Frequently Asked Questions

Customization Questions

Can I customize any computer or any component?

While most computers can be customized, not all can. Laptops in particular are more limited with their customization options, often only having room to customize an item by removing a different one. Some parts are also not interchangeable, for instance DDR3 RAM will not fit in a slot designed for DDR4 RAM or vice versa. We take the guesswork out of this process though, and all upgrades that are available through us for a unit will be listed in the customization options for the item. We also offer a handy customization guide available here to help you decide what parts would work best for your particular needs. This way you do not need to become an expert to know what parts to add to your computer to make it perfect for you.

Can I customize any component on this computer?

All components are not able to be customized on all computers. Any components available to be customized on the unit you are looking at will be listed in the customization options for the item. If an item is not listed there we are not able to customize it for you currently.

Can I add another hard drive to this computer?

If you are able to add additional hard drives to a unit, this will be listed in the customization options for that unit. If this customization option is not listed, this unit is not able to have additional internal hard drives. You would still be able to use an external hard drive connected via USB or Thunderbolt 3 for additional storage capability.

Can I add more RAM to this computer?

If you are able to upgrade/add more RAM to a unit this will be listed in the customization options for that unit. If this customization option is not listed, this upgrade or addition is not possible. On many laptops in particular, the ability to upgrade or add RAM may be limited or nonexistent. We do offer a wide variety of different units that are able to have this upgrade/addition applied though, and if the unit you want does not have this option please check out our other offerings here that can be upgraded.

Can I change the color of this computer?

Unfortunately we are not able to change the color of a computer. We do offer several models with multiple color options from the manufacturer. If this is an option it will be listed in the customization options for that item. If this is not an option for the unit you would like please check out our other offerings at the link here.

Can I change the Case/CPU/Graphics Card/Battery/Screen in my laptop?

Due to the issues upgrading components in laptops, these components are either not at all customizable, or the customization options are severely limited. As such we do not specifically upgrade these parts, if you would like a unit with a different option for these components you would need to select a different unit. Our selection of different laptops is available at the link here.

Can I change the CPU/Graphics Card/Power Supply/Motherboard/Case in my desktop?

While virtually every part of a desktop is customizable pre-built units from manufacturers can provide some difficulty with in depth customizations, and as such we do not currently offer upgrade options for these items. We are exploring options for this now though, so please check back and if this is a service that you would be interested in please let us know using our comments form at the link here.

Can I change the version of Windows on the computer?

Unfortunately due to the way that Windows is installed by OEM manufacturers we are not able to offer different versions of Windows than what what was originally installed on the machine. If the system were to ever need to be restored to factory settings you could lose access to the upgraded copy of Windows as the system would always reinstall the version that was originally installed to the unit, and even worse you could lose data or access to programs that are not replaceable. As such we do not offer this upgrade option unless it is an option from the factory. If you would like to upgrade your copy of Windows 10 home to Windows 10 professional yourself, you can do so using the link here. Make sure to keep track of the product key code that they provide as you will need this in the future if there is an issue with your Windows activation.

Can I have software removed/added to my computer?

We are not able to add or remove any software programs from customized computers at this time. If this is a service that you would be interested in please let us know using our comments form at the link here.

Do custom computers have warranty coverage?

All customized computers that we sell are also covered by the manufacturer's warranty, but this only applies to the OEM, non-customized parts of the system. All customized components (any component added to a unit by us according to your specifications) are covered by the NexiPC warranty guarantee and have 1-year of FREE warranty coverage provided by us. All upgraded components (components upgraded from OEM original specifications including; RAM, SSD's and HDD's) are covered by the NexiPC warranty guarantee and have 2-years of FREE warranty coverage provided by us.

Customer Service Questions

I received a customized computer from NexiPC, but it seems the box has been opened. Is the computer sent to me new?

All computers customized by NexiPC have been opened to install the desired components into the system. As such you will notice that the product box has been opened and the factory seal will be cut. This is a necessary part of the customization process for us to install the upgrades, and the computer is never used during this process. As such you can rest assured that the computer is indeed new, and is exactly the way you ordered it.

I received a customized computer from NexiPC, but the stickers on the outside say different parts from what I ordered. Is this computer correct?

Our customized computers will in most cases ship in the manufacturers original packaging. As such the product identifier stickers on the outside of the box will no longer accurately describe the contents of the system. If after opening the unit you still are not sure if the item has the correct specifications please contact us at the link here.

The unit I received does not have the specifications that I ordered. What do I do?

Due to the customizations added to your computer the outside packaging will not accurately reflect the system configuration of your computer. If after opening the unit you still are not sure if the item has the correct specifications please contact us at the link here.

How do I file a warranty claim?

For assistance with warranty claims please send us an email at the link here. Please provide your order number in your email and specify what the issue is you are encountering with your computer. Please also provide any error messages that have displayed, as well as any pictures that you have taken that you feel may help show the issue. Our expert tech support team will then help guide you through the warranty process. Our technicians will determine what the issue is and then figure out what steps to take to resolve the problem for you as quickly as possible.

If I have more questions, how should I contact NexiPC?

Our contact information is listed below at the bottom of the page, or can be accessed here. Please feel free to contact us at any time.

How long does it take my refund to be processed?

It takes 2-3 business days to process your return from the time that we receive it, at which point we will provide your refund. It typically takes another 1-3 business days for the refund to then process, though this time period depends on your financial institution's processing times regarding refunds. As such total refund processing time will be between 3-6 business days from the time we receive the return.

I ordered a video game console with a game, and when I got it the game was not in the box. How do I get my game?

Occasionally games will wind up in a place in the packaging that you would not expect it. Typically these games are sent as codes and they might be with the manuals or with the exterior packaging in an unusual spot. Please search carefully and if you still are not able to find the game please let us know here.

I ordered a 20XX year product but I received one that says it is older than this. Why did I not get what I ordered?

Unfortunately manufacturers love to make this difficult, computers now are much like cars in this. The 20XX model year computers are actually produced a year earlier than the advertised date. This gives manufacturers time to get units to retailers and work through issues, but creates confusion as to what a given years model actually is. If you feel there is an issue with your order please contact us at the link here for assistance.

I never received my order, but it was marked as delivered. What do I do?

Please check with friends, neighbors, family members, apartment personnel, and anyone else that may have received this package without telling you. Check the tracking information and determine who signed for the item and try to find someone by that name or a similar name. If you still are not able to find the order please contact our customer service team at the link here. You will need to file a claim for the item with the carrier, or pursue a stop payment with your financial institution to rectify the issue, but we will help you get this process started.

My item arrived damaged. How can I get a replacement?

If you received a damaged item, please contact us within 24 hours of receiving the item to start the damage claims process. Please take detailed photographs of the damages to the unit, and send those to us along with an explanation of the issue using the email address at the link here.

My item is defective. How can I get a replacement?

If you received a defective item, please contact us immediately after noticing the defect to start the defective item claims process. Please send us an email with a detailed description of the defect using the email address at the link here.

My computer did not come with a power cable. How can I get this?

Manufacturers have been getting crafty with their placement of these items, please thoroughly check the packaging for this item. There will likely be a "hidden" compartment in the packaging materials where they place the cord, and this will likely not be easily visible. Please carefully check the Styrofoam and cardboard packaging for this compartment and if you still are not able to find the cable please let us know at the link here.
