If you choose to buy from RamCity, check your RAM modules carefully when they arrive- I was sent generic brand RAM when I paid for Crucial brand. I noticed that the modules looked different to the listing and didn't have Crucial branding, so contacted RamCity. To their credit, they responded quickly and apologetically, with the explanation that… Read more
there is a shortage of Crucial brand RAM. However, their options for remediation were a refund, or a 10% discount- when the generic brand RAM retails for just over half the price of Crucial brand.
WD Purple HDD for CCTV 3Gig – Arrived as expected via express paid delivery by courier. Item as described. Packaging appropriate with air bag and bubble wrap in cardboard box. HDD sealed in solid plastic bag. Easy removal and replacement item, works perfectly, got the one camera recording again as I dropped the CCTV box by accident. I'm in the process of upgrading. However,… Read more
this drive is larger and more solid than the one shipped with my Swann DVR, and purposefully built by Western Digital. I'm guessing I won't get any crashes anymore from reading previous reviews. I did a disc format initialization and reboot before checking on the recordings. Website experience was good also, chat support was offered during account set-up and checkout, but not needed personally.
Plus, 3 years warranty to boot! Warranty label info and invoice provided, as well via the online account. All in all, a good experience, so I gave them 5stars. Happy to purchase from an Australian company with quality products. AAA+++ recommended Australian supplier, will buy again.
PS, If you can see the photo I uploaded; the size of the old 500Gig HDD removed from an 8 channel Swann DVR unit (although I bought cheap on special) compared with the packet size of the WD Purple drive showing warranty information. Moral of story: Cheap units are good to start while you buy components for a better system depending on the requirements/your needs.
Customer support exceeded my high expectations – Contacted Leonard from RamCity wanting advice on a suitable product to upgrade my laptop. His guidance, advice, ease of communication and information links to additional support, made a complex task so much simpler. Exceptional service - thank you :D Show details
No Ownership from Staff – Feedback on Ram City Experience. Website and Taking my money = 10 Shipping item to address supplied = 0 Answer my emails in a timely fashion = 0 Calling me back with updates = 0 Helpfulness of Customer Service Staff = 0 Ordered a product from their website to be sent to Auckland New Zealand, they send it to Denmark, despite having correct… Read more
address. Placed order on 15th June, as of 24th June item still lost.
Ram City say they can’t get hold of their warehouse manager, which turns out to be another supplier somewhere in Australia, as it transpires Ram City don’t hold the stock, but are drop shippers. No accountability from Ram City, just blaming DHL and their warehouse manager!
Keep harping on about 10 day delivery window – from their website “This means if you order before 2pm (Australian Eastern Standard Time, Mon-Fri, excluding public holidays), we can ship your order on the same day and get it to you as soon as possible! “ – 9 Days after placing my order nothing.

Need to up your game Rod.
Super fast delivery. Excellent product! – Easy to use instructions with the product. High quality and great service! Ordered online with ease using Afterpay and product packaging was great. Highly recommend these guys for a great product. Show details
Excellent service and customer support – Ramcity staff are very helpful and very knowledgeable. They've got lots of things in stock if you're gonna build or upgrade your computer. The website is easy to use and deliveries are fast. I've had some issues assembling some of the parts, but their customer service helped me a lot! They were patient and polite, and gone through all troubleshooting with me. Couldn't be happier.
Ramcity has excellent customer support – The website was clear and informative for a non-IT person. Putting in my device details gave me all available options. Youtube DIY videos clearly instructed my partner how to replace her ram and hard drive without confusion. Her Macbook pro from 2012 now runs slick and there are considerable improvements in booting time and opening applications.… Read more
Ramcity gave us the confidence to do the upgrade ourselves and both of my interactions have been smooth and enjoyable. Cant recommend them enough.
Thank you team.
Outstanding knowledge and service, great experience and professional at the highest – Very simple and straight forward, helpful website and employees. Professional and fast service, the word perfect would not even cover the knowledge and customer service that I get from Ramcity.
They'll choose how they send your orders and In stock dont mean in stock – Story is I choose a graphics card with 30+ in stock listed . My thinking being their website states most of their orders ships from Eagle Farm Q.L.D, I'm local within 25 kms as they offered "AustPost Express for delivery" (metro to metro city from my experience even from Perth W.A has always arrived next day.) I get the dispatch email saying… Read more
its been shipped through "Couriers Please"? Have you seen the reviews on here and online regarding them? But that's not the point why give me delivery options only to send by anyone they like? I email asking nicely why they have done this and if "Couriers Please" are faster in delivery as being Friday I wanted my order by Saturday as its a birthday present for my child.
Couriers Please has on their website same day delivery option I thought maybe they did this. The reply;
"The graphics card stock wasn't held at our Eagle Farm warehouse, so we had to ship it directly from our supplier, who only use couriers for their shipping"
Fair enough it is not at their Eagle Farm dispatch but at a suppliers? In stock to me means in stop not at a different organization and the option for AustPost knowing this should be removed for that item as it's not an option.
I can't stand having my choices taken from me by misleading advertising. At the least when confirming the order they should note it will be shipped by a third party supplier due to 'blah.. 'blah... instead of giving me the illusion that they had the product.
And the icing on the cake is the rest of the reply which is just rubbish that:
"None of the delivery methods we offer including Couriers Please" (who are not even listed on their website as a delivery choice!)... "allow for weekend deliveries!" And "Couriers Please delivery should be faster than the Australian Post (2-3 business days)"
I have had every single AustPost Express Delivery from the internet delivered Next Day and on Saturdays so this is a blatant lie! I will not recommend any service that will take people's choices away from them.
That they can not Notify of changes and or inaccuracies, say they have something that they don't only to falsely inform you that AustPost Express do not deliver on a Saturday plus their "Supplier" only uses couriers! Just dodgy business practices to secure the order at any cost, "screw" the customer right?

Helpful, fast, easy – Ordered from them before (upgrading the RAM in some inherited laptops) because they were competitive (while still having good customer service) so went straight to their online tool to figure out what kind of RAM i needed. Ordered on Monday arvo, arrived Thursday (normal post) and as usual, they were v helpful - i've used the online selection… Read more
tools before, but this time i got stuck, and thanks to online staff chat was able to put my order in. Right RAM arrived, i installed no probs, doubling my RAM to 16gb - so am v happy at new zippiness.
Superb customer focus – Placed an order for an ssd and backup dock. The order was prompt and well packaged. MacOs caused the dock’s software to duplicate the existing, smaller drive onto the larger ssd, formatting the larger ssd to the same size as the original. Ramcity patiently talked me through an alternative method involving Superduper with success. This is why i… Read more
choose local distributors over overseas ‘cheaper’ providers. Very impressed and will gladly use again. Paul, WA
What can i say.... PERFECT – I bought the new crucial mx500 1tb ssd and I must admit it is amazingly fast. Boot time is only a few seconds now, loading programs are super fast. Absolutely superb.
Top service and videos – For 200$ was able to upgrade my old MacBook Pro to a new machine!!, with an SSD crucial MX500 The videos are so easy to follow, didn’t use the anti static mat though. Thank you sooooooo much

Fantastic service – Fantastic service. I bought the wrong RAM and they call me to let me know, recommend on replacement, 20$ cheaper, and return the extra money I already paid.
Excellent experience after ordering the wrong product – I just followed the instructions and guess what .. everything worked.. I received the correct RAM a couple of weeks later .. no fuss .. just right. These guys are the best.
Gold Service ALL THE WAY +AAAAA+ – Absolutely gold service! We had a mishap /miss-understanding somewhere during my online chat researching SSD compatibility with my MBP. I had been sold the wrong drive. Rod Bland took everything I had said into consideration about the miss-understanding and was happy to come an agreement where we both were happy (I was happy anyway so I hope Rod… Read more
really was too).
Whats worse, the new product sent out got lost in the mail after going through a mail-redirection at AusPost. RamCity didn't even hesitate to send a replacement product out (which was not a cheap item).
With just my 'word' to go on Rod listened and accepted what I was saying and didn't just blow me off and shut down the situation. I can't recommend them enough. I am now a lifetime customer even if I find a cheaper product.
Thanks Rod and Ram City Team!
Couldn't be happier – I was very nervous about replacing the RAM and storage in my MacBook Pro. Never done it before. Contacted RAM City, followed their advice, ordered what they suggested, it was surprisingly cheap, and got it the next day. Then the fun bit. I followed their excellent YouTube videos, contacted the website in the middle of the process for some… Read more
hand-holding (thanks Harold!) and did what they said. Fired up the laptop, it works perfectly. A seven year-old laptop that is now working like a brand-new machine. Go on, do it. You will be fine.
great service from them – The Ram module is working perfectly very pleased with the result ( speed ) great delivery very fast and I received good advise on unit to buy. I recommend Ramcity as I had no problems at all.
Reliable, no fuss, and completely professional – I recently placed my first order with RamCity and would not hesitate to recommend them. The products are accurately and sufficiently described for their purpose, a Chat pop up arrived at exactly the right time before I had decided on my purchase, the ordering process was simple, delivery was possible to a parcel locker, and from the moment I… Read more
placed the order to the moment I collected it the company communicated consistently and clearly regarding progress and delivery status. RamCity sets a great example for all online retailers.
Worst Experience Ever – Placed an online order for ram stock said 1 avail approx 2 weeks later I was emailed ram back ordered, I requested a refund to be told I'm in refund cue 7 days on still no refund to my card. Nearly a month on its really ridiculous any normal retailer immediately supplies or refunds to my card overnight. I mean how many refunds are in the cue? I am… Read more
considering referring this to ASIC and Consumer Affairs there seems to be multi-tier pricing I wouldn't buy from their website although their service seemed second 2 none the back end is 1 out of 10.
Comprehensive product range, great service team and fast delivery. A high quality trusted service! – I’m impressed with RamCity service. I've used RamCity several times with most purchases without issue. I needed to return a somewhat specialised memory module for motherboard compatibility. RamCity return policies and processes (RMA) are well developed, very reasonable and communicated effectively (excellent emails followed up by phone call from… Read more
RamCity). The shipping/transport service used by RamCity is very prompt. In summary, I got great service. I look forward to future business and am happy to recommend RamCity to friends and colleagues.
Great customer service and very impressive delivery – i am very impress with this company, very patient customer service and very fast delivery services. I am really happy and will really recommend this to buyers

Great service – Very fast delivery Very Professional and Customer Service is above and beyond the normal with so many different companies. Keep it up ram city
Best supplier I've dealt with – First time I've written a review about a supplier but feel these guys deserve the good word spread. As the chief purchaser for a company of 400+ staff across Mac and Windows I do a lot of purchasing and these guys provide the best service bar none. They are upfront, honest, provide good prices and a reliability that is to be commended. They follow… Read more
through on warranties, they provide quick turnaround times.
These guys are worth buying from for sure and are worth your trust.
Awesome place to buy your tech – I have purchased several things from Ramcity. Never disappointed. Items arrive quickly, and they are 100% real....you never know with other online stores and their prices are very good. Will definitely keep returning. Great customer service too (thanks Mitchell)
Ordered disk drive for 2007 Apple Mac DIY repair – Super fast delivery. Did repair myself using the IFixIt youtube instructions. Worked like a treat. Can recommend RamCity! Ordered memory year ago, same success story.
Thank you for making my Mac more powerful! – I ordered a 2x4GB ram for my (early) macbook pro 2011 and couldn't be more happy. It's so fast! Excellent service, the product came in excellent conditions! 100% Would recomend.
Top advice, greased lightning delivery and they make Perth computer shops look Flintstonesesque – I needed RAM memory for my HP laptop. Tried three Perth computer shops. One sold me incompatible RAM. One tried a couple of modules and gave up without explanation . One did not have the courtesy of replying to my email. Moral of the story for Perth buyers: Look east young man/woman!!! I certainly did and contacted RamCity online. They advised me… Read more
that they had a compatible module and backed their advice with a guarantee of compatibility. I qualified for express delivery as a first time buyer and placed my order at 10.00am Perth time. It was on my doorstep (ex Brisbane) at 9.00am the next day!! And yes it was 100% compatible. RamCity was a little naughty for not including GST in their quoted price but I forgave them because their price plus GST plus shipping was considerably lower than the Perth retailers. Onya RamCity!
Great service – I've done two purchases with RamCity. The first time a customer rep was very helpful as I was contacted after the purchase to confirm I've selected the right RAM for my specific motherboard. It turned out that I didn't and the customer representative quickly fixed my order. The deliver was very fast both times (next day after the order) and so far… Read more
the products had no issues (both times I bought branded products).
The only negative point I'd like to make is that some of their products seem a bit over priced as compared to other sellers. Good customer service, fast delivery some products are expensive
