Allied Gaming

They are scammers i purchased a pc monitor 13th of February 2026 they sent me an email stating that it's in progress building the pc monitor. I sent Allied Gaming an email and they responded back stating they are in difficulty and that they will not… Read more

be able to send or refund my monitor worth $3307 and that i would need to get in touch with me credit card provider.

DO NOT DEAL WITH THIS COMPANY I ordered a computer about a week ago then I receive an email saying they are having financial problems. Not only only are they not sending me the computer but they are also not going to refund me. I know they have a lot of positive reviews but I am positive that they are scammers and again if they are having financial problems why are you still able to order computers from them to this day ?.

**UPDATE: The computer has been returned via post, confirmation received that it was delivered to the Allied Gaming team. Before I packed it up, video proof was taken to show that even when plugged in, it would not turn on. Still no refund. PayPal… Read more

are currently chasing this on my behalf as it had to be escalated before Allied Gaming would agree to give a refund.

**ORIGINAL REVIEW: The computer we received did not work - it would not power on. Being a Christmas gift for my son I was incredibly stressed that as of the 22/12, it appeared that it was dead on arrival. Honestly, I felt physically ill as this was not a purchase that was easy to make, it took a lot of careful planning to be able to afford this computer and it was the only gift I had for him.

2 days out from Christmas and I was left with some of the worst troubleshooting advice and potentially having to try and arrange a refund for the $2,500 it cost me to buy what was looking like an oversized paperweight.

Proof in the form of photos were provided: The power cord plugged in and turned on - The black switch on the back of the PC turned on with the cord plugged into the back - No lights or fan movement when turning the PC on with the power button on the side of the tower - Screen plugged in via the HMDI port in the back GPU socket (not the motherboard above), showed no signs of life from the PC.

They asked for photos again after I had already provided them. Sent me this insane troubleshooting list that required me to pull apart the computer from the inside out to try and find the source of the issue myself. Asking if I had a spare power cord on hand that would fit the computer... I did not. The whole reason I purchased this computer was so I didn't have to custom build it myself as I do not have the skillset required.

After a near mental breakdown at the thought of having no gift for my son on Christmas, I had to call a family member for help. They had to bring their own power cord over from their own tower. We managed to get it to switch on briefly before it froze up during a Microsoft update, we are now back to a computer with no power, regardless of which power cord is used, it's dead.

No Christmas present and no refund to purchase a replacement.

The lesson here is to stick with local businesses where you can physically pick up the computer and visit the store if something isn't right, and if you must order online, order well before November if you can financially do so.

I never leave reviews on anything, no matter how bad the experience was, because everyone has a bad day from time to time, cr#p happens. I have no doubt that these folks are working hard and likely overtime around Christmas, mistakes happen, but for a brand new $2,500 computer to be dead on arrival, leaving me fighting for a refund is not acceptable.

Absolutely gutted.

I ordered a ready to ship pc online, with a 2 changes to the pc. After receiving the order confirmation I did not receive anymore updates via email or sms regarding my pc. The only time they would message is when I chased them up. The first email that I had received the day after the purchase which Allied Gaming followed up with me had quoted that… Read more

it was in the 1st day of 2-7 day processing period. Which I understood and bore in mind that other orders were present. No emails followed through after that point that it got the 7th day of the 2-7 day processing period. I had to email myself on the 8th day, which was outside the quoted time frame. I had no emails of my order being shipped or dispatched, I emailed and asked what is going on with my order. They replied and said that my order was ready but “did not make it onto the delivery van from their end”. It is now in transit to my nearest delivery facility, which has no been updated to arrive next week. Which would make it 3 weeks from purchase date. This is disappointing as this was meant to be a gift that I thought would have been here on time but it is not going to make it. I read many reviews saying that the communication was great and delivery was quick. No one mentioned that the $200 priority fee would make this much of a difference. I’m still yet to try the pc which I’m sure will be what it is meant to be, but in terms of the order process it is quite a mess in my experience and it’s something that I will not get nothing back for except for a “I am sorry this has happened to you” from them if I am lucky.

2Year Warranty! – OMG this new computer looks amazing!! It’s so beautiful, looks like great quality, the colourful lights are so cool! Blah Blah Blah… We’ve all been there, we’re all happy with our purchases, we talk about Allied Gaming to our friends and family. But what happens if and when something goes wrong? They’re located in SA! Oh crap, did I keep the… Read more ·  1

packaging? Why should I keep such large boxes for 2 straight years? Do not worry about any of that. Relax. Take a deep breath, get in touch with Allied Gaming and let them know what the problem is. They will ask plenty of questions and troubleshoot with you until you’re both satisfied with what could be wrong. In my case it was the power supply. 6mths down the track and my PC suddenly shuts down, then creates a large spark and surges the power in my entire home when I try turning it on again! Doesn’t matter, I got my electricity sorted at the power box, and my first assumption was the power supply dying on me. Allied Gaming offered to have my PC sent to them for repair then sent back, but I opted for them to send me a new power supply and install it myself. It came so quickly, I was without a working PC for only 3 days!!! They gave me instructions and photos if I needed them, but as it turned out, it was easier to swap power supplies than I expected. I was so impressed with how quickly I could get in touch with Allied Gaming and sort out the issue effectively. I feel even more at ease for the remainder of my warranty period knowing that if anything were to ever go wrong again, it’s not going to be a major issue.

UPDATED: Didn't receive yet, but the support team is caring of me – I bought a PC from Allied Games on 25th of January. They were fast, as 26th was a public holiday, and dispatched it by the 27th via Australian Post. The sales team contacted me about my purchase, and I told them I was pretty happy with it, but they should offer more options for delivery, since Australian Post is one of the worst companies of… Read more ·  2

Australia. I didn't hear back from them, and guess so? My PC that was coming from SA to WA, has been in an Australian Post warehouse since the 3rd of February. I contacted Australian post, it was supposed to be delivered yesterday, but it will late, and they don't know how long it will take to delivery something that it is 30min far from my home. So, I as I contacted Allied Games giving feedback about Australian Post and didn't hear from them, I am giving 1 star to the service till the present moment, for the poor choice to choose a company like Australian Post as their unique freight company.

UPDATE: Christian from Allied did answer my email, but from a different inbox. So, it went to my spam folder, and I couldn't see it. All good from Allied side, he called me straight away after my review, and clarified some information. 5 starts till now for Allied, Auspost continues with a -10 starts, since they are the trouble. I will continue recommending companies to offer more freight options since Australian Post isn't reliable at the moment.

Purchased an Allied gaming PC for my son a few years ago. I have contacted Allied to ask several questions & have always had an excellent experience when dealing with their customer service officer Christian. His quick responses & knowledge of gaming PCs is fantastic. He always takes the time to understand exactly what I’m asking, I send him… Read more ·  1

screenshots of my son’s issues on his computer & he explains everything clearly to a non gamer that has no idea what my son is talking about. 10/10

The PC I bought 2 years ago is a good quality. It is not the best or perfect, BUT The support I received from Allied Gaming has been amazing. All my concerns about the PC and it's build, including upgrading many components as my PC was growing with me were met. I am content and happy with my PC and Allied Gaming Support. My PC performs great! So there is little to no compromise on the build itself, despite it being a very small form PC. Show reply

Amazing website so easy to navigate and understand for someone not well versed in pc’s and the type of build you’re looking for. Great service from beginning to end with even better customer service and assistance getting the rig set up. Show details ·  1

Honestly, I wouldn’t recommend buying from this company, I can’t speak for how good other company’s are like aftershock, but honestly I brought a patriot mark 2 couple months ago and I’ve had nothing but issues, issue after issue after issue, I don’t have an overly high amount of money so that has really upset me! I would recommend going to ur… Read more

local trusted pc shop so they can build it right infront of you! Customer service is relatively quick in response but so far I haven’t had much help, I’m from wa so sending my pc back wouldn’t be an option for me as I use it for study and work! I think it would be nice if they maybe tried to have authorised pc repair under their name in each state!

Computer didn't start after spending 2.5k on it. Had to reinstall a bunch of things. There was a clicking noise, lack of washers on screws. I recommend buying pc parts yourself and building so, I was lazy and wanted to pay others to do it. Do yourself so you can only blame you.

I bought the ALLIED STINGER-I: RTX 5060 8GB GAMING PC last year and had to return it three times. First time it was a problem with the hard drive which took 2 months to get back, THEN it was another hard drive problem which also took two months. THEN it was a memory problem which took around a month. And now, while running one application, the… Read more

power-box exploded! It lasted a year and 2 months! It was such a problem to deal with especially since we had to set up it MANY times! I thought it would be a good Pc but turned out to be a waste of money. Do better Allied!

PC was built quickly. Any questions I had was answered accurately and response time was quick. Over all, great gaming PC even just for a starting PC to game with. Show details ·  1

My siblings computer suddenly started making a consistent chirping noise every 30-ish seconds and the computer had brief intense lag that accompanied it. With the help and guidance of the Allied Gaming Support team, we discovered that her hard drive was glitching and lagging and caused the issue. Allied requested the HDD so they could examine it… Read more ·  1

and make sure it was causing the faults. Once it was confirmed that it was broken, they promptly issued a new HDD storage replacement. The Allied Gaming Support team has consistently been helpful and accommodating by sending detailed instructions and video/photo examples so that we could carefully and successfully remove and replace delicate items in the computer. I've never had a poor experience with this team and company and they've always been quick to act with any issues we may have had. Cannot recommend them enough!

The whole shopping experience was excellent. The staff were very helpful and they managed to deliver the pc and keyboard in the timeframe that I needed. Everything came in a very well packed box. We watched the set up video and easily got it up and running. The coloured lights on the keyboard were a big hit. I highly recommend Allied Gaming. Show details ·  1

I purchased an Allied Stinger Gaming PC to run Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024. This PC is perfect with MSFS running smoothly. I had a few questions about the PC setup and I found that the Allied Support was both prompt and very helpful. Show details ·  1

I recently contacted Allied Gaming for advice on upgrading my Flight Sim PC to a rig which would run MSFS at high resolution levels.

read some reviews about elay/s in shipping but this was far from my experience. I was able to track the shipment and it arrived in very quick time....a few days. The follow-up service and advice has been exemplary....it feels like I have a friend helping me set up and configure my new rig to achieve optimum results. Thanks Allied. Chris Parker Bundaberg

Awesome customer support, have been quick with replies and feedback to help support the customer with any questions or concerns which is rare to come by these days. Will 100% recommend Show reply

Bought a PC about 3-4 years ago prebuilt (around 3k), did some upgrades. Didn’t do a good job Christian from allied gaming has been supporting me through the entire process of helping me fix my blunder, his words were something to the tune of “ once your an allied customer, your always an allied customer” despite the fact that it’d been years… Read more ·  1

since my purchase, the pc was flawless, purchase easy, arrived safe and secure, post customer support, even years on, second to none, I’ll never buy a PC from anywhere else because of Christian
