at 1stWave Technologies is amazing. It's really nice when a business goes that extra step to ensure their service and products are perfect BEFORE you receive them.
I always look here first for PC parts and services, and you should too.

I purchased SSD Samsung EVO with the price cheaper than the largest distributor in whole NZ and it was delivered on-time too.
Competitive price, reliable, fast, trustworthy.

Fast and perfect service which was all explained along with the price, before he went ahead. Can't recommend 1st Wave highly enough. It was the model of how a computer place should be! Very happy thank you.

UPDATE:
I ordered a Gigabyte motherboard of the same specs and all of the problems like crashing and freezing randomly have disappeared. It was indeed the motherboard after all... Poor form from 1st Wave.
I ordered a motherboard from this company late last year and instantly found that my PC build was having problems. After troubleshooting by myself I took it into the local computer technician for them to diagnose what was wrong with it. They told me that the motherboard was sending many errors and that I should claim the warranty on it from the retailer.
I got in contact with 1st wave soon

Great place to buy computer products, bought a GPU and a Motherboard from this place, shipping took around 3 days. Prices are also cheaper than most other computer sellers.
Found out GPU was faulty and sent it back for testing, they confirmed the GPU was indeed faulty and gave me a refund.
Great service 10/10. Would definitely buy from here again.

Have been using them for about 2 months now. I have not had any issues with purchasing products or customer support. They are always fast at answering emails and shipping out orders. I would recommend them to anyone looking to buy PC parts.

By far and away the best computer store I have used. Competitive prices, great friendly service.
I had a hardware issue with a newly bought PC; the fault was resolved quickly and professionally. Strongly recommended to anyone planning their next build.
