Reviews of PB Tech Hamilton
A.
We had online delivery which was excellent, tracking number immediately. Had a little trouble with the TV and subsequent communications, so took it back and it was checked over by the team in Hamilton. They're great, very hard working. I appreciate they could see us straight away with our return number.
L.
Best tech store. They may need hire more staffs because it is very hard to find a staff to give you ideas of the products. After that, please improve your display area more professional. the currently display is just poor and looks like a rural dairy shop.
S.
Lots of staff around but they tend to keep their distance unless cornered. The mail order service is pretty good - we've used it a lot while Taxinda has had us all incarcerated.
b.
Never use anyone else. Knowledgeable staff but hard to get a hold of, apart from that, great place.
Back time and again, this time an hdd and a new phone. They price matched the phone and were the usual outstanding.
Why would you go anywhere else?
F.
Under the new covid restriction and lack of staff atm, the store has set up a wait in line procedure until the next customer service person is available to help, you tell them what you want and they will get it for you, no browsing like we used to.. It's probably faster just to do online shopping these days now.
D.
This one my favorite shops has all the high tech goodies...I come here offen when I need soft wear or cables etc The PB tech app is very helpful to.
N.
Good deal on the new Samsung Ultra however the asian ladies are incredibly rude and obnoxious and the Maori "security" guard is over the top and follows you around asking several times if you would like help?? Isn't he meant to be at the door only? Not annoying customers??? Extremely offputting
G.
Seamless and reliable service provider for all technology needs, with remarkable consistency across the different stores. Look up your preferred technology item and set an alert for yourself for when there are promotions on that item, so that you can do a 'click and collect' for ready convenience.
W.
Has been my local pb tech for just over 2 years and I would absolutely recommend these guys, they are super helpful, knowledgeable and won't try to sell you something you don't need.
Z.
The staff are knowledgeable and helpful, and they have everything you could need for your computer set up here 👌
I had a bit of a mix up with a product recently, and they responded quickly and provided me with an excellent solution. Great company
J.
They are good, I've seen them dealing with all sorts of idiots/ difficult customers lol. Be nice lol✌️.
C.
I like there click and collect option here. Its easy to find a item on there web site, If you after RAM or SSD there click and collect is the best option.
C.
Not enough staff on the floor to cover the number of people needing assistance, service at till excellent but left without purchasing everything as unable to get help. Think it was more the time of year than their usual service style.
K.
The Wellington branch was more helpful in resolving my phone order issue, staff at the Hamilton branch failed to tell me my phone would take an extra 4 weeks because of the colour....
Anyway love my s21 ultra x
C.
Excellent range of computer equipment and related miscellaneous
Very happy with the new Desktop computer and printer.
Staff were not particularly friendly.
But found the after service tech guys very helpful.
C.
Super helpful staff and great service, really deserving of this review. And made my day.
D.
Generally good service, just processing your order to purchase is lengthyyyyyyy...takes up to 5-10minutes to pay for goods. Streamlining purchasing process, would make things A-class service all-round. Not a personnel problem, a technical issue 😷😀
T.
Products are great; prices a great. Just hope staff attitude to assisting customers improves.
P.
Dear Management
▪︎Exceptional assistance by
Kieron Hall with purchase of Skullcandy Bluetooth Wireless !! 🌻
Exceptional interfacing assistance days later
by Jim Monk !! 🎊
▪︎Exceptional assistance by Prepa with purchase of Promate Wireless In-Car FM Transmitter !!⚘
▪︎Exceptional interface asistance days later by Suzie 💕 and most grateful to Prabhy above and beyond !! 🪂
B.
Great service even if I walked in thinking I knew everything, to walk out realising I had made a mistake.
They really reassured me in store, listening to me while providing amazing customer service.
M.
The best tech shop in Hamilton huge range of products great web site a pleasure to shop there
e.
Helpful people. Lots of staff in the store. Only two for service queries and a long queue and wait time.
Z.
Generally a decent place to shop. Large range of electronic goods that you can't get elsewhere. The click and collect service is also incredibly efficient. Within 10 mins I could pick up an item I had requested which I thought was amazing. Pays to scope out there online sales as well for which there are many. One downside is that there are many empty shelves. It'd be nice to slap an out of stock label on items that are out of stock to give an indication of the status of product without having to track down a staff member. Other than that I'd highly recommend shopping here
R.
Staff help full reliable gear and great family Environment. If you need it done go to these guys. Enough parking out front
Really informative and safe gear
A.
Huge store, so much stuff to check out. Lots of staff around to assist with enquiries. Had only ever bought from them online so it was nice to check out inside the store!
z.
They have almost anything you need for tech needs, they can do better with better customer service
J.
Excellent customer service! Very helpful and charge my items while I shopped around! Easy refund process also!
A.
I have shopped here many times and its always been a good experience. The staff is freindly and helpful.
U.
Searching on cost for Chromebook and tablet's for granddaughter. Very good in pricing, will visit it again
T.
No stock of item I wanted had to get longer cable, product enquiry regarding Microsoft tablet and Samsung tablet I found the staff listened to what I was looking for and job required for. Thanks
L.
Good service nice people generally has everything I need.
H.
Very busy in store. No assistance from staff dispute asking for help. A very helpful Maori security guard offered help with my oversized package.
A.
Heaps of parks made available. Workers willing to help and engage well with useful information. Disable friendly parks, might need assistance using a wheelchair over their wires in store (they are contained under plastic so it's not a hazard. It's just a little road bump so to speak.)
V.
Needed a power pack repaired.
Prompt service and knowledgeable staff
K.
Needs more staff at the front counter, when I visited it was quiet busy and only 1 person o. The counter I needed help with my product lucky it wasn't heavy so I carried it to the car.
The staff were nice but no one offered to help with my product to be carried to the car.
You need some more training
G.
I ordered a high end HP Z series laptop on the website. PB Tech had a great selection of these high end models. Delivery was overnight.
I had a small "user" problem and went into the Hamilton branch to query the SD card slot. They were really helpful and solved my query.
M.
I had a really positive experience at PB TECH Hamilton! I ordered a laptop off the PB tech website which unfortunately was not functioning properly. The staff at the Hamilton store quickly organised a store credit for me (a refund was also possible) and gave very helpful advice on what model laptop to buy as a replacement. All very professional and kept me updated with getting data off my device.
J.
I do like their service and range. If you are lazy like me, but wish to get a good product with no ridiculous markups like Noel or Harvey etc have... and a service center to boot... go to pbtech! The owner is a hardworking and good man and i remember when pbtech started years ago in that one tiny room in the middle Hamilton... !!
v.
Always the best place for tech sometimes it gets very busy so have to wait for service
K.
Very helpful, excellent service, good range of products.
G.
Always enjoy PB tech . Great range ,great people an excellent customer service skills
T.
If you want tech stuff this is the place to go. If they don't have it you probably can't get it.
s.
Great Computer Superstore Only thing I dont like is Credit card surcharge really?? Anyother store like Noelleeming JBHIFI they dont charge but them like diary stores surcharge for credit card.
M.
Good store to purchase pc components etc just let down by the staff who have poor communication skills.
With the exception of David one of the pc trouble shooters is excellent helped me through a tough spot with a faulty graphics card supplied by PB tech.
8.
A must go place if you are looking for computer parts, peripherals, smart home stuff, electronics, cameras, and more! Majority of my stuff came from pbtech with special deals. Only downside is if the store is very busy they seem to be short staff most of the time. Overall highly recommmend
A.
Came in last week and Purchased a new CPU, Motherboard, Case, AIO, and Powerplay. Can’t remember the guys name but he was a great help, always come to Hamilton PB tech, but really is a challenge to get a staff members attention, is a bit awkward when you need a hand with something and there’s 3 staff sitting down chatting, other than that great store!
A.
The staff have varying degrees of knowledge if you are relying on yhem
Have to order it foe home delivery. Date unknown
J.
After getting a new phone i foolishly ordered a punkcase to house it. It never arrived and i couldn't get any sense from them so i wanted to deal with a company i knew existed and wasn't a scam. Ordered the case thursday night. Emails kept me up to date, it arrived saturday in stage 4 covid lockdown fantastic service. Will never deal with anyone else again.
B.
For most of your tech needs, wide range of technology products you can ever have. Very convenient location only parking is not that many.
k.
I started buying computers and components from these guys way back in the 90s when they were a small shop on Victora St. Have used their click and collect service recently and can't fault it. Athough I was a bit quick going to the store after I got the text from them, they hadn't brought my item to the collection area yet, still, it didn't take long for staff to get it from the back. Great range of products, great prices, great staff, what more could you want?
P.
Friendly bunch here. Know their trade. Pricing is always good and the specials worth following. Staff are easy to talk to and understand and you don't get rushed like other branches. Not my closest branch but definitely my favorite.
S.
Good service need to get ride of the filing in lines
D.
Go to place for tech items. But typically purchase online and collect in store. Much easier if you already know what you want. Staff always seem too busy or preoccupied to help you out. Would recommend being sure of what you want before heading in store. Have a personal issue with the credit card surcharge, seems unreasonable.
D.
Really amazing friendly service. Can't fault how helpful the people I spoke to were. Which is great, because the store layout can be a little difficult to navigate so you often need the help.
A.
Fantastic customer service, thank you so much for your wonderful help
P.
Excellent customer services and Large store with lots of variety of electronic stuff
M.
Very friendly, fast service, got everything we wanted .
K.
If it's tech support or just chargers , phones or computers including surveillance equipment they've got it or can get it for you.
J.
I'm not techy but it's supposed to be the last word in technology supplies. Found what I needed
f.
I would like to give a thumb up for ROY WANG who’s really helpful with my online order while lockdown. He’s so patient with my questions as I need a usb extension very urgent. He is soooooo friendly and professional. With his assistance, I got the usb extension on time! Big thanks Roy!
I.
Once you found a staff member - you are in good hands. Looking for one can be a bit of challenge if you walk slowly. But if someone promised to come back to you once free - they will do that for sure. Reasonable prices, good range of products, staff knows what they are talking about.
A.
Always helpful, great range of items and good prices. Just hard to find help sometimes cos the team always seem so busy
M.
Very happy with my purchase
R.
Good place for buying electronics. Took one star off for lack of customer service. I was waiting to find help but no one to help me. The need to employ more staff. Otherwise all good.
L.
Super helpful staff, who will give you all the information you need if you need help buying anything. The Hamilton store usually has plenty of stock of great tech products. Not only do they have just the usual things. You can grab a custom pc and they do repairs on your tech! Awesome place and the best staff!
B.
Always an interesting store to visit. Unfortunately couldn't get what I was after out of stock legacy of COVID 19 shipping problems. This is not a common problem.
J.
What a shambles, alarms going off, cashiers don't give a care to the world at the line building up. 2 people been at counter for 10 min.... All u wanted was thermal paste.. Even then customer service was brushed off.
o.
when i visit pbtech, i always talk to alex sales person who is really helpful and try to find best price for me. thanks
S.
The store was super busy due to Boxing day but the staff till found time for everyone and explained very calmly. Really appreciate the staff for their efforts. Felt so happy with my purchase and they had really good offers.
C.
Good store. Helpful staff
M.
Fantastic product selection, prices are OK. As for in-store service on a Suturday they do the best they can, but I've had 10 times better. Really wasn't impressed when after waiting in line for 15 minutes, having reached the front of the queue, the clerk said he'd walk the customer he was dealing with to the counter, that was ok, but he was sidetracked by a customer on the way back and the clerk didn't have the gumption to politely say he should wait in line, that's very poor service.
T.
Items I needed in stock. Quick sales process.
C.
Good range of products at a reasonable price. The lvl 3 zero contact procedure for pickup was super easy and clear
G.
************Solved the case! Gave me a better deal**********
Ordered a TV via online during the queens birthday sale. After 2 days, i received an email saying that the unit is not available as sold out. I got a refund but it took a week. Meanwhile, I missed the queens birthday sale and an offer from Harvey Norman. When complained, web-sale team came up with an "offer"! But their offer price were same as other dealers normal prices. Never ever going back to PB tech.
Response from the owner9 hours ago
Hi Githesh,
Really sorry to hear about the poor service you received while ordering online. Please email us at [email protected] with your order number and any other details and we can try sort this out for you.
Thanks,
PB Tech

Reply from me:
Hi,
I am Githesh, i have ordered a TV on queens birthday sale order number WO3308177.
Unfortunately, PBtech has cancelled my order due to unavailability. I wasnt able to buy TV from any appliances sellers during the queens birthday sale as it took 2 days to email me to let me know the order was cancelled. Also, as it take another 2 to 3 days to get my koney back. So i completely missed out the queens birthday sale. Again, the websale team came up with an offer which wasnt fair enough. I would have baught it from somewhere else during the sale period!
I have put a one star review for pb tech. I got a reply to email the concerns. Hence, i am emailing. I hope i will get a positive response! I will attach this email to the review and any replies from you. I will definitely change it to 5 star if i get a positive response .
Thanks
Solved the case! Gave me a better deal
D.
Often pretty busy in my experience. The staff do really well to attend to everyone though and I've always managed to find what I'm after.
S.
Always great service and the best prices you'll find in Hamilton for computer and tech hardware.
Hossam is always smiling and friendly on checkouts and remembers me every time I go in. A 10/10 staff member for sure!
L.
Great stuff in here but the general service leaves a bit to be desired. not really a sales type place, more a pick and go type place so it pays to know what you are looking for. The staff appear genuinely put out when you ask for assistance. The service department appears solid.
I.
Service was ok and they found the product I needed. Bit of a wait in the line to pay for it. Could have done with 1 more checkout person however shows why people shop online more
K.
Wasn't impressed phoned to check they had an ink cartridge for our printer was told only 1 left asked for it to be held as we were across the street and we would be 8 mins max, got there and a massive line to checkout, got to checkout and no one could find it or knew anything about it. So wasn't happy.
E.
Always busy and always difficult to get attention when you need it.
P.
Easy to find what we were looking for, having browsed online. Large store, with tech assistance and checkout staff. Plenty of off street parking.
D.
A great store and the staff are always available to give expert opinion on what may suit you best. Happily my go to place for all tech from tablets, phones, to full on gaming pc
T.
Great products, slow staff, long queue few unhappy customers Felt sorry for one lone assistant on till. She was lovely, but copped a bit of flack from queue.
J.
PB Tech is great for all of your computer parts and needs but the customer service is really not great. It is extremely hard to find someone to help. When you do they seem uninterested and when it comes to asking any questions you get the feeling that should know better and more about the parts which does not make for a nice shopping experience.
J.
Great products and service but they are well understaffed all the times i have been there. I would recommend you know what your after before entering or wait service.
R.
Always willing to help, great tech guys. Built my computer there 4 years later needed new motherboard and CPU. Had an inspection day later I got a txt for the fix job accepted it and then next day it was done. I even called at 5:30pm (closing time) to ask if I could pick it up as I had just finished work and was really close and they let me 👍🏽
B.
I ordered a laptop online today, from PB tech to Click and collect, at Hamilton. I was happy to receive a text that my laptop was ready 1ish hours after I had paid. When I arrived I followed the instructions and replied to the text telling them I had arrived. I didn’t get a reply or acknowledgment. It would be great to have a reply “Thanks for shopping with us, your # in the queue”. A couple of cars were waiting and went in before me, but also people arrived after me and just walked up to the desk. Some of these people appeared to have issues and took a while. I waited 20-30m in the carpark with only 2-3 other cars. I even thought about walking up to the desk myself as it started to get close to closing time. I then received a text that my order was ready and walked straight to the counter. There was only one person working on the counter. He was very friendly great customer service and the whole thing took less than a minute and I was on my way. It did increase my frustration at people who arrived and walked straight up. There were signs out explaining the process but they were in small writing and next to the desk, so people just walked up to read them and then would talk to the guy working the desk.
G.
Really large store with a massive range. Came in for a laptop, I was quickly approached by a very well mannered lady who took me through some options. Settled on one and its been a pleasure to use. Cheers team
G.
They were busy for a while, but when free their service was fantastic. They have a wide range of products in the industry to choose from and helpful technical advice.
C.
Staff are SUPER friendly and helpful. Wide range of quality tech products and very well priced. If technology is your need, PB Tech is where you should go.
R.
Okay but seems to be run by Asians
If you want something take a picture of it with.
D.
My favourite store so a bit biased. The staff are generally very helpful here, and if they don't know they try to ask a team member who does. Great range and great pricing. As a bonus, Hossam is one of the best FOH staff of any company! Great dude, very helpful every time I'm in there.
Z.
This is the first place I go for techie stuff. Been going there for must be nearly ten years now. No problems in all that time, and I've bought at least 4 desktops 6 tablets 4 phones and many many parts. Very helpful staff. Bought my wife a new phone just before Christmas - the salesman said 'Wait here' and a minute later turned up with a free wireless bluetooth speaker worth $70 that was part of the deal but I didn't know about. Great service from their salesmen and very helpful service staff.
s.
Great service,helpful staff with good information.bit slo when paying at counter,as service person talks to much,floor staff should take care of chit-chat,staff at counter,should not be chit-chatting.I waited behind 6 people while counter guy was talking to paying customer about,his friend.and the staff member could see that we were waiting,for service.unexceptable.products are overpriced,but parking plenty,and close to front doors.floor staff abit slow spend 2much time,trying to solve problems,so not very fast and efficient service,across the board.but,knowledge,of product,great.I make these comment's not to criticize,but for feedback,your staff are great people,its the waiting time,in service,that I am referring to.your products are great,you have a great variety,and as a customer I appreciate that.and price I just have2 acept,whether,abit high or not,if I dont like the price,then I can go shop somewhere else.if I said everything nice about your business, and mentioned nothing about where you could improve,then I would be telling you a whole lot of lies.im not 1 of those say something nice people to get excepted,by others.sorry thats not me.I wish your business every success,and growth.thats why your number1,in tech.I wish you to stay number1.so I won't lie to you,so I can fit in.all the best.
C.
PB Tech gives much cheaper and faster repairs for devices than any other store out there and is definitely one to keep written down if your or someone else's device has an issue.
A.
Excellent range of products. Like walking into a Willy Wonka's factory. Only issue is finding a free staff member. A large number of products are locked in cabinets and you will often find yourself waiting awhile for someone to open them. Otherwise, everyone is friendly and helpful.
D.
Got to be the best computer parts store in New Zealand. The new store in Te Rapa Hamilton allows much more room and freedom to shop. These guys have some super competitive prices that rival online overseas prices. Get components, builds and advice. Fix it. These staff know the answers to your questions.
M.
Fantastic, easily my favourite store in Hamilton. The repair and service department is exceptional, their extensive knowledge and highly competent assistance with any and all matters is invaluable.
The store is always exciting to visit and loving the new larger layout. Please pass along my families thanks to the service department for all their help.
J.
These guys are just fantastic,they were able to give me a really good deal.
J.
Came in expecting to have to ship a laptop off to get fixed, they diagnosed there and then for free and told me to buy a new charger, worked a charm.
Y.
I love the variety of product but it is very hard to find someone to help you on the shop floor. It seems to be assumed that you will know exactly what you want.
D.
My Second Home pretty much.. Lost some of the best staff but overall still have staff who know the tech
L.
Pb Tech Te Rapa is probably the best place to shop for anything tech related. They have some of the best and most helpful employees that will sit down with you and talk through what you're looking for. Would go back again and again for anything I need.
A.
David was AWESOME! Got home the friday before a long weekend and my computer wasnt working, David was able to get me in that afternoon and had it sorted in less than an hour! SOOO Grateful!
T.
I visited PB Tech Hamilton today. I received excellent advice and help from Taran in the service department. He fixed my problem quickly and effectively. He advised me on my upcoming purchase as well. Excellent customer service and support. Will definitely be going back in the near future.
J.
Super helpful staff that really know their stuff. Wide range of products, and great prices across the board.
I've never had a bad experience with PB Tech, and I shop there frequently (both in store and online). Returns are never an issue, and they're pretty good about bringing in stock for pickup too.
s.
Wss told they would have what I required but NO
T.
Great store, plenty of stock and helpful team members. Although checking out can be a pain as its slow
l.
Not enough sales staff for the number of customers. Customer service is basic but sufficient for the tech warehouse store. Plenty of parking
W.
It's a great store, huge offering but quite hard to find what you need. When I spoke to someone at the counter they were friendly and whilst they couldn't answer my question they didn't try to fake it,ehich I appreciate. No one approached me in the store to check if I needed help.
V.
Pity they don't have enough staff to help with purchases. They obviously have a big monopoly so don't care that customers just about have to do head stands to attract attention.
M.
Great deals there
o.
not as good as it used to be there is no one i can find to ask questions or help me find what i need. But we still come here because they have high quality things.
M.
Fantastic store.
Was a little hard tracking someone down to get items from locked shelving. All quite busy.
Would be 5 stars if I didn't have to wait around for someone.
A.
For such a large store and on a busy day it does seem under staffed. Any how they still have great customer service,
F.
best place to get you it needs sorted always helpful but cant use signature only credit cards
J.
Awesome selection and great pricing. My one gripe is that they are severely understaffed.
M.
Huge selection and competitive pricing
T.
Grabbed a bargain on s21 case and covers, cheers
A.
Five minutes to find the thing I wanted, and get my details transferred from another branch, then paid.
Wonderful that I even got through the sale before the manager had time to go on his first smoko of the day.
T.
Lots of electronics and electrical collections at affordable prices. Plenty of space for car parking. But you may expect a dialogue from staff "I am busy, please approach any other staff".However, overall it is OK.
J.
Great service, especially Grayson the mobile phone specialist he was professional and jumped at the opportunity to help! Can't wait to shop here again!
J.
Customer service is on point. I got a Philips headphone on black Friday sale, used it for less than 8 months, had some issue with the left speaker. Took it back, got it replaced with a new one within 3 days. Had the same issue after three months, took it back, this time got a full refund. How cool is that?! Basically got to use a headphone for free for almost a year. So make sure you keep the receipts safe and an eye on the warranty period.
N.
Great store, good range but cant find help or advice because theres not alot of staff on the floor. Have to spend a good 10 to 15 minutes to find help if your lucky
P.
A really good tech store! Most entertainment electronics you need will be there!
K.
Very well-trained staff: pleasant, knowledgeable, and not out for a quick buck.
Ryan today suggested a quick check on my settings, before I buy a new iPad. It worked. Thanks Ryan.
That gave me more confidence to buy a new laptop instead!! LOL.
I'm delighted with both!!
I'll be back.
L.
Great customer service and friendly security guard.
C.
Great service and Ryan was a great help!
朱.
Y the one you can use the space and a great week or the employee of this communication and destroy the message and it's attachments without the prior written in a couple more than one is there anything to reply and it has a couple years and the following is not in this thread on this site for your kind consideration the same as last week to week I can see if you are interested please see below are my details for taking so that you can do you need any more information on a great weekend but if I am going on a daily driver for me and my family are well for
A.
Many times I go to check out some products that I'm considering buying, but they don't have them on display. "That's too expensive to have on display", the young lady replied when I asked about Pixel 2.
Well, it's more expensive the sales opportunities you're losing because of this poor retail practice.
The shop is a bit too overwhelming and needs better lighting for a more convenient shopping experience. Merchandising expertise is seriously needed.
M.
Great place to buy electronics
B.
Good variety of tech at reasonable prices, however, slow service on the day that I was there, due to only one person being on the till, with at least 8 people waiting to be served 🙃
6.
Great store for the computer illiterate or the professional gamer it caters to both quite well if you don't know anything about a specific product what it does etc this stuff there are quite well informed about a product and if the staff member that you asked doesn't know normally they know of another staff member that does know about the product very friendly staff and I have spent quite a number of thousands of dollars at their store and I am happy to go back time and time again sometimes it can get a little bit crowded hence the four stars but to be fair the reason why it gets so crowded is because it's such a good store and a lot of people go to it if you want anything computer related I suggest you go to the store as it is the best door in Hamilton to get anything computer related

Bought a laptop that suited MY needs, at a price that suited my pocket. I'm a bit of a dummy you see ! 70+ yo
It rings alarms when I go to a store with items not clearly priced (H-N) individually.... "Well I could do that for $xxx for you...) Not so at PBTech. Prices clearly displayed, easy to understand features on ticket. Friendly advice given. Easy purchase thanks.
N.
One stop shop for most electronics (Phone, Laptops, TV's etc) and accessories. Good friendly and helpful staff. Though there is usually a wait as staff seem to be busy majority of the time.
P.
Great service, and honest advice - without trying to sell anything more than needed. Highly recommended.
T.
Light airy feel. Not cramped and claustrophobic. Took a while to find what I wanted, not many staff to ask. I guess that means browsing, and making impulse buys! But it is a new store and there will be teething issues.
R.
Great service. I just wish that there was someone available to the less tech savvy who could demonstrate how to do something. Downloading an app and trying to get my new wireless printer to connect is like flying to Mars.

In terms of selection, PB Tech would have to be one of the largest tech retailers in the Waikato in terms of inventory. While staff can often be busy with other customers, wait time is generally not too long, and they are willing to answer any questions you may have, and/or help you with a new PC build or PC repair.
If you have an account with PB, they will automatically send you an invoice after your purchase, putting the account history in your hands too, as well as making business-related purchases hassle-free.
S.
Awesome selection of products and great prices, but not enough staff at checkouts so there was a bit of a line.
S.
This is my main place to go for anything computer related. Always great service and a good team. Very busy most of the time though (as clearly a lot of people also go there as their main one stop shop).
R.
Recently purchased a new workstation, Alex was very helpful and knowledgeable. I might have issue either with the port or the cable but that can be sorted. Overall experience was great.
J.
Always my first stop for gadgets and hardware. Really conscious of keeping everyone safe which is great to see and worth a tiny bit of inconvenience
R.
Good service and the sales person pointed me to the better phone for my circumstances. Pity they didn't have many strong cases to choose from
A.
Looking for a new computer. The salesman provided fantastic service. Explained everything clearly, didnt rush us or try to sell us something we didnt want or need. I recommend them highly.
N.
Good pricing and great staff
N.
We've built computers, bought screens, phones and more from PB tech and they are ALWAYS helpful! Really good on price too.
C.
Corin Cairns, super helpful. Put the extra effort in for us and the other customers I saw him deal with.
J.
Good people but in my opinion they Need more staff during the busy weekend
D.
Pb tech Hamilton generally offers good service with reasonable after sales service over the years I have been using them
Updated review from 4 to 5 stars as they just went above and beyond on a warranty issue.
E.
Ordered a Samsung J7 Pro online to which they sold out and notified me asking if I want to change or refund. They then got new stock at my local store so cancelled my online order refunded me and put one aside at my local store. Very prompt service and happy to look for solutions couldn't ask for more - Bahareh from the online team was very helpful.
C.
Patrick is justifiably a wizard, took on our tech as a pet project and upgraded an unupgradeable machine. Customer sevice here is always top notch, friendly and helpful.
H.
Big store, good for electronics
D.
This is a bad place to visit if you love technology and have a spending problem. Staff are friendly and are knowledgeable. There are so many bargains to be found you could easily go in for printer ink and walk out with a new printer and computer at a great price.
C.
Great staff, good knowledge of product. Great prices. Can't beat them. I wish I could give 6 stars so 5 will have to do
C.
The man wearing mufti with black curly coils was super helpful , kind and handsome .Thank you so much. Give him a payrise :-)
P.
Big and barn like. A lack of signage means you need to walk down all the aisles to find what you want. Long queues when I was there, and not many staff on the floor.
K.
Good service and product range
S.
Good place for techbology... pitty staff did not make an appearance or offered to help. Multiple brands of the same product but no help selecting what i needed .. a rating system would be great.. hope i got the right device... if not i hope returns are accepted
D.
Usually have most items in stock, prices are generally good.
N.
Helpful Dedicated and Enthusiastic Staff Well Done!!!
I purchased components to make my first computer 2 days ago. Things did not go well and the computer failed to start. (A faulty RAM stick we discovered later)
Being my first build, I was a bit anxious going into the shop ans asking for help.
Jaak, Ollie and Daniel were exceedingly helpful. They did not let me leave the shop without testing every component until the fault was identified.
It is obvious that the shop staff are technology enthusiasts themselves.
Thank you for your kindness today.
I'll be back.
Z.
Always a great place to visit for all your IT needs, very helpful and knowledgeable staff
D.
A large range of tech not just computer stuff at reasonable prices. Staff knowledgeable and helpful. The new store on The Rapa road is bigger and brighter with adequate parking.
M.
Not much stock at this store, your better off ordering online, plenty of staff in-store, but not around when you need them too help you.
L.
Not realizing there was a a PB Tech in Hamilton, I ordered a TV from Auckland.
Thankfully, I found our Hamilton Branch where Jark was exceptionally helpful in
accepting the returned telly, arranging a credit and selling me a more suitable TV.
My sincere thank you to Jark and Hoss for your courteous, professional service.😊
P.
Great staff helps us out heaps
B.
I like this place. I could spend a fortune. Good variety of new pcs and refurbs. All sorts of cables and components for those that build their own rigs. Seems like a lot of staff and is always busy. Just enough parking as it looks full but there is roadside as well.
K.
Went here form Putaruru, and staff really helpful and friendly. Knowledgeable about the products, helpful and some of the 3vst service I've had at a PB TECH store!
Thanks team!!
R.
My favourite PB tech, I have spent many hours here. It's large, open and easy to find what your looking for. The service is helpful and friendly. Would happily spend many more hours here.
D.
Had trouble with graphics cards, had to return two in a week, but they sorted it out no fuss and third card is working great!
G.
Excellent staff help. Really knew their stuff. Didn't have everything we needed for a technical project but considering they are not commercial telecoms they helped us out heaps.
V.
Very friendly and well informed staff. Made product returns easy and allowed a try before you buy making the purchase experience fantastic. Highly recommended them.
R.
The best range of tech anywhere and great prices
J.
Staff unknowledgble ,looking for commision,wouldn't send Nana in by her self. Lots of product on the shelfs and big selection and we'll presented but defently not looking to save you dollars ,the items may be a good price but the staff won't put you necessarily in the right direction
S.
Cheap prices and great selection of products, can be hard at times to find a staff member. The new store is larger and more parking (which it shares with other stores). Turning in if coming from the CBD can be tricky at times. The service desk seems to be quite busy most of the time so do have to wait for a while to be severed.
S.
I needed a new mobile USB Type C hub. They had one which was ideal. Purchased for reasonable price. The staff were knowledgeable and helpful.
G.
The PC Mega Store, mostly good prices but lately I've noticed not so flash prices on big ticket items I've had to buy elsewhere at much better prices!
Nice new store though!
G.
These guys are geeks and really are interested in the stuff they sell. (no offence intended).
They may not be the fastest at times but you will always get a good price and they will help you get the right gear to meet your needs.
D.
It has gotten way more expensive than it was, but still a good service with helpful employees and great stock
N.
Extremely good customer service even though really busy. They dont treat ignorant questions as that. All questions are answered seriously. May have been better to have more staff on, but that's just my opinion. 🙂🙂🙂🙂
N.
AMAZING! went into the store to ask for a product to be brought in as they didn't have it in-stock. The product was in the very next day. Wonderful customer service & I love the product! Thanks team : )
M.
Consistent prices and great customer service once you get hold of them as can be difficult to get help sometimes
S.
Products are good, haven't compared prices so not sure about that but they don't have much staff who can help to find products I was looking for. I have this experience twice.
D.
2nd PB tech shop that I've visited. I was convinced to get a for quotes for 2 pc builds. Nobody got back to me so, purchased elsewhere. 2nd time here I asked for a pc and told my story about the first time. I was again convinced a build was cheaper and better. Guess what happened - yup. Nobody got back to me and purchased elsewhere again.
Some of us don't know what specs are. If you can tell me what I want, I'm sold. Why not take my money? Total spent elsewhere = Mac was $3,500. Pc' an monitors, etc and software was $8,300.
I waited two weeks before going elsewhere for both purchases because you knew exactly what I needed and I don't. I just needed my machines to do the job.
V.
Big store with lot of options. You have to research everything before popping into the store. Will be nice if staffs are helping voluntarily instead of trying to seek out who is available.
N.
Great range of products but a massive line for the check out and the place smelt so bad, like a teenage boys room that has been closed up for a week - needs some fresh air.
G.
Great place to get all my pc parts and other tech items! Great customer service as wel!
G.
Really busy, didn't have any Instax mini cameras though (this is why I went there). Good deals at the moment.
J.
PB Tech is the best place in my opinion when looking for or buying technology. Their sales are massive and they have excellent customer service. I personally bought a laptop from them which would have costed about twice as much at most competing electronics stores.
T.
Mitchell was able to help me get the right equipment for the task from general discussion on how I wanted my setup to work
S.
Well informed staff, they know alot about electronics. They are very helpful and provide great service.
R.
Always good service.
T.
Went to PB Tech Te Rapa today and was lucky to speak with Patrick from the service team. He was great to talk to and was very patient with me as a non-tech person. Thanks Patrick!
J.
Convenience store for Technology Biggest in Hamilton.
C.
Helpful and knowlegable staff. I like not having annoying music in the background so I can concentrate. Competitive prices. Definitely will come here first for all my tech needs.
D.
Had tablet cover that we wanted but price was dearer than website showed. They let us have it for the web price.
A.
Been buying all sorts of tech things from there for years. Pretty good prices and the staff know their stuff. Prices are usually some of the lowest too.
D.
Computer parts at good prices. Can be a bit hard to find things though, and staff are hard to spot as they don't wear uniforms. But once you find a staff member they are very helpful.
T.
Awesome store but sooooooo easy to spend money here. Helpful knowledgeable staff
B.
Very helpful staff. The item i wanted wasnt in stock, but still very satisfied with my experience
j.
The best place ever. Customer service could be alot better though
J.
Excellent customer service. Large store with lots is selection. Competitive pricing.
c.
Friendly people. picked up a monitor. excellent salespeople who can direct information to 'tech savvys' or the general public. Wish they carried more stock at any moment though, they only really stock up on sales.
h.
Hard to find help but range is good. Just walk around u till you find what you need.
R.
Great service. Great prices. Even when some confusion happened over the delivery of my tv a staff member hand delivered it himself. Cant ask for better than that.
B.
Great new store with fantastic access and parking. Plenty of space inside. Well done. The old place put me off and i visited only when i had to.
A.
Went in for a new laptop, staff were really friendly, helpful and patient and also gave me a few recommendations based on what I needed. Prices were also reasonable 👍🏻
F.
Best price and selection around. Some staff could do with training in customer services as they are Tech trained. The staff member I delt with on this occasion however was brilliant in both aspects.
D.
Bad place to visit if you only want to walk out with one item.... I went in to get a new 1000x500 mouse pad, Walked out with a 1000x500 mouse pad, New Razer blackwidow chroma V2 and a Razer DeathAdder Elite..... God damn it PB Tech you and your pricing... But besides all that, Staff are great, Everything is straight forward and fast. In get what you need pay and out.
p.
Deals deals, best shop to buy gadgets with fair price 👍 Check for deals in shop or online 🙌
J.
Definitely a place for Nerds though to non-tech savys. The staff are all really friendly and all know about tech in there difference felds. Prices are fair allso and the range of products is very good.
B.
Had to get a laptop fixed. Although it was financially not worth fixing it, as recommended by PB Tech, it had to be done. They simply did the union and did not hassle me about a less sound economic decision.
O.
I like the place for its variety of goods at pretty good prices.
Handy location , ample parking ,
Staff are usually helpful tho you may have to signal pretty clearly to catch their attention
W.
The service reps there are awesome, Brian and Carl are great to have a chat to about any computer needs. Weather it he simple or complex or just gossip about the latest games...
B.
Very helpful service even though we didn't buy anything
B.
Love PBTech, they are by far the best overall computer and technology outlet in NZ. They've come a long way from the one or two local stores and now offer some of the most competitive pricing around. Their superstore in Hamilton is a computer nerds dream, tons of stock and heaps on display.
S.
Best place in Hamilton to get PC parts.
Great for when you want to pick something up on the same day.
The prices are competitive with online stores but not the lowest.
j.
Awesome as usual. Only downside to being a popular computer store is sometimes you have to wait a bit to get service as they r so busy.
A.
Friendly and experienced staff, affordable prices
J.
When you are not 100% sure when shopping online, it is nice to come here and observe and touch any item by yourself. There is always someone to help or ask for advice. If you after something particular make sure online it is available in store, so can check it out.
J.
Brought our TV from here! Great range of products! And helpful staff. Probably need more as they can be hard to find
R.
Today I went to get a quotation on a new PC with components of my choosing, service was reasonable although the sales consultant I normally see wasn't there.. but otherwise it was good
W.
Great shop if your a Tech freak. Have plenty of Laptops and drones to look at.
R.
Always busy but there is always someone ready to help you out. Knowledgable staff. Good prices. Good range.
M.
The staff was really quick to respond when I seemed lost and they were able to answer all of my questions efficiently and respectfully.
W.
I shop frequently at BPtech, the staff are good, and they have a large range of stock.
G.
Great store however i could not find what i wanted nor could i get any assistsnce not many people in store either left without what i came for even though im sure they had it if i knew where to look
O.
Went to buy a PC for a client and was blown away by the excellent service and product knowledge. They certainly know their stuff, and for a few dollars extra they added an SSD which makes the PC really rock.
P.
Great product range and pretty good prices, but the service sucks hard. Don't go there if you're in a hurry
F.
Excellent! Walked in was helped by a staff member very promptly, excellent store layout, quality products and plenty of staff to help.
T.
Awesome store Great selection of products Easy parking Staff are so helpful and skilled in their knowledge I love this place Everything techi they're my choice 👍
G.
Friendly, knowledgeable staff. Good prices. Can get a bit too busy at times.
G.
Sales staff were great, and support staff were fantastic!
M.
A bit out of stock but I think international influences of covid led to that and also staff are always hard to find or busy to unlock the cabinets or ask advice
D.
Very helpful staff first thing but within minutes store was chocka and staff very busy...
M.
Buy a One Plus phone here, in my opinion these phones are the best American make, far more customizable and much more secure that Ios Apple that's in the gutter and Deep State Google Nexus.
S.
Have been going to the same owner off PB Tech Hamilton since he first opened. We have build a wonderful relationship with few of the staff that always go out of their way to look after us. This is the only place we go go all our Tech stuff.😆
M.
Prices are good but some staff arent very helpful.
G.
Good range and good prices sometimes hard to get served
K.
Great place. Service very good with a great range of products. A small que at checkout. What an awsome store, will be going back.
P.
Really appreciate the service being provided by the sales executive ,i bought laptop n carry bag..i just forget to ask his name but he was tall n smile on hus face..Thanks a lot ....
T.
Great deals but service can be better
c.
I get most of our tech here. Great prices.
B.
When you need parts for your computer or just need to get it looked at you need to get in here and see the very helpful team.
Not just computers phones, console and more
N.
Always have what I want, fast delivery, great customer service, these people know there stuff and run their store right!
G.
Big range but you have to grab a staff member if you want assistance. Prices are fairly reasonable.
M.
Like the selection and pricing is good, they try but help can be a bit hard to get as they get busy
s.
One stop shop for all your tech needs with latest equipment , the staff is very well trained and they know pin to an elephant of there store items and can locate within minutes the right thing for you ... prices are very good as compared to market , free parking available , and often they give discounts as well plus peace of mind as they give warranty mostly for one year.
T.
Bit short in some stock items at the moment. Understandable. All good otherwise as usual.
S.
Vast array of electronic hardware and consumerables, like print cartridges. Not just computers. Well organised and staffed. Useful website.
I.
Great store for IT gadgets and hobbyists needs. Sometimes can be hard to attract the attention of sales staff, but they are very helpful when you can get to them :-)
b.
Quick and informative customer service but can sometimes be difficult to find certain things in their store. Good thing their employees know where it all is.
A.
Great selection of PC components and other electronic stuff. My only complaint is that when they are busy, you may wait a while before a staff member is available to help you.
K.
Big store, plenty of staff to assist, great they carry wider range of smart phone choices.
S.
My favourite shop. Service can be variable but great products at great prices
G.
Good range and good prices.
I went to buy a phone and found that there was a sale on which was nice for the price but service was a bit slow as they were swamped by the crowd.
C.
I was greeted at the door and had a very helpful salesman. Got what I needed at a very good price.
